Overwatch: Patch 1.12 / 2.14 is released today – Here’s what’s changing for you!

Today is finally the day and a new map as well as numerous changes and bug fixes will be implemented with the new patch 1.12/2.14 in Overwatch .

For about three weeks, the new patch for Overwatch was on the PTR, but this evening (20.06.2017) it should finally go live on the servers. Patch 1.12 for the PC version and patch 2.14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One brings one highlight: the new map Horizon Lunar Colony. Here, players can learn more about Winston’s birthplace and find out what went wrong, leading to the destruction of the lunar colony by the gorillas.

The patch notes for Overwatch patch 1.12 / 2.14

Additionally, there are some changes to the heroes that we want to briefly present to you here.

McCree

• Gunslinger
  • Targets are now aimed at after 0.2 seconds, not after 0.8 seconds.
  • The damage accumulated in the first second increases from 20 to 80.

Reaper

• Enemies no longer leave souls when they are killed.
• Instead, Reaper now receives 20% of the damage dealt to enemy heroes as health points.

  

Roadhog

• The head hitbox has been reduced by 20%.
• Scrap Gun
  • The damage of the bullets has been reduced by 33%.
  • The fire rate has been increased by 30%.
  • The magazine size has been enlarged from 4 to 5.

    

Additionally, there are numerous small bug fixes, such as the issues with Reinhardt, whose animations are often faulty and particularly affected by latency. Many players could hardly use abilities as the effect occurred several seconds late, which made Reinhardt somewhat unplayable.

Additionally, players can no longer rate a match at the end of a game. This feature has been removed as the developers could not derive any benefit from it.

Usually, patches go live in the evening hours. Blizzard has not yet specified a concrete time.
