Not a leak, itâs on blizzardâs press centre:

The most interesting thing is it looks like pigpen is gone. Hogâs back.

Iâm deeply upset White Hat was cut. Playstyle changing perks are where its at, they shouldnât be dropped in favor of more boring perks.
Honestly, I donât think I like the system Blizzard is going for. Itâs one thing to add or change perks on an as need basis but it seems theyâre going for a forced refresh every so often just for the sake of change.

Echo is going to be insanely op 
. It will be fun to fully max out beam. Imagine 20m beam range with speed boost on top of getting flight reset with elims! I actually think the sticky perk is better still but the other perk is fun for a more aggressive playstyle.

LWâs Lifecycle perk got removed
NOooooo please donât : (
Itâs such a nice perk to have since it greatly increases his survivability and uptime (less downtime = more active and fun gameplay ). Canât they just remove the cleansing grasp perk and add Lifecycle back in? Cleansing grasp is not that good anyways, while Lifecycle feels wonderful to have and fits his herofantasy and theme very well. Pleaaaase.

They actually just nerfed lifeweaver big! I donât think heâs going to be good anymoreâŚ
Like seriously what were they thinking?! And why do they continue to put this trash perk of cleansing grasp. Iâm not picking it!

Wow I didnât even notice it didnât think itâd be possible to make a perk so bad that Iâll actually probably take the cleanse

Donât. Itâs terrible. Itâs too situational to be useful. Only decent against Ana and Sombra but if they switch your left with a useless perk.
Youâre better off picking the other one.

Iâm pretty mad about Junoâs perk changes. Unless theyâre adding crit capabilities to her base kit, this is a major downgrade for her fun factor from my perspective.
I donât have aggressively strong opinions on the others, but I read through most of the roster and these kinda seem lukewarm at best.
Next time they do major changes, they should reconsider the 2 perk per tier limitation; in terms of button mappings, it should be very easy to go up to 4 per tier.

They moved both of Hazardâs majors to minors and put a minor to a major? Weird

Symmetra has her shield back as a major perk, it replaces a use of her teleporter though.

Removing heavy rockets from Dva is criminal
We already know from stadium that 75% spread reduction makes it very difficult to aim.
It also mentions nothing of falloff increase so it might just be bad

Removed Hogâs best perk, kept the perk nobody ever chooses (2 ammo) and still didnât give him anything to help with Ana who gets buffs (of course).
And he was already the worst tank with the most and strongest counters. Nice.

Glad they did away with healing hack, such a troll perk to pick.

Sombraâs minor perks are the same. One useful one and one useless one.
At least she has a new major perk that is actually useful. Teammates can stop throwing by picking White Hat.
Hog isnât liked by the majority of the community at all levels. Itâs not surprising he got cruddy perks.

Thank god Hogâs playpen is G O N E. It literally was a no skill ability that you just had to throw down and hook = INSTAKILL ALMOST EVERYTHING besides Tanks. Why they removed Junks one shot but give hog and hanzo thereâs is odd.

Decent Doomfist perk change but itâs still completely âmehâ compared to power matrix. Only perks that would be on par with power matrix would be uppercut on cooldown with the reload button or something else OR empowered punch is omnidirectional. Kind of like that experimental event they did a while ago back when he was DPS. Here is what Iâm talking about. On the timebae you can see timestamps describing the punch in the highlight. All falling under âomnidirectionalâ. But maybe nerf it a bit so you canât steer midpunch

Iâm curious what âInspires Healing is instant when activated by Shield Bashâ means. Surely it doesnât just burst heal the full duration, right?

Harder to aim, but rewarded with better damage on smaller targets or if you aim at their head without needing to be point blank
Stadium is a much crazier environment with people moving much faster more often and itâs third person by default which makes aiming precisely more difficult. I think that perk would be much better in the normal game.

That would be insane healing output, so yeah I hope itâs got some kinda catch
