Brigitte gets all of her nerfs reverted. Probably would fit Halloween more, but whatever.

For all heroes:

They listen to ALL suggestion posts and implement them.

Then revert back to pre-April Fools build.

“You thought we were going to change your characters to your liking? LoL!”

New option: Playable Payload. You take the role of the payload, but can only move when your teammates are nearby and are stunned when enemies are nearby. Feel the thrill of slowly creeping toward the goal!

Symmetra get’s auto lock on back

Sombra

  • Now actually makes your character unplayable, you can no longer move, you can no longer shoot, and you will be instantly deleted. Her hack also no longer has LoS restrictions and is instantly channeled and unable to be interrupted.

Hammond now ignites any enemy he hits while going full speed.

Enemies ignited will take 6 fire damage per second for 5 seconds.
