Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – 25 Marzo 2019

HERO UPDATES

Junkrat

Frag Launcher
    Projectile speed increased from 20 to 25
    Grenades now bounce less but explode sooner

Developer Comments: With this change, we’re looking to slightly increase the range at which Junkrat can land direct hits. The speed of his bombs has increased, but we tuned it so this wouldn’t affect the arc of his projectile. This means that aiming with it will feel the same. The grenades bounce less and explode sooner, which will allow Junkrat to aim them more deliberately. This will reduce the amount of rolling grenade spam when playing against him.

Reaper

Shadow Step
    Can now be used in air
    Time to exit Shadow Step reduced from 1.0 second to 0.5 of a second
    Reaper is now invisible for the entire time it takes to exit shadow step
    Can now teleport onto surfaces that would usually break, like railings

Developer Comments: Shadow Step was originally intended to be purely an out-of-combat mobility tool to traverse the map, since Wraith Form was already a great tool for disengaging. However, this made Shadow Step very situational, so we’re increasing its flexibility to make it a better, less niche ability. This will enable Reaper to use Shadow Step in more offensive situations.

Symmetra

Teleporter
    Railings and other breakable objects no longer block teleporter placement and teleporting
