As usual, we will have another PTR patch for Overwatch coming soon. However, there will be some major differences between this patch and the other PTR cycles. Let’s see some details of this Overwatch PTR patch!

Overwatch PTR patch coming soon: What we know

Another PTR patch is what the gamer base of Overwatch already expected. However, in an announcement recently, Geoff Goodman, the chief designer, has mentioned that this PTR patch will be a bit different than the others in the past. Traditionally, PTR patches are used to flesh out new aspects to the public. This time though, the PTR patch will be more experimental.

Basically, this time around there will be significant changes to the heroes. That may affect gameplay a lot. What’s more, the changes are going to stay for longer. However, Goodman also assured gamers that the changes are not permanent, and if they are deemed unsuitable, they will be removed. Not every change in this PTR patch will remain in the next PTR cycle. So, gamers, there is no need to worry too much. The statement is truly intersting, and we have to wait for what Riot has in store for us.

With this information, many are expecting the debut of the long-awaited Sombra, who has been in the news as of late to be a new hero. It would be great if she could join the roster right in this patch. On the other hand, there is some bad news: there will not be any changes to Symmetra. Even though she a hot topic of discussion, Riot has deemed that changes to the hero would require too much effort, and will change many aspects of the game. So, don’t expect anything new for Symmetra, or you will be disappointed!

Overwatch PTR patch: Still worth looking out for

Regardless of Symmetra, the Overwatch PTR patch this time promises significant changes. So, there should still be plenty to look out for. Are you anticipating the changes in this patch?
