Efter lidt mere end en uge på PTRen, så er Ana gået live, og det bliver spændende at se, hvordan hun bliver introduceret, inkorporeret og brugt i det competetive miljø. Der kommer dog til at gå lidt tid, da hun bl.a. er banned fra ESL kvalifikationen, Atlantic Showdown, som udmunder i en 100.000$ turnering ved gamescom.
(1/2) For people asking, Ana is banned from all of the qualifiers for the @PlayOverwatch Atlantic Showdown Qualifiers @ESLOverwatch

Den sidste patch introducerede ikke kun Ana, men også en række ændringer til en række Heroes, og et hero limit på én i competitive play. Du kan læse de samlede ændringer her, men generelt er ultimates blevet sat 10% op, og de største ændringer er:
D.Va
-
Defense Matrix
Cooldown decreased from 10 seconds to 1 second
A new resource meter has been added. This meter will deplete while Defense Matrix is active and then recharge when it’s not in use.
Defense Matrix takes 10 seconds to reach full charge from empty
At a full charge, Defense Matrix will last for 4 seconds
Defense Matrix will now remain active as long as its assigned hotkey is held
Defense Matrix has been reclassified as an alternate fire and is now bound to RMB (by default)
-
Self-Destruct
Ultimate cost decreased by 15%
Explosion delay reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds
Explosion no longer damages D.Va (the player who activates it)
McCree
-
Peacekeeper
Now maintains full damage at longer distances, but will deal less damage at extreme ranges
Zenyatta
- Base shields increased by 50 (now 50 Health/150 Shield)
- Primary fire weapon damage decreased from 45 to 40
- Alternate fire weapon damage increased from 35 to 40
- Orb of Discord and Orb of Harmony
Projectile speed has been increased from 30 to 120 - Transcendence
Movement speed is now doubled upon activation
Healing amount increased from 200 to 300 health per second
6 hours+ of scrims and I can safely say McCree is stronger than pre-nerf widow. The Zen buffs also play a part but man it's strong.

Det ser ud som, at de tanker som Alex ”Jovel5” Stahr havde omkring ændringerne på PTRen er korrekte angående D.Va og McCree.
Copenhagen Flames har også udgivet endnu en video, hvor deres kaptajn, Daniel "Fnif" Andreasen, analyserer deres kamp mod Prets, som er et af de mere solide Overwatch hold i europa.
Hvis du gerne vil se, hvordan Fnif spiller Pharah, eller holdets tilgang til Hollywood, så brug fem minutter på at se videoen.
