Blizzard has deployed a new Overwatch update on the test server (PTR). Many adjustments revolve around the new hero Baptiste, which is only a few days on the PTR available.
When the update with Baptiste will come to the Live Server, is currently unknown. Now the complete PTR patch notes.
Overwatch: PTR Patch Notes
HERO UPDATES
Baptiste
- Biotic Launcher
- Can now be stopped from automatically reloading by switching the Automatic Reload option to OFF. This option defaults to ON
- Immortality Field
- Made significant changes to its visual appearance and sounds
Junkrat
- Frag Launcher
- Impact damage changed from 60 to 50
- RIP-Tire
- Cost increased by 10%
Developer Comments: Since the recent increase of Frag Launcher’s damage output, Junkrat has been building his ultimate too quickly. We’re increasing the cost of his ultimate to balance this change with his increased damage-dealing capabilities.
Zarya
- Particle Cannon
- Alternative Fire’s explosion radius changed to 2 meters, regardless of energy level
