There are some changes I noticed without patch notes… here are some:
Mercy:
Valk is now longer + increased movement speed during Valk
Ult Charge is now faster
Tanks:
Makes more damage than in the last EXC update
Symmetra:
Healing Turrets are now stop healing the person when they are at full health and switching the targets.
I don’t know what they changed more! We could use this as a Megathread with found changes!

Mercy’s res casting is now faster and the LoS range check is slightly increased! This is a neat change! I really like EXC Mercy now! Thanks ml7 + OW Devs <3

They have way too much health/ armor. You must have terrible positioning on live servers.

i agree with AKJ. you cant have tons of damage and survivability at the same time. yea i know tank isnt a popular role and maybe the option is to make tanks superhumans but it wouldnt be good overall for the game in general
Honestly thank God. It felt absurd to be running around with 100 rounds

They must be testing it for 5v5, but with 2 tanks it’s completely broken. Imagine making double shield the biggest issue with the game stronger.

No they are not. This is work of the content creators, not the balance team.

did they nerf cassidy fire rate little bit?
Mercy is still rubbish in the experimental, it only loads the ult faster and that’s it, the valkyrie is still useless when removed from ult.
