Overwatch is tot op heden één van de best verkopende games van dit jaar. De game wordt nog steeds ontzettend veel online gespeeld en met de komst van nieuwe Heroes, zijn frequente patches natuurlijk een must.
Momenteel is de nieuwe patch in test-fase voor de PC en deze zal op een later tijdstip ook naar de PlayStation 4 worden gebracht, maar wanneer precies is nog onbekend. Hieronder kun je de lijst met aanpassingen en bug fixes bekijken. Let wel, voor de PlayStation 4 kunnen op de lange termijn nog aanpassingen worden gedaan.
General updates
- Static cameras are now supported in spectator mode
- Team names can now be edited in custom games
- Raised the volume of Hanzo’s Dragonstrike voice line while wearing the Okami/Lone Wolf Skin
- Heroes hit by Ana’s Nano Boost have a new voice line that informs other players
- Increased frequency of Reinhardt’s “barrier failing” voice line
- Custom Games can now be paused
Hero balance updates
Ana
- Nano Boost – Ultimate cost has been increased by 20%
- Biotic Grenade – Radius has been increased from 3 to 4 meters
Widowmaker
- Widow’s Kiss – Scoping-in animation time has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.3 seconds
User Interface Updates
- Several minor aesthetic changes have been made to the game’s Main, Social, and Options menus
- Removed several stats that were duplicated for certain heroes throughout the career profile
- Camera movement in Spectator Mode has been improved
- Controller users can now choose between two aiming modes
- Dual-Zone mode (New default): The vast majority of the thumbstick’s range moves with reduced sensitivity and relatively high acceleration. However, when the thumbstick crosses to the outer 10% of its range, it will move with high sensitivity and relatively low acceleration. This mode will allow for more precise aiming, while still allowing players to turn around quickly.
- Exponential Ramp mode (Old default): As the thumbstick moves toward the outside of its range, the sensitivity is ramped up exponentially. The acceleration remains relatively high throughout.
Social Features
- Certain commendations will now appear less frequently during end-of-round voting, and others will appear more frequently (e.g. Most Gold Medals and Torbjörn’s Armor Packs Created)
