There was an error in this podcast that incorrectly stipulated that Orisa no longer provides damage reduction when using Fortify. It seemed that it was a temporary bug in a PTR build and was fixed (not removed) when it went lived. We apologize for the misinformation.

You know what they say: The world could always use more heroes! On The Payload, your hosts John, Rosh, and Jimmy will look at all things Overwatch: News, Esports, gameplay, and more. Join the crew every Thursday for the live stream, or download our audio episodes Fridays!

This week on The Payload:

• The Blizzard Gear Store is having a Spring sale!
• Orisa is live in competitive mode.
• John & Rosh update us on “the experiment.”
• The Overwatch World Cup 2017 has been announced.
• The crew discusses the Carbon Series grand finals.
