Overwatch Netcode Update

This video is a new developer update on Overwatch, discussing the new high bandwidth update for the shooter. Lead engineer Tim Ford and senior engineer Philip Orwig are here to fill us in, as it takes two ordinary mortals to sub for Jeff Kaplan, who is presumably off hanging out with Sombra. The pair re-introduce the concept of the netcode update and say it has now rolled out to most servers. They also discuss why the game shipped with a lower update rate, and how the server will still dynamically lower the number of packets sent to connections that can't handle more. They also give a detailed explanation of how these changes impact gameplay, using high-end Pharah paper cup props.

I haven't had that, but I have had issues with him that are similar. Namely Discord and the healing orb. I've gotten to the point where I don't just press E or shift, but hammer them until something happens. No issues like that with any other heroes though. Really odd.
