The Overwatch patch which arrived on PTR earlier this month with loads of changes to Mei, Doomfist, and Sombra is now available on all platforms.


Many of the changes in the Overwatch patch were previously outlined before landing on the PTR February 15.

As previously reported, Mei's weapon's freeze duration has been increased; Doomfist's hand cannon recovery rate was increased; and Sombra saw some major changes.

The hero patch notes for today's update are the same as those listed when the Overwatch PTR patch went live. We won't regurgitate those bits, so instead just click on the link above for the full notes.

Alongside the hero changes, map updates and a couple of big fixes were applied. Those changes along with developer commentary are posted below.

Developer Comments: Health packs are a valuable resource in Overwatch and positioning around them is key to holding ground on defense or keeping up momentum on offense. We have moved the location of some health packs and included additional ones to improve game play on Blizzard World.
