The Overwatch team is constantly working to improve the game that over 25 million gamers are playing. Changes to the various characters’ damage, health, and abilities are always happening to balance the game to make it enjoyable for casual and competitive players worldwide. With each change, Blizzard releases an update within the PTR to give the changes to the players to see how the changes work before rolling out an official game patch.
