PTR Patch Notes?

[DeathKnell-11315]

Hey devs or Blizzard Tracker guys. The PTR has the new Sombra adjustments but no updated patch notes, can we get those please?

[ThiccBuddha-1468]

They are trying to hide more of those stealth nerfs. /s

In all seriousness, I got the impression that the update was a bit rushed and impromptu. I am sure they will update it when they get around to it, unless they already have another wave of changes planned… I suppose.

[DeathKnell-11315]

I just want the new notes in case they made additional changes from the ones announced

Its a work week. its the end of the day. Tomorrow is July 4th.

[DeathKnell-11315]

why would they release an update without any patch notes?

We have another round of Sombra changes coming to the PTR soon as well. This is what is coming:

• Reverting the detection radius from 4 to 2.
• You no longer need to look at the translocator to destroy it, you can now just hit the interact button and it will be destroyed. If you’re standing on a Symmetra teleporter hitting interact will only teleport you to Symmetra’s other teleporter, rather than destroying your translocator.
• Dramatically lowered the enemy sound cue for the translocator location. You need to be nearly standing right on it now to hear it.
• EMP now works on Wrecking Ball Minefield, disabling the mines for 10s
• You can now interrupt reload by hacking.

We’re still evaluating the changes overall, but shes unlikely to regain the ability to contest objectives or have +75% move speed while invisible. The goal of these changes is to make her stronger overall, even if it means being slightly weaker in some areas.

Is this what you are looking for?

[DeathKnell-11315]

no, cuz the ptr changes could still be different from that post

[Akaras-1659]

True, but we might have to settle on this for now.
As far as Sombra goes…

It may be worth considering making the interact button activate the translator and make E create & destroy the translocator. That way the interact button always “teleports” you in both instances while E is always create/destroy.

that would mess with every sombra main alive
