When is Ashe playable? That has been the question on the minds of Overwatch players ever since the new Hero of Ashe was revealed at Blizzcon 2018. While Ashe has been playable on the PTR server for Overwatch, the community of Blizzard Entertainment's first person shooter title have been curious as to when they would have the ability to play as Hero 29 on the game's live servers. However, their question has now finally been answered, as Ashe has become playable on the live servers of Overwatch on Tuesday, November 13th thanks to the major update that was implemented today.

The update that took place today for Overwatch will now allow players to battle against their opponents with all of the unique and powerful abilities and weapons the leader of the Deadlock Gang has at her disposal. From her Viper rifle to her robot butler B.O.B. coming down to support the new character as a 7th teammate with her ultimate ability, the Overwatch community will have plenty of time now to see how Ashe fits in the current meta of Overwatch with her now being playable in the update that took place on Tuesday.
With Hero 29 being a hitscan character, DPS players will likely be the most excited to see what kind of damage they can deal to their opponents with the new hero now a playable character for them to choose for matches with the update that took place today.
In addition to making Ashe playable on the liver servers, the major update for today also saw significant changes be made to Mercy, Symmetra, Roadhog and Reaper while also having updates for the game's user interface and maps.
