Overwatch Experimental Patch Notes Update – May 2020

Blizzard released a new experimental Update for Overwatch. The update mostly targets support characters in attempts to bring each of the characters closer to one another’s viability. Bastion and Junkrat, two people often seen in lower Elus and not in the higher characters, also saw amateurs in an attempt to increase their winning rates across all levels of play.

The new Overwatch Update is no available for all platforms, PS4, Xbox One and PC. We have the full patch notes for this update below.

Overwatch Update 2.78 – Patch Notes 1.42 on November 5
