Overwatch Update 2.34 Released, Read What’s New and Fixed

Overwatch update 2.34 is now available for download. According to the official Overwatch 2.34 changelog, the new update comes with changes for Doomfist, Mei, and Sombra. According to the game developers, increasing Mei’s slow duration helps her freeze targets that are particularly elusive such as Genji or Lúcio. Lowering her alternate fire ammo cost allows her to more safely use it without costing her the ability to freeze enemies. In addition, the new Overwatch version 2.34 also includes various bug fixes and game improvements.
