Overwatch Classic Moth Meta patch notes

On Feb. 6, Blizzard put out a hotfix to the Overwatch Classic Moth Meta game mode. The patch featured Mercy. Specifically, it updated her Resurrect ability plus her Guardian Angel ability while she's using her Valkyrie ultimate.

  • Guardian Angel: Now has increased speed and range during Valkyrie.
  • Resurrect: Now has improved cast time.

According to the developers, these updates were made to make the support hero feel more like her original vibe back in 2017.

Overwatch players wants to remove DPS Doomfist

"Additionally, we're planning an update to Doomfist in the mode in the next patch," Blizzard added in the latest patch notes.

Some Overwatch Classic players are not happy about DPS Doomfist. For example, over on Reddit, one player described going against DPS Doomfist as "playing Dead by Daylight." Meanwhile, on X, another player wrote, "Now remove Doomfist and we are talking."

There's even an Overwatch Anonymous account on X where a player shared how they're glad that DPS Doomfist doesn't exist in Overwatch 2.

It's possible that DPS Doomfist connoisseurs might just have until the next patch to enjoy their punching shenanigans. However, only time will tell.
