And fortify makes her immune to Mauga crit

It’s a cautious balance patch, which is not a surprise. We know they work on a major overhaul

Pretty good patch. Mauga nerfs, Hog nerfs

the sombra bit confuses me… is that a buff or nerf to her stealth?

Mauga/Hog/Ana nerfed, Illari buffed. I’m pretty happy. I don’t really understand Sombra’s notes though. Soj change seems fine with me. Orisa/LW tbd but I don’t really like them on first glance. Things like ‘No longer pierced by piercing projectiles’ and ‘Now immune to taking forced critical hit damage’ seem a bit…odd.

It’s tiny buff
Make it more fluent, a QOL actually

Heheheheh HAHAHAH :smiling_imp:

Orisa’s damage fall-off has been removed entirely. Now she can spam from infinite distance just like in OW1 lets gooooooo

I think it means that Sombra gets in/out of stealth more smoothly? Like if you’re pushing Mr. Bot and you step away because you hear trouble, you only have to wait a second before cloaking instead of one and a half seconds. (A good thing for Sombra.) Don’t hold me to this though.

Oh goody, Orisa snipers. slow clap

I’m not bothered about the fortify stuff, but the deleting of the falloff from her damage is ridiculous, I’ve just been watching it on Jay3’s stream

Illari

Solar Rifle

  • Primary fire charge gain is no longer paused by secondary fire, nor channeling Captive Sun.

Yessssss

Overpowered, underpowered, whatever, I’ve always felt this sucked when playing Illari. I know who I’m going to play when I can get into the game. :sunglasses:

It’s a very minor buff.

  • Grace period where Stealth can be canceled immediately after entering it increased from 0.5 to 0.75 seconds. - Slightly bigger window to cancel stealth while you’re in the middle of going in it, although I never really found this clunky to be honest.

  • Cooldown now pauses at 1 second while capturing or contesting objectives from 1.5 seconds. - Stealth prevents you from going invis if you’re capturing the objective, cooldown starts from 1.5s, they just reduced it to 1s now.

  • Cooldown on respawning decreased from 1.5 to 1 second. - Basically reduced cooldown of Stealth when you respawn

Not gonna lie, I find these poorly worded.
