Overwatch announces wild new Experimental patch designed by top streamers
A new Overwatch patch has just gone live on PS4, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch bringing in multiple hero changes that need to be seen to be believed.
The Overwatch developers have revealed that the next big balance patch will be designed by three of the game’s biggest streamers and there are some over-the-top changes.
Overwatch hasn’t had a big patch in awhile and now all that has changed thanks to three Twitch streamers: Flats, Violet and Somjuu with each balancing DPS, tank and support heroes.
Some of the changes include increasing the size of D.Va’s Defense Matrix, letting Roadhog lift himself into the air with Wholehog, letting Hanzo’s Storm Arrows bounce of walls, letting Ana Nano herself and letting Zen’s Discord Orb apply to barriers.
It should be noted, however, that due to the ridiculousness of some of these changes, the devs have no plans to actually implement these into the live game.
However, if the April Fools patch is any indication, there is always a chance that some of these updates could actually find their way into the game.
The card will alsofeature a tournamentfor players to sign-up for and partake in on December 10 with as much as $5,000 on the line for first place in North America.
