Blizzard released a quick patch today just minutes before the July Alienware Monthly. The patch buffed the new support hero Ana exactly one week after release. She now has an increased rate of fire and larger magazine which is expected to increase her healing and damage output. The patch also includes a few McCree changes including a nerf in range, however, he now has a faster alternate rate of fire. Last but not least the patch fixes some cosmetic UI bugs.
