The streamer began to explain the changes sitting down, but soon realized he had to stand up in order to truly convey his ideas.

“Back in the days, if you were booped, it would go like this,” xQc said, as he showed how players used to be able to control their movement somewhat after being booped.

“Like dude, what the fuck is wrong with this game?” xQc asked as he sat back down to finish his Overwatch match.

The latest Overwatch patch came out on March 19, and there will undoubtedly be a few changes made by Blizzard going forward.
