Doesn’t seem to work in practice range.

Am I crazy or do some of these patchnotes seem better balanced than the actual balance patches?

Is this live in comp too, or?

Wait, the Mercy ones… Sound kinda good?

Make Damage Boost a buff ability that replaces Rez, and Rez becomes a small aoe ult with up to 3 possible rezzes with a slightly shorter cast?

Must try these in game. I’ll be back.

Its an arcade mode

We are currently aware of an issue that these balance changes are only reflected in a game mode that appears in the arcade. So we’re gonna call it “Balanced Overwatch” for now.

It happens every single April Fools. They are better at balance when they are not trying to cater to random parties.

Egh, some heroes got really lame changes while others got giga buffed to hell and back. LW gets his platform going higher, while other heroes get a complete rework. Lame as always.

Anyone know what Widowmakers gimmick is? Please tell me it’s that her full charged shot can go threw walls.

Some of these changes are really fun and could be balanced with some tweaking.
