_Developer Comments: Zenyatta’s alternate fire often felt too difficult to use due to its long recovery time. This reduction should make it a more viable option. Also, his weapon has always had a very small amount of spread. This wasn’t enough to change the way he was played, but it would occasionally cause shots to miss that would normally hit their target. Removing this small variance should help him feel more consistent. _ ** BUG FIXES ** Gen
He’s also relatively silent most of the time, which means that the actor playing him needs to be immediately established as a true threat based on their physicality alone. That quality is what makes veteran actor Vinnie Jones the clear pick, even if Jones would need to work in some prosthetics in order to achieve Roadhog’s signature physique. If Jones can make the Juggernaut (mostly) work, he can sure make Roadhog a thr
Damage decreased from 80 to 60
_Developer Comments: Ana’s kit has several strong components, which makes her difficult to replace. Reducing her damage output will make her less threatening on attack and reduce her dueling capabilities. _ Bas

D.Va is certainly the most meta member of the Overwatch roster. As a professional StarCraft player turned mech pilot warrior, she’s essentially the ultimate anime hero. At only 19 years old, D.Va – a.k.a. Hana Song – still treats the act of battle like a video fps Game Skins. Her calls of "nerf this" and "gg" almost break the game’s fourth wall and make D.VA one of the most compelling characters in the g
Genji is the aforementioned brother of Hanzo. Whereas his big bro prefers to take his targets out from a distance, Genji holds to the way of the ninja, which afford him a bit of variety in terms of assassination methods. His already incredible skills were further increased by the cybernetic implants Genji had to have installed following his brother’s failed attempt to kill him. He’s the ultimate warrior on the outside, and a tortured soul wit
Some players will get tired of constantly shooting at the environment, but Splatoon offers enough versatility to keep most players interested. The ability to shoot paint and then swim through that paint is smooth and extremely satisfying. With several classes and online modes available, players have many optional playstyles to choose from and compete agai

The Half-Life games are known for revolutionizing the first-person shooter genre and Half-Life 2: Episode Two is no exception. With multiple weapons in your inventory, the game packs a lot of action into its relatively short campaign. You’ll encounter traditional classes of human enemies as well as bizarre aliens that are as much frightening as they are challenging. If you’re looking for a small but thrilling shooter, Episode Two offers a cheap and thoroughly enjoyable experie
As we love free speech and artistic expression on the internet, this could be seen as a classic case of a big company flexing its mighty legal muscles, but to be fair to Blizzard, it isn't as clear cut as that. Many innocent searches for "overwatch" led to adult-oriented material instead of game information. That's not great for something rated "T for Teen". Some fans saw this as censorship and worried about the precedent it set, but the controversy died down before it escalated into anything bigger. In the end, only a specific subset of content featuring in-game models ripped from the original code was taken down due to copyright infringem
No longer protects allies from knockback
_Developer Comments: This is actually reverting a change that we made a few patches ago, which made players immune to knockbacks if they were hit by an effect from inside her barrier. This had some negative side effects, such as making targets immune to knockbacks from effects that pierce barriers, like Reinhardt’s charge and Winston’s Primal Rage punches. Now, these will cause knockback again. This does not affect knockbacks from effects that originate from outside her barriers, such as Pharah’s Concussive Blast. Those will still be blocked by the barriers, not causing any knockback. _ Zeny
Due to the Slipstream accident, Tracer is constantly in a state of flux. Her molecules were desynchronized and led to her suffering "chronal disassociation". Tracer recounts that after her first reappearance, she would fade out for hours and even days before returning to the present. To make matters worse, when she was in the correct time, she was incorporeal, unable to touch or interact with anything. Thankfully, Winston invented the chronal accelerator, and Tracer became an effective member of the Overwatch task fo
