Rules
- 9 Players FFA Playstyle, where the player with 200 points win.
- Hard heroes are unlocked with 3 eliminations.
- Very Hard heroes are unlocked with 6 eliminations.
Hard and Very Hard heroes are intended to be unlocked further, because they're harder to understand or play.
Points System
- A single elimination grant up to 10 points. This means that if you eliminate 20 players without any other enemies contributing to the kill, you win the match.
- The points are divided among the players who contributed to the elimination.
This system was created to address the biggest issue in Overwatch's original Deathmatch: players frequently stealing kills and taking 100% of the credit for the elimination.
