With so much going on at once, keeping track of who’s winning in Overwatch esports matches can be hard but is very importance when viewing in third-person spectator mode. Until now, the absence of health bars above player avatars meant reading matches could get confusing in that it wasn’t always immediately obvious which team was winning and how players were faring on the battlefield. Newly introduced to the PTR, health bars have now been added for all players.
“I think this is going to help casting quite a bit in some of these bigger fights,” says Doa
