Zur Überraschung der Community hat das für Overwatch zuständige Entwicklerteam im Verlauf der vergangenen Nacht den nächsten größeren Content Patch für diesen beliebten Hero Shooter auf ihren öffentlichen Testserver aufgespielt, der dort nun einige Zeit lang von allen daran interessierten Personen getestet werden kann. Laut den gestern Abend netterweise in den offiziellen Battle.Net Foren hinterlassenen PTR Patchnotes handelt es sich bei dem Highlight dieses kommenden Updates um das brandneue Spielfeld „Rialto“, welches zu der Kategorie Eskorte gehört, ein Stadtgebiet von Venedig darstellt und schon jetzt in seiner in der Nacht spielenden Variante für den Brawl Vergeltung verwendet wird. Zusätzlich dazu beinhaltet dieser in der Zukunft erscheinende Patch auch noch mehrere notwendige Fehlerbehebungen, kleinere Anpassungen an eigenen Spielen, umfangreiche Spielbalanceänderungen an ausgewählten Helden und die schon vor einigen Monaten angekündigte Überarbeitung von Hanzo.

Weitere Informationen zu den genauen Inhalten dieses Updates findet ihr wie üblich in den folgenden PTR Patchnotes.

 

 

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – April 18, 2018:

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

New Escort Map: Rialto

Rialto was home to Talon agent Antonio Bartalotti’s sprawling estate and the backdrop to the infamous “Venice Incident,” a turning point for Overwatch and Talon. The Italian government has taken great steps to preserve Venice, and the results are striking. Tourists visiting this picturesque town can sample the regional cuisine, enjoy a relaxing gondola ride, visit Galleria D’arte Omnica, or simply take in the sights with a stroll along the canal.

 

 

HERO UPDATES

Genji

  • Deflect
    • Hitbox size has been reduced

 

Developer Comments: The hitbox on Genji’s Deflect was big enough that it would sometimes reflect projectiles that were pretty far away from him. We’ve tightened up the hitbox, which should solve this problem while still fully protecting him from projectiles that would hit him from the front.

 

Hanzo

  • Storm Bow
    • Projectile speed increased from 85 to 100
  • Sonic Arrow
    • Cooldown decreased from 20 seconds to 12 seconds
    • Duration decreased from 10 seconds to 6 seconds
    • Radius decreased from 10 meters to 7 meters
  • New Abilities
    • Lunge
      • Press jump while in the air to leap horizontally
    • Storm Arrows
      • Replaces his existing Scatter Arrow ability
      • Hanzo can now rapidly fire up to 6 arrows that deal reduced damage but are always fired at full power

 

Developer Comments: The goal of these Hanzo changes is to allow him to have new options and maintain his high damage output, while removing the frustration of fighting against the old Scatter Arrow. Hanzo is now much more mobile with his new Lunge ability, and with the combination of the bow projectile speed increase and the new Storm Arrows ability he can now deal his high damage more consistently than ever before.

 

Junkrat

  • Frag Launcher
    • Projectile size decreased from 0.3 to 0.2
  • RIP-Tire
    • Tire movement speed decreased from 13 to 12

 

Developer Comments: These changes are aimed at lowering some of the most frustrating parts about playing against Junkrat. Decreasing the Frag Launcher’s projectile size means he will have to aim a bit more carefully to land powerful direct hits and slowing the RIP-Tire’s movement speed gives his opponents slightly more time to destroy it before it detonates.

 

Lúcio

  • Wall Ride
    • Wall riding is less likely to be interrupted along a single surface
    • Can now go around corners (both outside corners, and inside corners) without having to leave the wall
    • Can now land back on the same wall after leaping away, provided his leap takes him far enough away from the original jumping off point.
    • Wall leap boost decreased from 2.5 m/s to 2.0m/s
  • Soundwave
    • No longer consumes ammo

 

Developer Comments: Wall Ride has been significantly overhauled to allow it to function more smoothly across more areas of every map. Lúcio players should instantly notice a huge improvement in where and how Wall Ride can be used. In addition, Sonic Amplifier’s Soundwave ability was unnecessarily controlled by both a cooldown and an ammo cost, so we’re removing the ammo cost.

 

Tracer

  • Pulse Bomb
    • Max damage decreased from 400 to 300

 

Developer Comments: Pulse Bomb was too good at killing tanks, who can be easy to stick due to their size. This damage reduction makes it less powerful as a tank-destroyer, while keeping it lethal against most other heroes.

 

Brigitte:

  • Shield Bash
    • Cone angle reduced from 90 to 60

 

Dev Notes: When fighting against Brigitte, it often felt like Shield Bash was able to hit you when you felt like you should have dodged it. On the flip side, when playing as Brigitte sometimes you would hit the wrong enemy in the middle of a fight. With the cone being reduced the ability is more accurate to its visual representation.
