Sep. 22, 2016New Overwatch Patch Now Available on Public Test Region
Blizzard has released the details of a new patch for hero shooterOverwatch. The patch is presently available on the public test server on PC and will be rolled out officially to the PC, PS4 and Xbox One shortly after.
Blizzard’s post notes that many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the future patch, but since the test region is only available on PC, the notes only reflect changes coming specifically to that platform.
GENERAL UPDATES
General
HERO BALANCE UPDATES
Ana
Developer Comments:So far, we haven’t seen any indication that Ana is too strong overall, but her ultimate charges a little too fast, especially considering the impact it can have on a match. Also, her Biotic Grenades are getting a small boost to help her hit multiple targets.
Widowmaker
Developer Comments:This change will help Widowmaker acquire new targets more quickly and speed up her reaction time in fast-paced situations.
Junkrat
Developer Comments:Junkrat can be an extremely effective hero in the right hands, but RIP-Tire often felt underpowered when compared to his counterparts.
