All map changes coming in Overwatch 2 Season 13 explored

Clash map changes coming in Overwatch 2 Season 13

• Capture time on the final objective points A and E now increases for Attackers as segments get secured consecutively from 1x /1x / 1x to 0.7x /1.1x /1.4x, to make the first segment easier to capture for attackers but consecutive ones harder.
• Defenders now respawn instantly as the first segment and second segment get secured instead of when the previous objective points B or D get captured.
• Unlock time for final objective points A and E has been increased from 25 seconds to 27.5 seconds.
• Decay rate on final objective points A and E has been doubled for attackers to not lose their progress as quickly when stepping off the point.
• Capture time for defenders on objective points B and D has been increased by 10% to give attackers more opportunities to attack the point.

Developer Comments: We want to reduce the number of one-sided stomps occurring in the Clash game mode. We also want to address the difficulty of securing at least one segment on the final objective points as attackers. So, we tweaked the capture time for the defending team to make the fight for objective points B and D a bit more favorable for attackers.
