Overwatch 2’s ninth season is underway, and it’s bringing some sweeping adjustments to the hero shooter. On prime of transforming Pharah and giving each hero each a well being buff and a passive heal, Blizzard additionally elevated the projectile measurement of most heroes’ weapons. In layperson’s phrases, they made the bullets greater. This implies it’s simpler to hit photographs than it’s ever been, however is it, maybe, too simple? That’s what members of the neighborhood are saying proper now.
A number of gamers within the Overwatch neighborhood have uploaded movies reacting to the brand new projectile sizes. It’s wild to see how getting what the sport considers a headshot is so trivial now that you simply don’t even must line up your sights together with your foe’s skull. Take a look at this clip from Salty Phish displaying how Ashe’s photographs don’t even graze Soldier: 76’s cheek and are nonetheless thought of a vital hit.
It’s not all dangerous information; as Salty Phish factors out, the well being will increase imply sure one-shot assaults not kill you upon influence, however these projectile sizes nonetheless really feel like a bit a lot.
This clip by Metro made me audibly gasp. Sojourn is ready to unload a full clip of her gun into the air subsequent to Soldier: 76 (Why are all of you utilizing my man as goal observe?), and he feels each bullet as if it handed proper by way of him.
As an individual who performs Overwatch 2 religiously however not competitively, I see how this might be very useful for the extra informal participant who simply needs to push payloads and really feel like they’re contributing, but when I can shoot a number of inches away from a personality’s head and nonetheless have it thought of a vital hit? This appears a bit busted. However stability adjustments like this are often turned as much as an excessive after they’re launched after which wonderful tuned. So hopefully, Blizzard finds the candy spot after participant suggestions. We’ve reached out to Blizzard for touch upon the scenario and can replace the story if we hear again.
