New Overwatch Patch Brings A Heaping Helping of Stun, Crowd Control Nerfs



Blizzard giveth and taketh away. Overwatch sees a number of new changes these days thanks to the Experimental Card and a recent rededication to communication and developer updates from Jeff Kaplan himself. These radical changes continue as the newest Overwatch patch makes drastic changes to the power of stun and crowd control abilities. These stun nerfs are meant as a way to put players back into control more frequently, or as Kaplan said in a recent developer update video, ?having control of your character taken from you isn?t fun.?
While stun and crowd control may not be very fun the mechanics do serve a vital purpose in the metagame. Major changes to the likes of Mei?s freeze attack and Ana?s sleep dart bolsters the power of dive compositions and characters like Doomfist and Wrecking Ball while also making it harder to play any support that can?t defend themselves.
