EDIT: It seems the Cvar itself was change to a new variable, and you will need the following command to access the increase in 7.1
/console cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor 2.6
----
On the PTR, the macro to increase zoom distance does not work. I am unsure if this is intended or not, but it's obviously a massive step backwards from the compromise Ion offered in the long series of threads on this issue.
I am already having a great deal of difficulty playing the game as it is. I really hope this change was inadvertent. Furthermore, I'd like the original zoom nerf FULLY reverted as the current limit is already quite restrictive.
EDIT: The max zoom slider has been totally removed from the options menu. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvOU9-xWgAAuht0.jpg:large
Also, here is a comparison between PTR and live with macro applied
