October 24 Overwatch patch fixes Ashe’s “broken” Warlock skin

Blizzard Entertainment

A new Overwatch patch dropped on October 24 providing access to a series of new Warcraft-themed rewards and a much-needed fix to Ashe’s Warlock skin. 

When Ashe’s Halloween Terror skin was revealed, the Overwatch community was impressed with its detail – not just with the female outlaw, but her Omnic butler B.O.B too. 

However, despite the skin’s design being well-received, many complained that the crosshair when aiming down sights was too obtrusive and made it difficult for players to see what they were aiming at.
