There has been a brand new Overwatch patch in which Lucio’s Wall Ride speed has been restored, as well as a minor buff made to Mercy’s Valkyrie ability. There has been a number of alterations in particular to Mercy as of late, some of which has been the cause of a lot of controversy. There has also been a number of new voice lines added for Cultist Zenyatta, with PC players able to take advantage of the new social tools which are now on offer.
As for the actual bug fixes which have been made, there has been an issue in which a bug prevented Mercy’s momentum from correctly slowing down if Guardian Angel is canceled. Another bug fix sees the problem with the prevention of the visual effects on Sombra’s Pumpkinette victory pose displaying properly.
Community manager Josh Engen stated regarding the changes: “This method makes Resurrect more flexible when used with Valkyrie. For example, in the past if you wanted to resurrect two teammates, you had to revive the first target, then activate Valkyrie (causing the Resurrect’s cooldown to reset), and then revive the other target. With this change, you can now activate Valkyrie and fly in quickly to resurrect both targets instantly. However, this still reduces the overall number of Resurrects that Mercy can provide, since Valkyrie no longer reduces its cooldown.”
The latest set of patch notes are now up on the official forums, if you’d like to go and take a look at all of the changes that have been made to the popular shooter by Blizzard.
Overwatch is now available on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
