Did Doomfist actually get a revert?

So… Blizz never reverts.

But… Did Doomfist actually get a technical revert for the shields he gains?

I want to say he was just given a +5 bump in the past (30-> 35). Which now it’s going to go from 35 -> 30.

But I think… Technically, S76 has too. I believe in the past his damage was actually brought down by just 1dmg, and they gave it back.

I think by revert they mean like torb 2.0 back to 1.0 for example

Still technically reverted the shield gain.

Which… I think was a single buff made for DF in a patch maybe a year and a half ago?

Edit: I’m also not sure if it was a meet half way revert like Lucio got though. So I don’t know if DF went from 25 -> 35 (that just seems way too high of a jump though).

They revert some number changes, yes.
Like Soldier bullets back to 20 dmg, Doom shieldgain or Mercy Valk healing.
What Blizzard won’t revert are big things like Storm Arrow back to Scatter or Mercy back to Massrez.

They don’t revert very often but this isn’t the first its has happened and likely will not be the last.

His shield went from 30 to 35 back in patch 1.25.0.1.

Mozts, The GOAT.

Thanks so much.

Minor changes are technically a revert but the implication has always been they mean no reverts as in total hero revert to a previous state in whole.

Mercy’s HPS got a revert too.

So i think we had only 3 full reverted changes being:

  • DF shields
  • Mercy’s HPS
  • Soldier’s dmg per shot

And Overwatch is almost 4 years old.

Mercy HPS was also reverted

Like others have already mentioned, Blizz only does small reverts that usually have no significant impact on the gameplay whatsoever.

But when it comes to huge changes and reworks, they will always say that no major adjustments were ever wrong. Every hero rework so far has been a “major success” for them. So in that department you’ll get no reverts.
