Competitive

  • Many players were ranked too low during the first week of Overwatch 2, so we are implementing a boost as players continue to play games for those affected by this issue.
  • Players who were ranked too low could have the feeling of being stuck in this rank. Moving forward, players should be able to climb the ranks in their first rank update assuming they’re supposed to be higher based on their performance.
  • Players who haven’t ranked will not experience this issue after this patch.

Maps

  • Numbani and Necropolis have been added back to their map pools

Heroes

Zenyatta

  • No longer receives extra attack speed from Kiriko’s ultimate

Kiriko

  • Resolved an issue where ‘Yokai’ achievement was unattainable
  • Fixed a bug with Swift Step that could result in the player being placed under the terrain in some cases

Workshop

  • Fixed an issue where Workshop Green Screen would load Workshop Island instead
  • Fixed a bug where Night Workshop maps were loading daytime variants

Ah, yes let’s nerf Zen interaction with a hero he probably won’t really ever be played with, but they couldn’t think of any other heroes they needed to adjust?

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Edit: Okay the patch notes on Zen are very confusing, apparently it was bugged before and way too fast.

He still gets the attack speed boost from Kitsune Rush.

What why did they nerf zen only? He was so cool using that ult.

10

Not gonna lie… I’m not very impressed. No gameplay tweaks? Not even one? Doesn’t even sound like they fixed any of the major bugs people were complaining about like certain heroes being locked and/or wonky hitreg.

thank God that didn’t happen.

Um…? Why nerf Zen specifically? Was this bugged and he had like, quadruple ROF instead of only double?

(Oh, it was in reference to him being able to whole hog people while in the arches…)

14

wow, they nerf zen with kiriko ult. that’s sad.

15

They didn’t fix Mei’s wall bug? She is completely useless without a working wall.
What even is this…
