    Patch notes.

    http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overw...ic/20745235963

    McCree
    Alternate fire
    Damage decrease from 70 to 45
    Time before reloading decrease from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds (Probably reverse patch form this)

    WidowMaker
    Alternate fire (Snipe)
    Base damage decrease from 15 to 12 (damage multiplier from charging doesn't change)
    Headshot damage multiplier increase from x2 to x2.5
    Player can only re-enter "sniping mode" after the "exit snipe mode" animation finish
    Infra-Sight (Ult)
    Ultimate charge cost increased by 10%

    Bug Fixed
    Improve custom game "High bandwidth Mode" stability
    Mercy will no longer charge her ult if her right click target is shooting shield or ice wall
    Reaper will no longer teleport to weird places
    Fix some bugs in Dorado (Should include the Symmetra one)

    As expected, nerfs to Widowmaker and McCree.

    Feel free to lock if this has been posted/is proven incorrect or whatever.

    rip widowmaker

    - - - Updated - - -

    McREEE nerf doesn't seem that bad, takes 4 shots instead of 3 to kill tracer, 5 shots instead of 3 to kill any 200 hp character. Doesn't seem to be much of a change up close, and hopefully I won't get randomly fanned down at 10+ meters as often now by lucky opponents.

    I'm interested to see how this plays out. I play a lot of D.Va and Zarya and was getting extremely frustrated with getting stunned (hard to see him coming and pre-shield when he comes up behind you when you're fighting his teammates) and pretty much instantly killed by McCrees. He just shouldn't be able to take out tanks that quickly and by himself. What's the point in being a tank at all otherwise?

    If I can actually survive his garbage now, I'll be happy.

    It's not bad against the people he's meant to kill.

    It's a damn sight better if you're playing Roadhog for example as FtH, roll, FtH cannot kill him.
    1 bullet misses and it will not kill Reinhardt either

    Zarya can shield the second fan, and Winston can use his shield and/or jump away.

    As expected. Good changes all round.
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    Of course all of that is dependant on you either killing him or healing or something before he reloads and does FtH a third time and you die anyway.

    Also don't forget FB does 25 damage itself.

    It is a move in the right direction to be sure. He wasn't intended to be a solo tank killer and he can still kill everyone else just the same.

    This nerf isn't aimed at McCree ability to kill tracers, but targets tougher than her.

    A McCree kill Tracer with flashbang (25 dmg) + single headshot (140 dmg). You shouldn't use a fan to kill her.

    So WM will do less damage on bodyshots, but more damage on headshots, and out of snipe mode is the same?

    "Fixed some bugs in Dorado (Should include the Symmetra one)."
    What Symmetra bug?

    No, her headshot is the same. Math is hard.

    There are a half-dozen well known map exploits. This hopefully fixes some of them.

    On Dorado Symmetra can place her turrets where they can shoot through the environment and can be annoying to kill. We basically have an entire topic about it.

    Servers are up but it's definitely NOT live on NA yet. Still getting gibbed by McCheese on a tank.

    Might actually start seeing McCrees use their primary fire now!

    Ok with the widow changes, she should be rewarded for proper setup and aim anyways. That Ult is still the best ult in the game though.

  16. #16
    Time to play Zenyatta again!

  17. #17
    These changes are great. I didn't even realize I was getting Ult charge when my teammates were shooting shields/Icewalls while I boosted them.

    Increasing the skillcap on WidowMaker and making McCree less capable at instagibbing tanks seems like good changes to me.

    Good stuff. Players can finally play tanks again without being destroyed by one or two Mccrees and WM can't be bodyshot happy while a good sniper is still a threat. Small steps in the right direction.
    Here was a level 85 Enhancement Shaman. Now there is just an epitaph.
