HERO UPDATES

General

Channeled and transformation ultimate abilities now restore ammunition after completion for some heroes

• Channeled abilities affected: Junkrat’s RIP-Tire, Pharah’s Barrage, Roadhog’s Whole Hog, and Zenyatta’s Transcendence
• Transformation abilities affected: Genji’s Dragonblade, Winston’s Primal Rage

Developer Comments: The change removes the need to immediately reload after a long duration ultimate.

@TomPowers

Doomfist

Rocket Punch

• No longer impacts Symmetra’s teleporter
• Now destroys Symmetra’s sentry turrets without stopping his movement

Developer Comments: These changes are just quality of life improvements for how Doomfist interacts with Symmetra’s placeables.

Hanzo

Lunge

• Cooldown increased from 4 to 5 seconds

Developer Comments: Hanzo’s Lunge ability allows him to be very evasive, the increased cooldown should make him slightly easier to catch.

@TomPowers

Sombra

General

• Reduced the size of Sombra’s head hit volume

Developer Comments: This is mostly a bug fix, as her head hit volume was abnormally large, especially from behind. Previously if you fired at her from behind near her upper spine, you could land a head shot. Now her head volume is much more accurate.

Reinhardt

Barrier Field

• Decorative insignia no longer protrudes from the shield’s surface

Developer Comments: By smoothing out Reinhardt Barrier Field, he will be able to consistently block enemy abilities and projectiles (e.g. Junkrat’s grenades).

Widowmaker

Grappling Hook

• Cooldown increased from 8 seconds to 10 seconds

Developer Comments: The increased cooldown will slightly reduce the frequency that Widowmaker can reposition herself.

Zarya

Energy

• Drain rate reduced from 2 per second to 1.6 per second

Graviton Surge

• Radius reduced from 8 to 6 meters

Developer Comments: With the reduced Energy drain rate, Zarya should be at higher energy on average resulting in more overall damage and quicker ultimate charge times. We’ve also decreased the wide area of Graviton Surge, so players are more able to aid allies without being pulled in as well.

Widow/Hanzo nerf and I don’t see anybody talking about it.
