Check out the details about the event and what rewards you get for playing.<\/p>\n<p>Mirrorwatch is a temporary addition to the Arcade modes. It&#8217;s a traditional 5v5 mode with required role queue in the usual breakdown: one tank, two damage, and two support. However, the available hero pool is restricted, and each of them have some reimagined abilities to fit their new flip-flopped allegiances. Most of the abilities are familiar but slightly amped up versions of their usual selves, and some of them have been totally changed, so you&#8217;ll want to be sure and read the details before you lock in your Hero.
