Besides the hero changes, there are also some new features on the maps. In Eichenwalde, a new path has been built for attackers, connecting the attackers’ spawn room with the control point. Fights will no longer only take place “under the bridge,” which made many matches monotonous.

In addition, there are numerous bug fixes and small improvements. Each character now has a short description in the hero gallery. Reporting toxic players is now also easier, and violations are clearly illustrated with examples. You can find the complete patch notes in their original English version in our sources.
