January 30th 2018. Overwatch Patch Notes - Obituary for a Moth

[Shuruia 3,145 / 28,028]

I shall revive this section in celebration of this very special day.

 

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

 

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Pre-purchase Goodies

When you pre-purchase a Digital Deluxe version of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth you’ll receive several Warcraft-themed goodies in Overwatch. Show your faction pride on the battlefields of tomorrow with emotes for Tracer; Horde- and Alliance-themed voice lines for Torbjörn; Anduin, Jaina, Sylvanas, and Saurfang sprays; and Kul Tiras and Zandalar player icons.

 

HERO UPDATES

 

Junkrat

Concussion Mine
Now will deal less damage to targets farther away from the explosion’s center

 

Developer Comments: Junkrat has been enjoying the flexibility his double-charge Concussion Mine provides, but it has become a bit too easy to throw out huge bursts of damage in a large area. With this change he can still dish out similar damage but he must now be more accurate with his tosses.

 

Mercy

Valkyrie
No longer makes Resurrect instant
No longer grants a bonus Resurrect charge
The speed bonus Guardian Angel receives when activating Valkyrie has been decreased by 50%
Duration reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds

 

Developer Comments: Mercy’s recent Resurrect changes have helped in allowing enemies to have more counter play in dealing with her, but she was able to use Resurrect through Valkyrie enough to largely mitigate the impact of the previous changes. Additionally, we’re toning back the amount of mobility Valkyrie provides through Guardian Angel and reducing its duration to overall reduce the power of this ability.

 

BUG FIXES
Heroes

Fixed a bug that prevented D.Va’s face and hair textures from loading when her Black Cat skin was equipped

This was no mistake. This was an attempt to infect my thread with a particularly aggressive form of disease that has been plaguing these forums.

 

It's working.

@Shuruia, is the title supposed to say Obituary for a moth or is it supposed to say Obituary for a month?? 

 

Nevermind, I just found out that it is correct how Shuruia said it.
