'Overwatch' updates: New characters available to play; Blizzard Entertainment still fixing penalty bug

Players of "Overwatch" have been waiting for the new characters to be available, who have been widely promoted for months. Now, they can enjoy long hours of gameplay as they choose the characters they want to play.

"Overwatch" now offers various characters for the players to enjoy. Each character may now be tested so players can decide who among them will be their favorite.

However, certain bugs have been experienced seen along the way, including the penalties that players receive.

The players are apparently receiving unjustified Skill Rating penalties when they suddenly disconnect from the game. In one of the Competitive mode's rule, players will be penalized if they leave early in the game.

They may suffer consequences such as losing Skill Points. In fact, they may even get banned.

The penalties should only be applied to those who intentionally quit the game, but players who find themselves accidentally disconnected observed that their Skill Points were also reduced.

This has got a lot of fans complaining about it, which prompted Blizzard to immediately address the issues. Game director Jeff Kaplan addressed the raging players immediately and announced on the game's forum that they are fixing the bugs, which will hopefully be resolved by next week.

However, he did not give further details on the cause of the bug.

The Competitive mode is created for players who want to gauge their skills. It is said to be a more serious mode than the Quick Play and the Brawl which players have to be at least level 25 to access.

Once players reach the required level, they will automatically be matched to other players with the same set of skills. There is also an option which allows players to battle with their group of friends.

The Competitive mode is available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. As for the penalty bug's official patch announcement, Blizzard Entertainment has yet to make one.
