Movement speed penalty while firing reduced from 50 percent to 30 percentĭeveloper Comments: As a defensive tank, Orisa can have trouble pushing forward with the team.Heal over time duration increased from three to four secondsĭeveloper Comments: These minor changes make Moira's passive healing effect on Biotic Grasp slightly more effective when topping off an ally's health.Making the pillars on Mei's Ice Wall easier to destroy means less waiting for the wall to disappear on its own and more opportunities to counter it. Primary fire damage increased from 2.25 to 2.75 (45 to 55 damage per second)ĭeveloper Comments: Increasing the damage of Mei's primary fire should make her Freeze and Icicle move combination more potent.It will not impact how dangerous this is for heroes under 600 health. Increasing Deadeye's damage after being locked on for a bit makes it more effective when attacking high health, static targets (like barriers) and heroes with over 600 health.

Instead of having small or large knockbacks that depend on chance, knockbacks will feel similar regardless of the enemy's movement leading up to the knockback. Heroes that are flying can now be knocked back and slowedĭeveloper Comments: Knockbacks are now less affected by how the enemy was moving when they were hit.Knockback distance is now more consistent.This means the damage-dealing hero doesn't need to be boosted when the projectile hits an enemy for the damage boost to be accounted for. Now, damage is applied to the projectile as it is fired. Damage boost is now applied when a projectile is fired rather than when it hits a targetĭeveloper Comments: Previously, the effects of damage boosting were only accounted for if the damage-dealing hero was being boosted as they landed a hit.Now it will be more consistent and predictable. Damage over time effects are no longer mitigated by armorĭeveloper Comments: The damage taken by armor from damage over time effects, such as Widowmaker's Venom Mine, and beam weapons, like Symmetra's Photon Projector, varied greatly.Beam-type damage is now reduced by 20 percent when hitting armor.Here's a list of all the changes and updates currently being tested in the PTR: With the new hero now available in the PTR, Overwatch players can also test out some other adjustments Blizzard has made to other heroes and the overall gameplay. ⚕️ /pJM4M3hMfy- Overwatch February 26, 2019 Get your first aid on Baptiste's abilities and playstyle.
