Okay, so I have been absent from Overwatch and the forums for a LONG time so I’m going to ask a little favor for some catching up. What’s new around here? Any important balance changes? Information on Overwatch 2? Current Metas? Thanks in advance for the help.
Crossplay. You need to create a battlenet account and link it to your psn. However you should read the informative posts about it because there are a lot of misconceptions I’m not going over.
Region Lock. Basically it puts you on the server closest to you and gets rid of the option to choose your region (which was only done on pc as far as im aware in the battlenet app), so EU players who like to play on NA are pissed. There’s also the possibility of being placed in a region much further from you.
Most recent patch reverts the global ranged hitscan falloff buff back to 30%, soldier ult no longer has falloff, bastion spread in recon from 1.5 to 1.2, Widow falloff starts at 70 instead of 60, dva’s remech does 250 dmg (I think you missed it), but now it’s range is 2.5 from 3 and she now longer receives ult charge for the remech before the bomb goes off.
We no longer have a region selector, so everyone is on a “global server” and you’re put on a server closest to you… unless you have a long queue time then it’ll put you somewhere else to “reduce queue times” so you can no longer play on NA if you’re from EUR etc.
From Aus/NZ and play outside of peak time? Enjoy being put on a server with 150ping lol
