Blizz’s official statement on the matter. As you can see. This is closer to the reference client.
This wasn’t to break spy. Nor did it even come close. It’s actually more useful now because you know they are within 50 yards.
Not sure how some are thinking that’s a nerf.
Before it would sometimes populate a list of 10+ names. Most of the time those players were no where to be seen. Like I said. The beep became a background noise that didn’t mean anything.
I turnes spy off because it became annoying and mostly useless. That’s no longer the case. Now when it beeps I’ll know someone is almost within firing range.
Sure doesn’t feel like a nerf. Lol.
