Overwatch shotguns pellet patterns have always been random, but in other games such as Apex Legends. Weapon and even the Shotguns have different recoil or pellet patterns.
So does this update make Heroes in Overwatch that have shotguns with different shotgun pellet spread patterns or are they somewhat similar?
I have yet to test the patterns and I am the type of player who wouldn’t remember what the old pattern was/is (well, you can test that live vs experimental later but I’m too lazy for that lol)

Each shotgun hero had a specific pattern already. Each pattern is unique, but they’re all very similar. This patch removed a feature that would cause the pattern to rotate randomly each shot.

It’s a lesson that TF2 learned like 12 years ago. There was an svar that turned off random pellet spread for shotguns, so every shot was a 3x3 grid.
It was weird to look at, but you absolutely knew how much of your shot was going to land based on your crosshair position. It’s much, much more consistent and you can’t get randomly dumpstered by the game as a shotgun user.
