Blizzard today declared Overwatch has over 10 million players at the same time a new McCree- and Widowmaker-focused patch was released to the game.
“McCree was performing too well against all targets, making him feel like a must-pick in many situations,” the patch’s notes read.
“By reducing the damage of his alternate fire, McCree is now significantly weaker against tanks like Roadhog and Reinhardt, but still maintains his lethality against smaller targets like Tracer and Genji,” they continued.
“In the right hands, Widowmaker can often feel unstoppable—even when just landing body shots instead of critical heads shots,” the notes continued.”The changes to her alternate fire weaken body shot damage while leaving her headshot damage unchanged. Additionally, we felt her Ultimate ability, Infra-Sight, was coming up a little too frequently, especially considering its impact on the game.”
