Huge PTR update!

https://twinge.tv/channels/overwatchleague/growth/#/365

This coincides with the PTR release for Doomfist/Wrecking ball in 2017/2018.
It’s definitely going to be hero 31 and maybe some balance changes. Thursday seems like a good day for the reveal.

But we haven’t had any Twitter teasers have we?

Baptiste’s was at 7pm PST on the day his Origin Story came out.

Could be within 2 hours we see something

Its amusing since this took way longer than it should have taken.

This is most likely because theyre gonna do another ptr update that also adds the new hero as well as a bunch of changes

its likely it took so long because of all the languages they are supporting

It seems more like one of those things that was deemed less important for release, so it was put off until later. Building in the expectation that every release you need to update the subtitles earlier on is better than having to have this massive initiative to throw in a whole bunch of work later on. 3 years later on type of work.

However, now that it is in it should be easier to keep up to pace.

Patch notes don’t ususally make that much sense.

Lets be honest, they’re probably buffing Orisa again.
