Overwatch June 22 update: Crossplay, Parity Adjustment, and more

Overwatch fans had to wait a long time for it, but crossplay is finally here, merging all console and PC users into one player pool at least for Quickplay, as Competitive will only feature cross-console play.

As a result of crossplay implementation, Blizzard has decided to create balance changes dubbed "Parity Adjustments," which were slight tweaks between the PC and console versions of the game to help console players deal with issues mouse and keyboard users could get rid of more effectively.
