The latest set of Overwatch 2 patch notes has arrived, and you’d be crazy to miss them. That’s right, it’s April Fool’s Day, the officially sanctioned silly season, if you will, and Blizzard has introduced its usual new multiplayer balance patch to get into the spirit of the joke. However, the beast they created is so much fun that players are already demanding that parts of it remain after the event ends. winton? winton!
In addition to the usual creepy looks on all heroes (and payloads), Overwatch 2’s April Fool’s Day update gives each hero impressive new voice lines, as well as a host of ridiculous balance changes to find in the game. special arcade mode. Blizzard says that game director Aaron Keller “says that he may know Pachimari and they told him to do this patch. He just plays new arcade modes, so he won’t notice otherwise.”
Hearing Hanzo yell, “Who’s a good dragon?” or just muttering “Omnomnomnonmon” when he fires his Dragon Strike drives me crazy every time, as does Moira’s Dragon Ball Z-inspired “Kamehameha” scream when he unleashes his ult. Cassidy now calls random sync, Echo claims she’s better than you at the hero he’s copying, and Ramattra recounts his suffering in detail while his ultimate is in effect. Meanwhile, Winston simply says “Winston.” A lot.
“These voice lines are VERY good to throw away after the April Fool’s prank is over,” reads the popular Overwatch Reddit thread. “I would say it would make sense and create a lot of fun moments if all heroes had a 1% chance to say these builds” in the more casual Quick Play and Arcade modes. Personally, I completely agree.
Regarding the new game mode, we recommend that you switch heroes while maintaining a maximum charge of 50% when switching. Players that deal damage are healed on the KO score, while supports gain 30% bonus movement speed when low on health (although Blizzard quips, “Please don’t use that offensively”). Tanks gain their ultimates faster, but gain an ultimate charge on death – they’re essentially raid bosses, after all!
The characters themselves are full of silly changes. Reinhardt’s Dash now allows her to fly in the sky, Sigma’s Accretion Stone causes enemies it hits to float helplessly in the air for a few seconds, Ruin Ball mines creep very slowly towards enemies, and Mei’s wall of ice cream is now a huge trap. Symmetra’s turrets will shoot enemies out of the air, Baptiste can bounce endlessly like she’s on a jumper, and Battle Mercy is a queen with a very powerful blaster.
Perhaps best of all, Genji occasionally regenerates health when calling for a heal, which ultimately makes all that voice spam worth something. Perhaps the only downside is that Ash’s dynamite, which now spreads fire among enemies, seems a bit too effective at the moment, making her a dominating force on the battlefield that almost has to be picked.
However, this mode is fun to play and people have a lot of fun with it. My favorite so far has been playing as Bap, who keeps jumping around and raining down health and bullets from above. These ridiculous patch notes may be a joke, but they certainly brought the process to life as we await the release of the new season.
The party chat is also full of people having fun and always nice to see. While we can’t hold on to these new changes for long, they do reflect a spirit of cleanliness that I think most games can benefit from. We hope Blizzard finds more ways to carry this common spirit forward as we get closer to Overwatch 2 Season 4.
