This mode is an extremely fun and awesome concept but right now has a couple of things I think holds back some of it's execution right now.
First big thing is I think right now the queues is way too limited and for some timezones and players is a bit too late. I think maybe having an additional 2 hour period of the mode being open around 4 to 6 hours earlier could allow for even more data to be collecter on these heroes.
Additionally I think there needs to be some streamlining with the additional heroes in sandbox mode since while yes you can access them through the main hero menu via checkbox, it currently is extremely annoying having to exit out of sandbox mode to swap to said characters without using some commands players may not know about. Making it so hitting a checkbox so you can select these heroes through the change hero menu would be awesome.
Finally I think these characters should be playable in private lobbies. A huge reason for the limited time queues with this mode from what I could read in the patch notes is because they wanted people to be able to get games pretty quickly. I think allowing groups of 12 players to test these characters in private matches would help immensely in testing characters in more traditional pvp matches would be valuable additional data.
Hopefully this will be helpful to you guys! Thank you!
