Blizzard has released a new Overwatch patch on its public test realm, introducing a new escort map, and some nerfs for Tracer, Brigitte, and Junkrat alongside general fixes.
The new map, Rialto, is based in Italy. Here’s how Blizzard describes it:
Rialto was home to Talon agent Antonio Bartalotti?s sprawling estate and the backdrop to the infamous ?Venice Incident,? a turning point for Overwatch and Talon. The Italian government has taken great steps to preserve Venice, and the results are striking. Tourists visiting this picturesque town can sample the regional cuisine, enjoy a relaxing gondola ride, visit Galleria D?arte Omnica, or simply take in the sights with a stroll along the canal.
As for hero updates, tank mains will be pleased to note that Tracer’s pulse bomb damage has been decreased from 400 to 300. Blizzard acknowledged that it was a little too easy for the character to take down tanks, who are already easy to target due to their size. Brigitte’s Shield Bash cone angle has been reduced from 90 to 60 after complaints from players who noted that they were hit despite being out of range.
