Hello, heroes! A new Overwatch patch is live for Windows PC players, and we have all the information on what changed, incuding Ana buffs and bug fixes. It’s worth noting that these changes will be included in a larger patch for PS4 and XBO players in the future.
Hero Balances
- Ana’s Biotic Rifle has been buffed, getting a 20% increase to rate of fire and a magazine size increase from 8 to 10.
- McCree has received some adjustments. The damage falloff rate of his primary fire has been decreased by 10 meters. Meanwhile, Alternate Fire received a 15% rate of fire increase. Lastly, the recovery time for Flashbang has been decreased from 0.5 seconds to 0.35 seconds.
Bug Fixes
- Those hit by Ana’s Sleep Dart will now suffer a 0.5 second recovery time. Previously, recovery was instant.
User Interface
- Fixed UI compatibility issues for ATI cards
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes only partially render certain heroes
