Weekly Brawl

Weekly Brawl was a Play Mode in Overwatch.

Weekly Brawl offered a game with new rules every week on Tuesday, in order to shake up gameplay. Some example rules were not being able to switch heroes, only being allowed to play specific heroes, abilities having different cooldowns, hero stacking limitations, or a player's hero being randomly selected upon death.

During seasonal events, the Weekly Brawl was replaced with a special brawl for the three-week duration of the event. When new heroes or maps were released, a brawl featuring that content released alongside it, which may last longer than a week.

On November 15, 2016, the Weekly Brawl was discontinued, and the Arcade and All Brawls! mode took its place.
