Re-Balanced Supports

Ana is by far the most powerful support in the game and usually puts everybody through absolute misery in any match shes in. I increased her cooldown on Sleep Dart so she has to use it wisely more often and has to think more towards whether or not its the right moment in a team fight to use certain abilities. Sleep Dart is still very game changing, and reducing the duration of it should help make it feel better to play against in a 5v5 setting.

Baptiste is the most underrated support, yet one of the very strongest in my opinion. His direct healing output has felt incredibly powerful to go against, so I decided to reduce it slightly and I touched the ammo for his secondary fire because being able to launch 13 healing pods overtuned his total healing potential too much. I also touched the duration of his ultimate because for the amount of power it holds, it lasts too long and can be utilized properly without having to last 10 seconds. Immortality Field is also a VERY strong ability, and putting it on cooldown after respawning should help make some gamemodes more tolerable.

Brigitte is a very strong hero when played right, and I feel like that her ultimate should be proactive instead of reactive, so I gave her changes to improve the fluidity of her gameplay and make her CC less frustrating to face.

Kiriko is generally a fairly strong hero, but Protection Suzu shows up WAY too often than it should. The cooldown being increased should make it more fair to go up against her. Swift Step being on a 7 second cooldown gives her too much survivability, so increasing the cooldown should help reduce her survivability as it can be a little much at times.

Lifeweaver after all his buffs has been a little annoying to go against because of his survivability, I think reducing his health to put him back to 200 HP will bring him more in line with the other supports while keeping the extra survivability that the shields give him. Tree of Life is incredibly powerful, so I reduced the health of it so the tree is more vulnerable towards damage. Alec Dawson also increased the cooldown of Life Grip from 16 to 19 seconds, so I reduced it to 18 because my OCD makes me irritated while looking at that weird number he chose.

Lúcio has recently felt underwhelming, not because he isn't meta, but because of the value of his abilities. I increased Soundwave's knockback distance so players will be able to get more enviormental kills and more value out of it, and I increased his wall riding speed so it feels a bit better to use.

Mercy's strength has certainly became much stronger towards the shift to 5v5. This has caused her to be VERY popular to talk about balance wise as her current kit is just unhealthy, so, I reworked her to hopefully make her mid-fight potential become better and more reliable than just pocketing. Angelic Devotion only needs you to aim your crosshair at a player on your team within your beam range. The ability applies instantly, as you devote yourself as much as you can to keep your teammate alive. I also further buffed Valkyrie to make it more interesting and impactful as an ultimate, as keeping Resurrect in Valkyrie only encourages the original playstyle she had as a main healer whereas she should heal more often in-order to gain her ultimate faster. I didn't want to make Resurrect too too fast as I understand that OW2 has less CC, but she still is able to be punished during it. I returned the Season 3 staff changes for Mercy, but at a more tolerable state so her healing can be more up-to-par as a Main Support.

Moira is in a pretty fine spot, but the whole change where she could use Fade in Coalescence grants her WAY too much survivability that was never needed. Reverting it and giving back her movement speed boost in Coalescence should help make her able to be punished. I also wanted to give Biotic Orb's speed a Quality of Life change as her orb was complained about being too fast back in OW1, so I think reducing it to 18m/s is a nice middle ground between its old speed and its 20m/s speed.
