Overwatch Update Out Now, Makes Major Hanzo Changes; Patch Notes Released
Description
A new Overwatch update is going now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, also it presents some significant changes for the experience. Blizzard has not yet just introduced the modern map, Rialto, however it's also released significant balance updates for a number of character--while using biggest in the bunch being the long-awaited revamp of Hanzo.
Blizzard is working by using an update for Hanzo for a while. As detailed from the full patch notes, this finally implements adjustments that are already tested around the PTR recently. He loses his Scatter Arrow ability, containing long been an irritating component of his kit for enemies. In its place, he gets Storm Arrows, which lets him rapidly fire as much as six arrows. Each of the does less damage than a normal arrow, but you are each fired at max power.
Another new ability for Hanzo is Lunge. By pressing jump while he's in mid-air, he's in a position to leap horizontally. Additionally, his default attack turns into a tweak, together with his arrows moving more Fortnite Skins for sale rapidly. Sonic Arrow, currently in use to highlight the positioning of enemies near its landing spot, may be adjusted to use more often but last for any shorter duration. Its cooldown has become 12 seconds (down from 20), its duration is six seconds (down from 10), as well as its radius is seven meters (down from 10).
"The goal of the Hanzo changes is usually to allow him to get new options and gaze after his high damage output, while taking out the frustration of battling with the old Scatter Arrow," Blizzard explained. "Hanzo is currently much more mobile along with his new Lunge ability, and while using combination in the bow projectile speed increase plus the new Storm Arrows ability he'll now deal his high damage more consistently than any other time."
Other hero updates are less impactful however noteworthy. The projectile dimensions of Junkrat's Frag Launcher is currently smaller, and his awesome RIP-Tire is slightly slower. Lucio's Wall Ride should generally become more reliable now even lets him go around corners without leaving the wall. His Soundwave ability also doesn't consume ammo and may be activated while he's reloading.
Tracer's Pulse Bomb loses a chunk of their damage, a big change which is used to make it less deadly to tanks (while still letting it kill other characters). The hitbox size Genji's deflect is actually smaller, and also the cone angle of Brigitte's Shield Bash continues to be reduced.
The most the Fortnite Items patch deals primarily with fixing some lingering bugs and adding some selections for custom games. Those add some ability to disable Mercy's passive, Regeneration.
