Bugs and Overwatch 2 are virtually synonymous at this level, on the current January 2023 stability patch has bugged out two characters. Junker Queen was the true winner of the January 2023 patch, with buffs supposed to slingshot her into viability. However what probably wasn’t on Overwatch 2 and Blizzard’s radar was a probably game-breaking bug which may permit Junker Queen to make use of her Carnage infinitely with out cooldowns. In the meantime, these screaming for a Kiriko nerf shall be completely happy to see this newest bug that impacts her Swift Step capacity.
Junker Queen’s Carnage is a big sweeping axe assault that offers an excellent quantity of harm. This capacity obtained an enormous buff this patch, decreasing its cooldown by 2 seconds everytime you get a takedown with Carnage. This cooldown discount works per enemy defeated, that means you may probably haven’t any cooldowns in any respect. Sadly, this buff went on a bit of too sturdy, and Junker Queen can farm cooldown discount off of destructible objects.
Limitless carnage
This consists of balcony railings, staircase railings, and even Mei’s Ice Wall. That’s proper, pair up a sensible Ice Wall with Mei, and Junker Queen will be capable to slay with out stopping. The precise sensible use of that is questionable, however it’s not completely out of the query {that a} combat would possibly happen close to an space with tons of issues to destroy. Nonetheless, extra arguably impactful is Kiriko’s Swift Step bug.
Kiriko’s Swift Step is her mobility device, permitting her to teleport to an ally. Throughout this teleport, Kiriko is cleansed of all unfavorable results, together with any anti-heals or damage-over-time results resembling Ashe’s Dynamite. This was a good way to get again to security and keep away from dying for Kiriko. Nonetheless, this bug makes it so Kiriko now not cleanses herself whereas teleporting. It is a far more impactful bug and an enormous nerf to Kiriko’s survivability.
Hopefully, Overwatch 2 can type out the Junker Queen bug and Kiriko bug quickly. Till then, you may take part in Overwatch 2‘s Battle for Olympus occasion, which includes a new free-for-all recreation mode and different collectibles you may earn all through the occasion.
