Overwatch fans on Xbox One X have just received a lovely bit of news that should brighten their day, since Blizzard has added 4K support for the console, as announced by Xbox's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb on Twitter, and the patch also brings some goodies for fans of World of Warcraft to celebrate Battle for Azeroth if you pre-order the new expansion, including emotes for Tracer, voice lines for Torbjörn, sprays, and icons.
Nerfing Mercy is the highlight of the update though, as her special ability Valkyrie is now less effective after the patch. She can no longer resurrect other players immediately and duration has been reduced by 5 seconds, among other changes that you'll find in the patch notes. What's more is that Junkrat's Concussion Mine is the other ability nerfed with the update, so big changes are inbound.
Do you like the changes made to Mercy?
