3/8 Patch, Lag Compensation, and Hero Stacking
Two patches in two weeks. Maybe the next one can adjust lag compensation....
It would be just our luck that a patch would drop right after we release a Watchpoint Radio #2, but now we’ve had a bit of time with the changes and we give you our thoughts. Did Blizzard get closer to their goal of making Torb and Bastion easier for new players, but more challenging for experience players? Eh… we don’t think so. Also, Jeff Kaplan had an interview recently and we talk about that. Additionally, hacking has arrived in Overwatch, we discuss the art of pushing, talk about proposed changes to Winston’s bubble, and discuss leaver penalty. That and more on this episode of Watchpoint Radio.
