Head to your computer right now. Don’t dilly dally (or even shilly shally)! Overwatch ‘s PC version has received a very important update. We can now use Pharah’s mom, Ana! It’s like Christmas in July! Blizzard just dropped the combat sniper on us without any notice, which is the best sort of surprise. She just showed up as part of the Overwatch July 19 PC patch.
Have you used Ana yet? After her announcement, Blizzard made her available in Overwatch ‘s Public Test Realm on PCs. She was very well received. She has a Biotic Rifle that can deal 80 damage to enemies or heal 75 health of allies with its darts. You can use her Sleep Darts to deal five damage and put an enemy to sleep for five seconds too. Her Biotic Grenade is probably her most impressive average ability, as it deals 60 damage to all enemies and heals 100 health of all allies within its three meter radius. That grenade also keeps enemies from being healed for five seconds. When you use her Nano Boost Ultimate Ability, she’ll have eight seconds to provide speed, attack, and defense boosts to allies she hits with her biotic Rifle or Biotic Grenade.
Of course, her inclusion is only the biggest part of the July 19 Overwatch patch. This update also alters Competitive Play so that only one of each hero can be on each team. Overtime has been adjusted, with longer respawn time and faster fuses. Bastion, D.Va, Lucio, McCree, Mercy, Roadhog, Soldier: 76, and Zenyatta have been rebalanced. There have also been some UI and general bug fixes applied. In general, Blizzard continues to try and make Overwatch the best game it can be.
But really, Ana is the best part of this Overwatch patch. Go try that sniper out!
