Efter uppvisandet av den nya kartan under Gamescom 2016, publicerade Blizzard en detaljerat blogg på Battle.net som visar alla förändringar för nästa patch som testas just nu Public Test Region (PTR). Det är ganska omfattande förändringar vi ser, du kan läsa alla detaljer nedan:
Genji
- Double jump no longer resets when wall climbing
- Dash
No longer deals damage to traps like Widowmaker's Venom Mine or Junkrat's Steel Trap
No longer bypasses Junkrat's Steel Trap
- Swift Strike
No longer interrupts quick melee attacks
- Dragonblade
Duration of Genji's ultimate has been reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds
Utvecklarnas kommentar: Genji was a little too difficult to pin down, and these changes will balance his speed. Swift Strike no longer cancels the recovery time from a quick melee attack, so players will no longer be able to get a free melee attack before using Swift Strike. Lastly, Dragonblade's duration was long enough that it often felt too difficult to reasonably counter.
Zenyatta
- Orb of Discord
The amount of damage amplified by a target with Orb of Discord has been decreased from 50% to 30%
- Orb of Destruction
Damage has been increased from 40 to 46
Utvecklarnas kommentar: Zenyatta is in a far better place since the last update, but the strength of Orb of Discord has turned him into an almost mandatory pick. These changes reduce Orb of Discord's effectiveness, but his damage-dealing potential has been increased. The amount of damage that he delivers should feel largely unaffected by the change.
Andra ändringar inkluderar:
- Ultimates that consume the ultimate meter when activated will now drain the meter more quickly (.25 second instead of 1 second)
- Mei's Blizzard projectile now pierces barriers, and its radius has been increased from 8 meters to 10 meters
- Mercy's healing-per-second has been increased by 20%
- Watchpoint: Gibraltar's first checkpoint has been removed
