As you may have noticed, many of the changes in this new console patch were included in the recent PC update.

Blizzard also announced that they’ve taken action against those using cheat programs in Overwatch. “Cheating will not be tolerated in any form, and we will continue to push for a cheater-free community,” they added. “If you believe that another player is cheating or you have information pertaining to the use of hacks, bots, or unauthorized third-party software in Overwatch, please let us know!”
A new PC update is currently in the Public Test Region, ahead of Competitive Season 2 beginning on September 6. “While many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and therefore will only reflect changes coming specifically to that platform,” Blizzard said.
The biggest changes to Competitive Play in the PTR update include the introduction of skill tiers, the removal of Sudden Death (matches that are tied when the clock runs out will end in a draw), and the skill rating system going to a 1 – 5000 scale. In addition to lots of Hero balancing, the PTR update will also make sit and laugh emotes unlockable for all heroes, and will add Torbjörn as an AI-controlled hero in Practice vs. AI, Play vs. AI, and Custom Game modes. We’ll let you know when this next Overwatch update becomes available on console.
