Damage falloff range increased from 60-85 to 70-100 metersĭeveloper comments: We’re adjusting Widowmaker’s optimal range to be slightly further out to account for some map locations where counter-sniping was common but just barely outside of the effective range with the damage falloff.Damage falloff is disabled while Tactical Visor is activeĭeveloper comments: This will make Tactical Visor effective for more than just the aim assist, which slightly loses some value as player aim improves.Echo’s accelerated ultimate charge enabled her to have Call Mech available before the Self Destruct explosion went off, making it very difficult for enemies to find a safe place to hide. No longer builds ultimate charge while using Self Destruct until after her mech detonatesĭeveloper comments: No longer building ultimate charge in the window of time between using Self Destruct and when it detonates is targeted at Echo’s Duplicate ability when copying D.Va.Damage area reduced from 3 to 2.5 meters.Hitscan damage now scales to 30% at maximum falloff range, down from 50% for the following heroes:ĭeveloper comments: This change may be difficult to notice immediately as it scales damage over a range slightly more than before, but it will lower the impact of hitscan damage outside of their intended optimal ranges.ĭeveloper comments: We’re making Bastion’s Configuration: Recon weapon more reliable to help strengthen his run-and-gun gameplay when moving between spots he wants to post up with Configuration: Sentry. Here are the full Overwatch Experimental patch notes, including developer comments: They’ll be available in the Experimental card for at least a few days before Blizzard decides whether to roll them out permanently. The change should also mean Echo can’t use Self Destruct as often when she duplicates D.Va.Īs always, there’s no guarantee these changes will make into the live build. The reason for that is because Echo, with her accelerated Ultimate charge when Duplicate is active, was often able to get back into her mech before the previous one exploded. More interestingly, D.Va will no longer generate ult charge between the time she activates the Self Destruct ability and the time the mech detonates. The Call Mech ability, which now deals way more pain than it used to when it falls on an enemy, has a smaller area of damage effect, down from 3 meters to 2.5 meters. Bastion got a buff too, with a weapon spread reduction from 1.5 to 1.2 for better aiming while in Configuration: Recon.Įlsewhere, there’s a nerf for D.Va, but in reality, it’s probably going to affect Echo more. The Heavy Pulse Rifle’s damage falloff won’t be in effect while the Ultimate ability is active. Meanwhile, Soldier: 76 has a Tactical Visor buff in the Experimental patch.
