Nuova patch sul PTR di Overwatch: bilanciamenti per Junkrat, Reaper e Symmetra!
Durante le ore della notte tra il 25 ed il 26 Marzo sono stati pubblicati da Blizzard alcuni importanti aggiornamenti sul Reame Pubblico di Prova.
Nel PTR è stata infatti implementata una patch che ha Junkrat, Symmetra e Reaper come indiscussi protagonisti mentre sono ovviamente presenti, ed anche in modo molto numeroso, i vari hotfixes e le correzioni che i devs hanno scelto di presentare con questo nuovo aggiornamento.
Per quanto riguarda invece le modifiche ai tre eroi citati ad inizio articolo, Reaper riceverà un importante modifica allo Shadow Step, abilità originariamente pensata dagli sviluppatori come un qualcosa di utile per muoversi nella mappa ed ora intesa invece più come un qualcosa da utilizzare anche in fase offensiva.
Per quanto riguarda l’abilità vera e propria, potrà essere usata in aria mentre il tempo di uscita dall’abilità è stata ridotta di mezzo secondo.
Per quanto riguarda Junkrat, la velocità dei proiettili del Frag Launcher è stato aumentata da 20 a 25 e le sue granate sono state modificate in modo tale che rimbalzino meno ed esplodano prima…in questo modo Junkrat potrà sparare più granate, andando a ridurre i tempi necessari di un eventuale attacco.
Anche Symmetra ha ricevuto un piccolo intervento in merito al teletrasporto, anche se rientra più tra le correzioni che non tra i bilanciamenti dato che, semplicemente, ora il teletrasporto non viene più bloccato o ostacolato da oggetti o altre cose simili.
Di seguito tutte le note della patch…cosa ne pensate?
Le note della patch
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
