Watchover
Welcome to Watchover - An April Fools gamemode inspired by Javofo's April Fools gamemode
Here's the link to the Google Doc where you get info on what the heroes do and other stuff:
Things to note:
-> All hero changes can also be viewed within the game itself in the top left corner
-> I am a below average coder and this is my first gamemode being released, so expect some bugs
-> Control has been disabled because of some bugs that occur when switching rounds. Apologies to all Control lovers
-> It is recommended to play this with 10 players as this is a 5v5 gamemode
-> Alot of additional abilities are bounded to your interact key, beware of this when taking Sym's Teleporter or Cat's Lifeline
Update Notes:
-> If you do not want to open the link to the doc, then here are the official notes
-> I used the word "Resistance" as a substitute for "Damage reduction" in the patch notes
