Fans of Mei rejoice, because in Overwatch she is finally once again the queen of the ice beam. A miserable bug has been fixed. We have evaluated the patch notes.
With the last major update of Overwatch, there was not only the new event “Uprising” in Blizzard’s hero shooter, but also some annoying bugs. In the late evening hours, Blizzard yesterday, on 17.04.2017, released a small patch that fixes the most annoying bugs and removes issues with the Uprising game mode.
Especially fans of Mei should be happy, because one of her most annoying bugs has been fixed.
Since the last update, Mei’s primary fire, the Endothermic Beam (“Snow Beam”), and her ultimate have not slowed many hit enemies anymore. This made both abilities essentially useless, as without the built-in slow, it was nearly impossible to freeze enemies and then take them down with a precise shot.
This bug has now been fixed, and once again all hit enemies are first slowed down and then frozen when the beam remains focused on the opponent.
Many Bug Fixes
Additionally, all players now receive the player icon (if they log in during the event) after logging into Overwatch. This is possible until May 1st.
Furthermore, the patch fixes numerous bugs in the “Uprising” game mode. For instance, opponents now always spawn during the “Payload” phase, which could previously be prevented by cleverly positioning the heroes. Additionally, the game mode now tracks the times of Sombra’s hacks, the performance of Ana’s healing, and D.Va’s enemy eliminations.
The majority of other issues are merely cosmetic in nature, such as clippings of capes by the character or incorrectly rendered ice on Pharah’s “Frostbite” skin.
