AI Generated balance changes

General Discussion

I ran balance changes through an AI text generator to see what I get.

Sombra
The minigun is still your only damage source, although the AOE dps has been reduced. Also, the weapon has been moved from the left to the right side of the torso.

Tracer
The missile nova has been changed to a primary source of damage. The projectile speed has been reduced from 355 to 285.

Doomfist
The single jump dodge/dodge-combos have been changed to an aerial double jump and a ground double jump.

Mika
The mini-grenades have been changed to a cooldown based primary source of damage. They are now added to the ground target auto-attack

Widowmaker
The X-4 Stormwing’s dropship speed has been reduced.

Hulk
Big, green-lipped sentinels will now smash through the Doomfist’s shield. The shield tank’s health has been increased significantly.

Symmetra
The turret’s angle has been decreased slightly.

I think these are pretty balanced.

Pharah: Screaming Overkill is now damage over time, not a push effect.

Mercy: The Mercy Graviton Beam no longer impacts Spies when she uses the consumable.

Overwatch Sombra nerfs and fan hate were put to rest, as Blizzard announced the reworked hero into a cosmic bounty hunter, and back into the game entirely. To celebrate her comeback, Blizzard are holding a dance party that will take place tonight.
As seen in a Tweet from Blizzard, the devs are coming to battle it out to some Abba and Thriller.

New hero confirmed??

Screaming Overkill is a cool name for an ability.

Finally, a hog buff we all can enjoy!

Oh, and one last thing: Is it weird that when my brain read “Mika” I was convinced for a moment that Mika was a real character? I imagined her to be D.va, but American and she wears white instead of blue and pink.

Bot definitely thought it was writing TF2 patch notes there.

New Sombra changes. Hack now makes you do less damage

Overwatch Sombra balance changes: Abilities live!

Sombra balance changes: A new balance patch comes

Sombra is due for a change. No longer does she need to 'hack' enemies in order to take them out. In fact, she can now take them out without hacking. This change includes some adjustments to Mercy, Ana and McCree, but not to Soldier: 76 or Roadhog, who continue to take a nerf. What's the difference, you ask? On the surface, it's simple: hacking Sombra will bring her damage down when taking her out with one shot. However, hacking down a healer is a good way to lose a game, so we're going to assume that Sombra now uses her hack to just drag her enemies down with her.

Her ultimate might have received the most noticeable change, however. The ability to charge through entire teams has been changed from an ability to a slower, but very damaging charge. You'll want to test out these abilities before you jump in, as they've been altered to where none of them are what we would classify as good.

Screaming overkill.

I see they’ve played with low ranked Sombras.
