These changes are intended to shift Orisa’s power between her abilities. The increase to her weapon’s projectile speed should make her more relable at longer ranges. The additional damage on her Javelin should increase its leathality but still allow for some time for the enemy to react. The changes to her Javelin Spin should make blocking more reliable while also allowing her to use it for mobility without being punished for it. The nerf to her total health, Foritfy’s duration and overhealth, and movement speed while firing should give enemies more opportunities to fight back.
