Yesterday, Overwatch’s public test server got an update that added new spectator options and tweaked the balance of Ana, Widowmaker, and Junkrat in ways that may or may not make it into the regular game. But that’s not all.




Overwatch players have spent the past 24 hours digging up heaps of new voice lines for the game’s characters, some of which seem to correspond to new levels (read: Eichenwalde) and legendary skins, while others hint at possible ability changes. And of course, some are just in for flavor.
