@Kaedi

Most damage-dealing projectile sizes have been increased by a new global modifier added to their base size.

Idk about this change they seem to be trying to make the game easier and more welcoming to new players at the cost of lowering the skill ceiling.

@Kaedi

Self Destruct

• Explosion maximum damage increased from 900 to 1000.
• Inner explosion radius (range for maximum damage before falloff begins) increased from 4 to 6 meters.

I mean, okay, I guess?

@Kaedi

Rocket Punch

• Max impact damage increased from 50 to 75.
• Max wall slam damage increased from 30 to 40.

I know they did this change to make his burst combo more consistent to keep up with the HP changes but I think doom will end up being pretty good this season.

@Kaedi

Rampage

• Wound damage over time increased from 60 to 90.

Hell yeah, as long as it doesn’t get cleansed this ult is going to remain good even with the HP buffs

@Kaedi

Rocket Hammer

• Damage increased from 85 to 100.

Charge

• Wall impact damage increased from 225 to 275.

@Kaedi

Wrecking Ball

Another season of F tier ball, not his season, ig.

@Kaedi

B.O.B.

• B.O.B.’s weapon damage increased from 14 to 17.

I guess this makes up for the ult change a while back too.

@Kaedi

Deadeye

• Initial damage rate increased from 130 to 150.
• Damage rate increased from 260 to 300.

He needed more than this. Another season of F tier cass

@Kaedi

Dragonblade

Swing recovery decreased from 0.9 to 0.7 seconds.

I’m not sure how many extra swings this is, but hopefully it makes up for nano blade losing its break points and normal blade being even worse against the cast now, we’ll see how this goes.

@Kaedi

Frag Launcher

• Base projectile size reduced from 0.25 to 0.2 meters.

You nerfed Junkrat??? He lost his combo with this health buff too. Cass better make room for Junk down there in the gutters.
