I love these!

I do like that medpacks can cleanse it but I also believe that they still shouldnā€™t heal the target at all.

Does this mean a target hit by anti will have the effect negated by the amplification?

Or, for example, would a healing instance of 100 only have the target receive 43.75 healing with the amplification and anti-effect existing simultaneously?

I personally would have discluded these entirely from the experimental and buffed recon

My only concern with this is Moiraā€™s 20 meter range. Even with a smaller beam width, from 20 meters away 90 dps is a lot. I donā€™t necessarily think we shouldnā€™t try it since aiming that beam from that distance is a feat of itā€™s own but itā€™s definitely going to have aim elitists triggered that she can deal decent dmg now.

If only the devs were really willing to try anything like this, but it seems that the experimental is more to try out changes that they already planned to bring to live servers anyway.

While youā€™re necroing everything can u also say something here Silverpelt's AntiBarrier Patch

4

Ok so I actually didnā€™t see that one yet. It looked nice ^^

5

Anaā€™s debuff will always be last, so an amplified Bap grenade will heal 25 hp

6

Those junkrat changes happened almost exactly lol. Except the projectile size buff everything else went exactly as you predicted!

7

Oh this was after experimental was revealed and my version was to basically patch out Anaā€™s healing nerf and some Moira changes in favor of something thatā€™s actually affect them lol.

discord is already at 30%

Was made at the time of experimental

10

I love all of these changes and especially Mercys and Anaā€™s but I think making Anaā€™s mag size to 10 would be too much. I would keep it at 14 and do what you said about her nade
