Overwatch Patch 1.45 and anti-cheat measures

No specific date has been given by Blizzard, but one thing is certain: patch note 1.45 will be deployed in February in Overwatch. Here are a few snippets of the fixes that the developers will be releasing soon!

Improved balancing

  • Add more regular balancing updates for heroes with the intention of deliberately modifying the meta.
  • Possibility to cancel changes if they aren't well received.
  • Attempt to respond to player demand for more regular patch notes.

New: Experimental map

  • Presentation of a new experimental map. It will make it possible to present the major modifications that have been made.
  • Add this experimental map to console players.
  • Possibility to level up and win loots boxes in this map.
  • This map is different from the PTR. It's not there to find bugs, but to experiment with hero updates.

Hero Pools

  • Debut in Season 21, on March 7.
  • A rotation rate on hero pool will be monitored.
  • The selection of heroes will be organized by the design team.
  • Hero pool will only be available in rank and not in other quick or arcade games.
  • Aim to change the current meta and to see more diversity of heroes during matches.

Various corrections

  • Put more vigilance on the anti-cheating system. Developers insist on continuing to make reports to help them work on the subject.
  • Updates on the quality of the Workshop.
Overwatch

To sum up, Overwatch developers want to improve and optimize their game in order to make the gaming experience better. The goal is to change the metas to make the game more viable in the future. Console players will also have the opportunity to contribute to the patch design thanks to the next experimental map announced by the devs.

The future of Overwatch is probably in the hands of this update, so don't hesitate to give feedback on the changes Blizzard will make to the game. Also expect to get nerfs and buffs to some heroes, as we've seen with Mei, Reaper, Mercy, and Orisa.
