Well, how about these two “mechanics changes”

Experimental Mode – Hero Balance January 2021

Non-Melee Knockbacks

Reverted to how it was in 2018.

Except for knockbacks delivered from Reinhardt/D.va/Hammond/Winston/Doomfist

Maybe keep Roadhog Ult in the group that keeps their current Knockback, because it’s an Ult. Or not could go either way on this.

Non-Melee Knockback, and Melee-Knockback are already differentiated by Zarya bubbles. Winston can knockback a bubbled Zarya during his Ultimate, but Lucio cannot knockback a bubbled Zarya.

HealthPack temporary SelfHeal Passive

Whenever somebody picks up a Healthpack, they get a passive that is disabled whenever they take or give 1hp worth of damage.

Passive heals them for 10% of the missing Health remaining after getting healed by the

All heroes are healed to full within 10 seconds after picking up any healthpack. (Since Time-Out-Of-Combat is basically what respawns are)

Gives Tanks some of the same self-reliance afforded to 200hp heroes, or 225/250hp heroes that have selfheals.

Largely benefits Winston and D.va and Hammond. Winston and D.va are very popular, but underplayed across all skill tiers.

Rebalance Hammond based off of this.
