That would actually be up to the community managers. I technically CAN but I will leave it up to them to add or not.

The newest 1.31 PTR has Windows Spatial Audio re-enabled. Please keep the feedback coming on this feature. These reports have been extremely valuable for us.
There’s never been a better time to become an Overwatch agent. If you’re ready to join your friends on the payload, now's your chance.
From November 20–26, we're calling on all prospective agents: assemble your teams and dive in during the Overwatch Free Trial on PC, PlayStation®4, or Xbox One!
For this free trial, we're making the ultimate team-based shooter’s entire content available including the full roster of 29 heroes—including the newly released gunslinger Ashe—and 19 maps available for play in a variety of modes, such as Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade. Players will also be able to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock different customization options for their heroes.
Plus, if you decide to purchase Overwatch aft...
Hey there! So there actually was a small change (though relatively minor) for Soldier: 76 that seems to have gotten left out of the notes. I’ll try to get those updated but people may have left for the day.
Soldier: 76
Developer Comments : The intent of Tactical Visor is to make Soldier: 76 unable to miss during its duration. However, Helix Rockets have travel time, so if they were fired directly at an enemy they would often miss a moving target at further ranges. This change allows players to freely aim Helix Rockets while still auto-aiming his primary fire.
A new Overwatch patch is currently in development and now available for testing. To share your feedback or report and issue, please post in the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums.
Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is...

You’ll just have to wait and see!
Hey there, we have more information about this problem in this thread.
Hey folks, we’ve addressed this issue on live and we’re working to release a patch to fix the problem. Apologies for the hassle, we very much appreciate the info from you that helped us track down the problem.
Closing this thread, further discussion can take place in the live version of this thread which is here.
Hey Naru, feel free to use this workaround until we patch if you’d like. I’m just trying to give words of caution so others who wouldn’t benefit from this don’t add it in!
For everyone else, thanks for helping us verify. This was difficult for us to reproduce internally because it’s a bug as a result of a certain type of hardware which we don’t actively support or test with.
We’re working on a permanent fix for this, we hope to roll it out tomorrow! Further updates will be here if needed. Thanks everyone!
...Hey there as a workaround if someone who is affected by this issue can add an additional command line argument to their Overwatch startup we want to see if this fixes the issue for you.
Note this is an advanced startup line, you’ll want to clear this line after testing. Changing startup options can lead to odd problems.
To set the command line, in the Blizzard Desktop client with Overwatch selected, choose Options > Game Settings. Find the Overwatch entry in the list, click the Additional command line arguments checkbox. In the textbox there add:
--tank_WorkerThreadCount 1
The file is probably too big to attach to the forums or email directly. Any place you can place it so we’re able to download it will work though.
Emailing the link to [email protected] is the best route to get it over to us instead of posting it here.
Thanks!
Hey there, we’re still investigating this issue internally. A dump of the Overwatch client when it’s in this “stuck” state would be helpful for us to do further investigation.
For anyone who has this specific issue and is comfortable with creating a process dump (Task Manager > Right Click Overwatch > Create Dump File) and can upload it to a location where we’re able to download it (drop box, one drive), this would be extremely helpful for us.

Thanks!
Hello there!
Are you using an AMD graphics card? If so, could you make sure your drivers are updated, or if that’s not possible, try setting “Refraction Quality” to “Low” in the graphics settings and see if that resolves the issue for you?
Thanks!

We do have one shield bash change we are playtesting right now, which is likely to hit the next PTR: Shield Bash no longer going through barriers.
This means it is a lot more tricky to land a clutch stun on an enemy Reinhardt, for example, but you can still use the ability to close distance and land melee hits to trigger Inspire.
Hey there, we’re investigating this. As much detail as you’re able to provide (hardware specs, etc) may help us more quickly identify the problem. Thanks for your patience.
