Blizzard has finally unleashed a competitive mode on the Overwatch community, but since SOME PEOPLE don’t read the patch notes the experience wasn’t very pleasant at first. Blizzard is taking steps to fix that while also taking steps to improve netcode overall. A video detailing Overwatch’s netcode and how it works was released, and provides great insight on what we’ve been experiencing and what we can expect in the furture. We’ll discuss that in this episode as well as recent patch notes, invisible Solider 76, Symmetra turrets on balls, and guilds vs clans.
