Earthshatter
Now will consistently hit enemies near walls
No longer will hit enemies that enter the damage cone after the “wave” has passed that area
No longer will damage enemies behind barriers blocking it, even if the barrier is later dropped or destroyed
Will always travel up inclines and around the payload
Developer Comments: We’ve given Earthshatter a complete overhaul to combat inconsistencies with its performance. These changes will make Earthshatter’s behavior more predictable and effective.
Didn’t they say Slam and Earthshatter share code? Why didn’t they apply these fixes to Doomfist too? Both abilities have the same bugs.

Oooh it’s on the PTR right now. My bad i thought you meant it was live. well I play console so I don’t get ptr so I’ll have to wait for this next round to go live. but I am looking forward to the improved shatter.
I understand your confusion. There’s a reason why posts like these talking about PTR changes belong on the PTR Feedback subforum and not on General Discussion. But what I don’t understand is even though you talk about reading things before saying stuff, you clearly didn’t read yourself because you originally replied to this topic with a link to the latest PTR patch notes already existing in the replies after somebody specifically asked for it.
it was already explained that I thought those notes were for the patch that just went live and I didn’t expect there to be new stuff on PTR already. Secondly The person I was replying to about reading things was because he didn’t read the posts to the whole thread and see that later on I actually stated what he was attacking me about. Not for reading only part of a single post in the thread.
look at the OP, does it say that stuff about earth shatter is on current PTR or Live? It doesn’t only person who said it was on Ptr was OP and I thought they meant the last ptr that just went live and I didn’t realize there was already stuff on PTR again. Secondly I was commenting on how the person didn’t read the whole thread to see my next post explaining how i thought it was live and not a new thing on ptr already.
