Heroes[]

  • Fixed even more bugs that allowed Reaper to Shadow Step to unintended locations on certain maps
  • Fixed a bug that caused Winston's melee attack during Primal Rage to inconsistently hit targets in range
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Zarya's alternate fire to scale incorrectly with her damage boost modifier

Competitive Play[]

  • Fixed a bug that caused the 'Top 500' icon to incorrectly display for certain players in various places throughout the game UI
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused players' Skill Rating to display as '64' during placement matches
  • Fixed an issue where if you left and rejoined an in-progress Competitive Play match, the game would still track the match as a loss in your placement match history and when determining the amount of Skill Rating you receive for completing a match even if your team won
    • Note: You must be present for the conclusion of the match to be eligible for the win. If you leave a match and do not rejoin it again before it's over, it will count as a loss both in your placement match history and when calculating your Skill Rating adjustment.
  • Fixed an issue where you would still receive a Competitive Play 'leave' penalty even if you rejoined a match and completed it
    • Note: If you leave a single Competitive Play match more than 3 times, you will receive a Competitive Play 'leave' penalty even if you complete the match.
