If you've been grinding ranked in Overwatch Season 2 and feeling like the meta is getting a little stale, good news - a mid-season update is locked and loaded and nearly ready to deploy. According to Destructoid, the patch is coming in hot and you won't have to wait much longer before new content hits your client.
Mid-season updates are basically Blizzard's way of saying "hey, don't you dare uninstall" halfway through a season, and honestly? It works every time. Think of it as a bonus loot drop to keep players engaged between major seasonal resets.
What's actually coming?
While the full patch notes are still loading in, Destructoid reports that Season 2 has already been delivering solid content, and the mid-season update is set to build on that momentum with even more goodies for players to sink their teeth into. Consider this your respawn point if you've been slacking on your playtime.
The exact timing matters if you're the type of player who wants to be first in the lobby the moment new content goes live - which, let's be honest, most of us are. Nobody wants to be the last one in the party who doesn't know what just changed.
Should you care?
If you've been enjoying Season 2 so far, this is basically free extra content before the next seasonal overhaul. If you've been on the fence about jumping back in, a mid-season patch is usually a solid excuse to dust off your account and queue up again - just don't blame us when you fall back into the ranked addiction.
