On the night of April 11-12, Overwatch's beta servers were shut down in order to deploy a balancing patch of around 1 GB. Let's see what the beast has in store for us.
Cards
The time taken to capture points on the following maps has been increased:
- Point A of Volskaya Industries
- Point B of Volskaya Industries
- Point A de King's Row
Classified games
In order to reduce the waiting time of players classified in Heroic rank, they will be able to evolve with players not being classified in Heroic after a certain time spent in the queue.

The waiting time before you can shoot again after using Grenade Flash (E) has been increased by 0.2 seconds.

A good change for McCree, his grenade being even more dangerous! Chopper receives changes for a better quality of life, and that's no denial!
