Increasing Overrun's cooldown lengthens the window where Mauga must commit to a fight before he can disengage, reducing his mobility without directly impacting his ability to engage. ■ Overrun - Cooldown increased from 5 to 6 seconds. (5v5)

Concussive Blast provides Pharah with both mobility and displacement. Increasing its cooldown reduces how often she can reposition herself and disrupt enemy movement. ■ Concussive Blast - Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.

This change better aligns the impact radius with the size of the motorbike, requiring players to either be more accurate with the ground launch or rely on the air launch. ■ Joyride - Ground launch detection radius reduced from 1.5 to 1 meter.

While Tracer's damage has landed in an effective spot following recent adjustments, reducing Recall's cooldown allows her to disengage more frequently. ■ Recall - Cooldown reduced from 13 to 12 seconds.

Reducing Soaring Slice's cooldown on respawn reduces downtime after respawning while maintaining the reduced ability to quickly return to the fight. ■ Soaring Slice - Cooldown on spawn reduced from 7 to 3 seconds.

These changes are aimed at reducing the effectiveness of Ability Power Purr builds while empowering her Weapon Power oriented options.

This change reduces the minimum lock-on time for nearby targets, allowing Pulsar Torpedoes to be used more reactively while creating a clearer distinction in lock-on times across different ranges. ■ Pulsar Torpedoes - Target lock on minimum time reduced from 0.5 to 0.35 seconds.

These changes give Life Gripped players greater control over whether they are pulled all the way to Lifeweaver's position. The pull now begins more gradually, creating a larger window to react and cancel the movement if desired. A new hero setting has also been added for players who prefer to disable the cancel option entirely. ■ Life Grip - Can now be manually cancelled with the Jump input after 0.6 seconds. - Base pull speed reduced from 30 to 25 meters per second. - Targets pulled from further than 15 meters move slower and accelerate over time. - New general hero setting added for disabling Life Grip cancel controls.

Mizuki's mobility uptime has increased significantly following recent changes to Katashiro Return's duration and cooldown. While the increased duration has improved its usability, the cooldown is being partially reverted to reduce overall uptime. Binding Chain's projectile size is also being reduced to make its powerful hinder effect require more precise aim. ■ Binding Chain - Projectile size reduced from 0.35 to 0.3. ■ Katashiro Return - Cooldown increased from 11 to 12 seconds.

These changes are aimed at strengthening the options Wuyang has to sustain himself and increasing his underperforming powers.

These changes are aimed at adding some more build variety to D.Va's powers, making some of her weaker builds more transformative and exciting while tuning down some of her more generically powerful options.

Zarya has become more prevalent especially at higher levels and in coordinated play. We're trimming the efficiency of her most outlier option and will continue to keep an eye on her.

This change is aimed at reducing the effectiveness of Tracer's Recall oriented Pulse Bomb build. We'll be continuing to keep an eye on this build, particularly on Temportal, for future changes to increase its counterplay.

These changes are intended to make Jetpack Cat's movement more responsive while keeping Lifeline movement speeds similar to before. Frenetic Flight movement speeds remain unchanged. ■ Lifeline - Movement speed bonus reduced from 40% to 30%.

(상세 변경사항 없음)

Increasing Guardian Wave's width makes it easier to position the ability to affect multiple allies and enemies. ■ Guardian Wave - Maximum degrees increased from 10 to 15 degrees.
