Moderate Balance changes
This code is over 6 months old. The code may have expired and might no longer function.
Just my attempt at balancinng the game.
Balance changes
General Changes
- All ultimate abilities now restore ammo.
New Status: Sturdy
- Allows the hero to survive a hit with one hp left. Immediately ends one the hero reaches that heal value.
Ana
- 25 base health converted to shield health
This change is intended to make Ana less dependent on her co healer when hit with trash damage.
Ashe

Baptiste
Biotic Launcher
- Direct hit healing decreased from 70 to 60 hp
- Splash healing decreased from 50 to 42 hp
Imorality Field

This weakens Bap's healing output and make him less annoying to play against.
Bastion

New Ability: Armor Burst
Bastion can now use 60% of his Self Repair resource to immediately give himself 75 armor. Does not work when in turret or tank forms.
Configuration: Tank
- Knockback increased by 20%
These changed should hopefully encourage Bastion to be more mobile without making his Sentry mode more powerfull.
Brigitte
- Base health increase from 150 to 175 (225 max hp)
Repair Pack
- Healing reduced from 55 to 40 per second (max from 110 to 80)
These changes are intended to increase her survivability while lowering her healing output, hopefully pushing her to enter fights to defend her backline rather than just healing teammates with Repair Packs.
Echo
Sticky Bombs
- Cooldown increased from 6 to 8 seconds
This change is intended to lower the overall power creep in the game.
Genji
- 50 base health converted to shields (150 health 50 Shields.)
Dragonblade
- Now deals 10 damage over time over .9 seconds to targets.
_This change is intended to give Genji a bit more surviability when compared to other flankers. The change to Dragonblade should make his ultimate stronger without it being even better when damage boosted. _
Hanzo
Storm Arrows
- Damage per arrow reduced from 70 to 60.
This change should prevent Hanzo from quickly bursting down tanks too auickly
Lucio
Soundbarrier
- Ultimate cost reduced by 5%

These changes should allow Mei's abilities to buffed while making her less annoying to play against.

This change should give Moira more utility to help her team with rather than only provide healing.
Orisa
Protective Barrier
- Cooldown decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
Fortify
- Now grants Sturdy status for its duration
This change should allow Orisa to be a main tank without requiring a second barrier.

This change should allow Pharah to be more independent from Mercy without increasing the strength of the synergy too much.
Reinhardt
- Health increased from 500 to 575

Roadhog
Scrap Gun
- Max ammo increased from 5 to 6

Symmetra
Photon Projector
- (Energy orb) Max damage increased from 120 to 130
Sentry Turrets
- Travel speed increased from 15 to 20 meters per second
This change to her orbs is intended to balance out the charge tome by allowing her to two shot heroes with 250hp. The change to her turret should allow her to set up faster and be less stagnet.
Winston

- Winston can fire a 20 meter beam that deals 40 damage per second
This change should allow Winston to help his team when not activley diving in the momment.
Wrecking Ball
