Overwatch Update (9/10/2020) Hog Nerf, Torb Buff, Spread Changes

Hero Updates

General

Shotgun patterns no longer apply random rotation. This will affect the following heroes:
Ashe
Doomfist
D.Va
Reaper
Roadhog
Torbjörn

We’re making weapons that utilize shotgun patterns more reliable by removing the random rotation applied to each shot. Individual pellets within the shot will still have a tiny amount of variance to their firing angle for the sake of the shotgun weapon feel, but this change will provide significantly more control over aiming these weapons.

Roadhog

When combined with the changes to shotgun patterns, we’re looking to keep Roadhog’s Chain Hook combo reliable, but not overly powerful against heroes with higher health pools.
Scrap Gun

General

Projectile damage reduced from 7 to 6 (150 total per shot)

Torbjörn

This change to Torbjörn’s secondary fire is aimed at giving it a stronger role at close range. We’re hoping this change allows each shot to feel more impactful, since it has a larger burst. To keep this change in line, we’ve also reduced the damage-per-second.

Rivet Gun

Secondary Fire

Recovery increased from 0.6 to 0.8 seconds
Damage increased from 10.5 to 12.5 per projectile (125 total per shot)

Overwatch Update (8/31/2020) Hero Buffs/Nerfs; Mostly Nerfs

Hero Updates

Armor

Beam-type damage reduction against Armor health pools increased from 20% to 30%

In an environment with less pervasive barriers, some Damage heroes have become increasingly lethal. As such, we’re now looking to reduce damage outputs accordingly. As a cascading effect, this also introduces a need to reduce healing outputs for some Support heroes, as there’s less damage being dealt overall.

Reminder of my Discord: https://discord.gg/Tbm73Fk

Lúcioball Remix

Lúcioball Remix is the wildest way to play Lúcioball yet. With two balls in play at once, plus periodic Bonus Balls worth three points each, scores will skyrocket and astounding plays will be made. Will you keep up, or will the barrage of balls break your brain?
Lúcioball Gameplay Updates

Lúcio moves faster
Lúcio has faster cooldowns
Lúcio punch and boop range increased
Lúcio punch and boop are now partially affected by your facing, to improve ball control
Lúcio can crouch in the air to drop down to the ground
Added new custom game options for Lúcioball

General Updates
Priority Requeue for Backfilled Games

If you join a game after it has started to replace a player who has previously left, you are considered to have "backfilled" into that game. After finishing a game where you backfill, you are now granted a priority requeue the next time you queue to play. You will see a small icon on the interface to denote this status. When you queue for a game with priority requeue status, the matchmaker tries to prioritize finding an appropriate game for you. This normally results in significantly lower times waiting in queue.
Custom Games Updates
Lopsided Teams

Further customize how many players can be on each team in a custom game. While games are still limited to 12 players in total, you are now able to choose any number of slots on Team 1 and Team 2. For Workshop users, this affects how many dummy bots can spawn on each team. If the total number of player slots is 12, that defines how many dummy bots can spawn on each team (e.g. a 4v8 mode would allow for 4 dummy bots on one team and 8 on the other). If the total number of player slots is less than 12, additional dummy bots may be added to either team as long as the total number of players is within 12 (e.g. a 4v0 mode would allow up to 8 additional dummy bots on either team). We're excited to see what asymmetrical game modes you all come up with!
Competitive Updates
Modification to High SR Grouping Restrictions

To match the new maximum SR of 3900 a player can achieve after finishing placements, you can no longer queue for Competitive Play in a group with more than 2 players if any player in the party is 3900 SR or higher.

The Career Profile page has been redesigned to provide a better, more streamlined experience when viewing player profiles. Aside from the brand new look, we’ve also added some new quality-of-life features:

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

Open Queue Added to Competitive Play

Starting with Season 23, Competitive Play will support both Role Queue and Open Queue. These will be separate queues, so you won’t see Role Queue teams playing against Open Queue teams. Open Queue will have its own SR and leaderboard, separate from the role-specific Role Queue SRs and leaderboards.

Adjustments to Seasonal Placements for High SR Players

Beginning with Season 23, the maximum Skill Rating (SR) earned after a player completes each season’s placements has been capped at 3900 SR. Players are still matched with other players of similar skill, as we want to keep matches as fair and fun as possible. As each player participates in more games during the current season, their SR will slowly rise to reach a value that fully reflects their current skill.

This change is intended to address many of the issues that SR Decay tried to fix, but in a more positive manner that rewards staying active and playing more games instead of penalizing players for not playing enough. Achieving a very high SR at the end of a season can no longer be achieved by completing a mere five placement matches. This does mean you may see larger SR differences between all the players in a very high SR match than in previous seasons, as two similar and highly skilled players might have different SRs based on how many games they’ve played during the season.

HERO UPDATES

Ashe

Dynamite

Cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds

Developer Comment: With recent improvements to Ashe’s weapon her overall damage output has increased significantly. Toning Dynamite down will lower her overall damage while keeping her damage output focused on her rifle.

Brigitte

Repair Pack

No longer grants an additional armor health pool

Barrier Shield

Maximum health increased from 200 to 250
Regeneration rate decreased from 100 to 85 health per second
Cooldown when destroyed increased from 3 to 5 seconds

Developer Comment: Granting additional maximum health is a powerful ability and has proven too effective when combined with the additional healing of Repair Pack. Brigitte’s barrier will now provide more protection up front, enabling her to withstand more directed fire, but will also have a longer downtime if it is destroyed.

D.Va

Fusion Cannons

Movement penalty reduced from 50 to 40%

Defense Matrix

Cooldown reduced from 1.5 to 1 second

Micro Missiles

Activation delay reduced from 0.5 to 0.25 seconds

Developer Comment: These buffs are aimed at making D.Va feel more fluid and responsive to play.

Junkrat

Concussion Mine

Trigger delay reduced from 0.156 to 0.1 seconds

RIP-Tire

Time to take control of Junkrat post detonation has been reduced from 1.5 to 0.9 seconds

Developer Comment: These are a couple quality of life changes for Junkrat. This makes it possible to do some Concussion Mine jumps that were no longer possible after a previous increase to its projectile speed.

BUG FIXES

General

Fixed a bug with patch notes truncation for the Taiwanese locale
Fixed a bug with specific hero ultimate voicelines playing both their friendly and enemy team variations

Heroes

Ashe

Fixed a bug with an Incorrect shadow displayed across the hood of the Little Red skin

Lucio

Fixed a bug with Lucio being able to switch to Heal Song while stunned

Reinhardt

Fixed a bug with fire strike appearing invisible for allies

Roadhog

Fixed a bug that allowed Roadhog to hook Baptiste’s Immortality Field

Wrecking Ball

Fixed a bug where Wrecking Ball could hit an enemy much faster than intended with Roll Damage

General Updates
New Feature: Priority Requeue for Collapsed Games

If a competitive game collapses due to a player leaving early, you are now granted a priority requeue the next time you queue to play. You will see a small icon on the interface to denote this status. When you queue for a game with priority queue status, the matchmaker tries to prioritize finding an appropriate game for you. This normally results in significantly lower times waiting in queue.
Competitive Updates

Competitive Open Queue Season 2 has begun! Find this game mode within the Arcade for roughly two weeks. This mode will use standard Competitive Play rules, but will have no role restrictions or role queues.

Hero Updates

Echo

Focusing Beam felt slightly too long-ranged given how lethal it has the potential to be. Echo may have to get a bit closer to utilize the ability but certainly has the mobility to do so.
Focusing Beam

Range reduced from 20 to 16 meters

Genji

We're looking to strengthen Genji's close-range combat effectiveness to help solidify his viability as a mobile burst-damage hero. We'll keep a close eye on his overall power as we're increasing both the flexibility of Deflect and improving the shuriken damage consistency at the same time.
Shuriken

General

Damage increased from 28 to 30

Secondary Fire

Spread reduced from 12 to 9

Deflect

Duration increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds
Can now be cancelled manually

Hanzo

The previous combination of changes to the projectile speed and the damage of Storm Arrows impacted Hanzo more than intended so we're reverting the Storm Arrow damage back its previous value.
Storm Arrows

Damage increased from 60 to 70

Orisa

Halt!

Increased sound effects volume

Fixed a bug where Sombra could sometimes hack people right as they started an ability that would prevent hacking (i.e. Wraithform, Meteor Strike)

Symmetra

Fixed a bug where Symmetra Turrets could be placed on certain spawn doors

Workshop

Fixed a bug in which restarting a rule that was using the Wait action and then executing the same Wait action on the same frame could cause the action to wait forever
Fixed a bug in which using a chased variable for the rate or destination of the Chase action that was modifying it would cause incorrect behavior
Fixed a bug in which the final objective of an Assault, Hybrid, or Escort map could be completed when Disable Built-In Game Mode Completion was in effect
Fixed a bug in which reaching 100% distance or capture progress on the final objective of an Assault, Hybrid, or Escort map would cause endless beeping if Disable Built-In Game Mode Completion was in effect
Fixed a bug which caused the Stop Transforming Throttle action not to work
The Is Using Ultimate value now returns true when D.Va is using either of her ultimate abilities
The Is Using Ultimate value now returns true for the first few frames of Echo’s ultimate (After the first few frames, check the new Is Duplicating value)

Fixed rules with Echo as the designated hero not always executing correctly during or after her ultimate

The Is Using Ability 2 value no longer returns true for Widowmaker if her only existing Venom Mine has been fired off the map

Fixed a bug preventing Sigma's Ultimate Ability from working properly when gravity settings were altered via Workshop or Custom Game Settings
Fixed a bug preventing the names of Dummy Bots from properly showing up in Kill Cams, POTGs, and End of Match Summaries

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/pc#patch-67764

NEW HERO: ECHO (DAMAGE)

Echo is an evolutionary robot created by Dr. Mina Liao and programmed with a rapidly adapting artificial intelligence, versatile enough to fill multiple battlefield combat roles. Having joined up with the Overwatch team to defend Paris against the Null Sector incursion, Echo is seeing action as a full-fledged member of Overwatch for the first time. Echo fires three shots (Tri-Shot) at once, in a triangle pattern. Echo fires a volley of Sticky Bombs that detonates after a delay. Echo uses Flight to surge forward quickly, then can fly freely to avoid danger or maneuver to a more strategic location. Using Focusing Beam, Echo channels a beam for a few seconds, dealing very high damage to targets with less than half health, including barriers. With Duplicate, Echo targets an enemy hero and clones them, gaining all of their abilities and potentially changing a team fight in an instant.

GENERAL UPDATES

New Feature: Training Partner

Within the Practice Range, use the Training Partner Spawner to create a bot of any hero on which you can test your abilities.

General

The Overwatch team has opened servers in a new datacenter to improve the gaming experience for players in the Middle East. Servers will be available beginning April 14, 2020
Added a "Patch Notes" button on the main menu and within the options menu. Selecting this button will open a web browser with the latest available game updates

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

The new Competitive Open Queue will be available in the Arcade for roughly 4 weeks. This mode will use standard Competitive Play rules, including hero pools, but will have no role restrictions or role queues
Hero pools will now change each Monday and will be mirrored across the Overwatch League and Competitive Play
Map pools have been retired. In the short-term, the number of matches played on Paris and Horizon Lunar Colony have been greatly reduced
For more information on hero pool and map pool changes, see our full blog

HERO UPDATES

Tracer

Blink

Improved the accuracy of Tracer's blink movement such that Tracer will more likely end up where the crosshair is pointing

Developer Comments

Tracer will now blink around and over obstacles more easily to move towards the crosshair location. For example, if you aim alongside the corner of a wall, Tracer will blink past the corner
Tracer cannot blink through a space where she otherwise cannot fit normally
Tracer cannot blink over an obstacle which she otherwise cannot jump over normally, with the jump originating from Tracer's height at the start of the blink movement

We hope that these changes to Tracer's blink will feel more responsive than before.

Fixed an issue preventing Team FFA settings and some Hero settings from being pasted back into Custom Game Settings via copy-paste
