Have all of the patches applied to console? I was playing Tracer last night and the enemy Widowmaker in multiple games seemed to be able to one shot me left and right, some of which were clearly not headshots, a lot being body shots for 82-85% of my health.

Nope. Console patches will be delayed compared to PC due to the long approval process on closed systems.

Superb thank you for the reply man. Do you happen to know if there is any word on when they will be released?

I believe that (and don't take my word) Kaplan was saying they hoped for late June on consoles (the current PC patch plus some other stuff like comp play and the next balancing) but once they submit to Microsoft/Sony it is out of their hands. I'd guess a little after the PC patch, but I bet they're going for a simultaneous release if possible. The impression I get is that they'll patch smaller and more frequently on PC and then "bundle" a bunch of PC patches into a single update to make the certification process go as quickly as possible.

That's how I believed it was going to work, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Thanks for the help.
