Junkertown, la nouvelle map de Chacal et Chopper est dispo sur le PTR d'Overwatch

Après avoir mis Fatale à l'honneur en proposant une nouvelle map sortie tout droit de son Lore, c'est maintenant au tour de Chopper et Chacal de disposer d'une map, vous en apprenant plus sur leurs origines. Mais avant de faire un tour dans Junkertown, replongeons-nous ensemble dans la joyeuse folie destructrice de nos deux acolytes hauts en couleurs !

Junkertown, c'est son nom, est disponible depuis cette nuit et ceux qui se sont connectés ce matin on donc pu télécharger le patch de plus de 6Go, implémentant cette nouveauté dans Overwatch sur les PTR du jeu de Blizzard.

De plus, en sus de cette mise à jour, on apprend dans le Patchnote de la mise à jour, que Blizzard en profite pour donner un petit coup d'équilibrage à D.VA et Mercy.

HERO UPDATES D.Va

• Micro Missiles (New Ability)
  • D.Va fires a barrage of small rockets that detonate on impact, dealing damage in a limited radius around each explosion. These can be fired while D.Va is using any other ability or firing her Fusion Cannons
    • [8/29 UPDATE] Damage has been reduced by 25%
• Defense Matrix
  • Defense Matrix's resource meter will now deplete twice as quickly
• Boosters
  • Fusion Cannons can now be fired while flying

Developer Comments: D.Va’s Defense Matrix uptime has proven to be too strong, but simply reducing it without making other changes would make her too weak (and far less interesting to play). Instead, we’re adding a new ability, and giving her the ability to fire while flying. These changes give D.Va a lot of new options while maintaining Defense Matrix’s ability to shut down big enemy attacks.

Mercy

• Resurrect (formerly Mercy’s Ultimate ability)
  • Ability now targets a single player, instead of every player within a radius
  • Radius reduced to 5 meters
  • Ability cooldown is 30 seconds
  • Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrect is active
• Valkyrie (New Ultimate Ability)
  • Valkyrie unleashes the full power of Mercy’s Valkyrie Suit, enhancing her weapons and abilities for 20 seconds:
    • Caduceus Staff: Mercy’s healing and damage boost beams now affect all allies near the targeted teammate, and the staff’s effective range has been extended
    • Caduceus Blaster: Granted infinite ammo, while simultaneously increasing damage and fire rate
      • [8/29 UPDATE] No longer gains an increased fire rate or damage boost
    • Guardian Angel: Increased range and movement speed
    • Resurrect: Cooldown is instantly reset when Valkyrie is activated and reduced to 10s after the initial cast
    • Hover: Mercy gains the ability to fly freely, at increased movement speed
      • [8/29 UPDATE] Flight speed decreased to 9 (formerly 11)
    • Regeneration (Passive): No longer interrupted when Mercy takes damage

Developer Comments: While resurrecting downed allies is a core part of Mercy’s gameplay, the way her Ultimate functioned was causing a number of problems. It was frustrating to play against, and it incentivized Mercy players to hide away from important battles, instead of taking part in them. This version turns Resurrect into a single target ability. It’s still an important part of Mercy’s kit, but plays much better for both Mercy players and her enemies. Valkyrie, her new Ultimate, gives her the opportunity to make big game-making plays and opens a number of new options for her.

Il ne vous reste plus qu'à vous rendre sur les PTR pour tester tout ça, si vous n'êtes pas trop occupés avec Destiny 2 évidemment !
