McCree and Zarya can have extra luck pinning down targets with the most recent Overwatch PTR hero replace.

In addition to Overtwatch’s Doomfist PTR changes that gave him some fancy new skins and gadgets, he’s had some tweaks together with a handful of different heroes.
While Doomfist’s Rocket Punch has been tamed slightly, McCree’s Flashbang and Zarya’s Graviton Surge have had come a lot wanted buffs, with Flashbang slowing targets “significantly”, and Graviton Surge disabling all motion skills of the affected targets, much like Junkrat’s traps.
Following Jeff Kaplan’s feedback about rebalancing Roadhog last week, it’s probably we’ll see modifications being applied for the tank quickly, however they didn’t make it to this replace.

Previously this was solely indicated by the default crosshair filling in, however that is solely seen when utilizing the default crosshair. The new indicator ought to at all times be seen, no matter any crosshair modifications. Also, focusing on this capability whereas within the air is now restricted to places decrease than your present peak.
McCree
- Flashbang
- Now slows targets considerably when they’re surprised. This makes them much less prone to slide away round a nook or one thing comparable as soon as they’re surprised.
Reaper
- Shadow Step
- VO and SFX distance dramatically decreased.
Reinhardt
- Hammer
- Swing velocity elevated by ~10%. On prime of the swing velocity enhance, we’ve gone by and tweaked many timings and different issues concerning the Hammer to make it extra responsive. Overall it ought to really feel so much higher to swing and make contact with enemies.
- Charge
- Impacting one other charging hero (Doomfist or Reinhardt) not offers injury to each characters, however nonetheless causes a knockdown on each.
Zarya
- Graviton Surge
- Now disables all motion skills of have an effect on targets. This is much like how Junkrat’s lure impacts skills.
