After gaining multiple Repair Pack charges, Brigitte was enabled to play at safer distances while still having a powerful impact on her team. Combined with her personal barrier, she ended up not needing as much survivability in terms of raw health.
Inspire has also had a powerful team impact despite being hard to feel due to its passive nature, so we are lowering its team-wide healing output while making it more useful for Brigitte herself.
ORISA
The large radius of Orisa’s Halt! ability made it too effective in setting up combos against large groups of enemies on a relatively short cooldown. The changes to the projectile speed and radius are aimed at shifting its use to be more effective at catching single targets.
PHARAH
We’re making some adjustments to Hover Jets that should increase her flight speed and make her more agile. To compensate for this change, we’re also lowering her hover uptime.
Rocket Barrage has such immense damage output that the tail end of the duration was often more of a liability than a benefit, especially with fewer barriers around to blast through.
ROADHOG
These weapon changes are intended to make Roadhog’s Chain Hook combo more consistent and bring back some of the heavyweight feeling it had in the past.
SIGMA
Given Sigma’s offensive strength with Hyperspheres and Accretion, we have reduced some of his defensive tools to bring him more in line with other Tank heroes.
SYMMETRA
We’re reducing the cooldown of the Teleporter to help lower the friction between needing to use it as both a personal and team-focused mobility tool.
ZENYATTA
Zenyatta has low healing and mobility outside of his ultimate but makes up for it with high potential damage output. With the recently lowered barrier uptime resulting in an overall faster pace of the game, we want to make sure Zenyatta still excels at his strengths. This change will make his charged attack flow a bit better in combat.
Ibfir one look forward to double barrier brawl with sigma and rein at the helm along ana as always and Lucio sinc epoeple are terrified when he’s not meta for once
I just don’t understand why Rein is allowed to be the only main tank? I don’t play tank often but when I do I pick sigma or orisa because I’m terrible with Rein, and they were already not that good. I mean, can’t we have one option for those of us who don’t like melee heroes?
Figured this one out when they talked about if they bring back Moira’s experimental mass fade that they’d bring it back without the cleanse effects and…Literally that’s the ability EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A SUPPORT TO HAVE while people had problems with the temp invulnerability.
