This Master-level project explores the application of systematic UI design in a fast-paced, multiplayer environment. Through critical analysis and redesign of Overwatch 2’s interface, the project aims to restore clarity, consistency, and user flow across menus and game layers.

Problem

Overwatch 2 introduced new systems and monetization layers, but several UX choices reduced clarity and fairness. Matchmaking, map picks, and reward systems often felt outside of player control, leading to frustration across PC and console audiences.

Outcome

• Map-pick system suggested choice but relied on hidden algorithms, undermining trust.
• Lootbox mechanics created excessive duplicates, lowering reward satisfaction.
• Cross-platform UI showed inconsistencies between PC and console, hurting accessibility.

Learnings

• Transparency in system logic is essential to maintain long-term player trust.
• Reward systems must balance randomness with fairness to sustain motivation.
• Consistent cross-platform UI ensures equal accessibility and smoother onboarding.
