Overwatch’s new patch weakens McCree and Widowmaker

Two of Overwatch‘s strongest characters are a bit less powerful today.

Blizzard released a new patch for its team-based shooter available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The patch brings more balance to the abilities of the pistol-wielding McCree and the sniper, Widowmaker. Updates like these can help games become more fair, which benefits casual and competitive players alike. It also reassures fans that Blizzard is listening to them. That’s important when you already have a large amount of users. Overwatch launched in May, and it quickly earned 7 million players in one week and dominated TV.
