(Copied the format from Tornado’s earlier post for convenience)
I saw how bad the changes were and decided to see how good I’d do. My goal isn’t really balance as much as it is making abilities broken and unique. Hopefully this works out.
HERO UPDATES
TANKS
D.Va
Defense Matrix
- Size increased by 10%
Boosters
- Duration increased from 2 to 4 seconds
- Speed increased by 25%
Micro Missiles
- Replaced with a new railgun ability, which fires a hitscan projectile that does 150 damage. It has a windup of 3 seconds to fire, and the mech’s speed is decreased by two thirds when charging up. Railgun can penetrate enemies but can be blocked by shields. Enemies hit by the railgun have their vision blurred and movement speed slowed by 20 percent.
General
- Ejecting out of the mech now ejects you at 15 meters per second up, and 10 meters per second in the direction you are holding
- Pilot D.Va quick melee damage increased from 30 to 100

Notes: All I really wanted to do was to create a little nod to one of my favorite shooters. I love Titanfall, OK?

Instead, it tethers a maximum of three surrounding enemies to the radius of 7 meters for 6 seconds, the enemies being the ones closest to the center of the radius. The ability can be triggered the way it was originally. Tethered enemies cannot be booped further than the ability’s radius.

Chain Hook
- Impact damage increased from 30 to 80
- Cooldown reduced from 8 to 6
