Defense Matrix is hardly used in Zombies. I made it give a movement slow to match its "survivability" use, allowing D.va to slow zombies down while she waits for boosters to come back up or comefortably hit zombies with micromissiles if she decides to be aggressive

I find myself mostly using cage just to reload ammo. Not being able to escape, makes the ultimate more "Im trapped in here with you " than "Youre trapped in here with me". The extra overhealth should make it more of the latter. I tried making it give infinite ammo, but workshop is bugged and I cant change Mauga's ammo values.

Unless it's swam shootout, Ram's barrier last too short to be used effectively even for things like blocking mercy or pharah projectiles, or aoe attacks. I orignally though of making it function like the barrier perk, but I don't like make abilities too similar. I decided to make it knock zombies into the air, which gives it its protective barrier properties, hindering zombie movement, and allowing you to line up shots.

Rein shield is rarely used like all other barriers. If I made it knock zombies back, it would be pointless in solo if it doesnt push back far enough, and since I cannot change barrier health, it would be too strong if it knocked zombies too far back. I instead made it more like a "counter", where zombies are knocked down long enough to safely attack, while having a risk of infection.

barrier was situational, and grasp was rarely used and provided little value, making sigma feel like a dps that has a stun more than a tank. I made it not completely block zombies while stationary as it would be too similar to the barrier perk, and I cant drain barrier health as a resource, I instead made it slow zombies so that repositioning yourself and the barrier is required. I found the pushback during barrier positioning was a bit strong, so I made it drain hp so that there is risk for pushing zombies all the way back. I made kinetic grasp a movement tool, so that kinetic grasp can be used for survival again, and I wanted to give Sigma a movement tool as other "poke" heroes had them as well.

as yknow, barrier situational. I initially made It give all overhealth instantaneously, but it seemed too strong when testing on solo. So I made instead gradually give overhealth over time, so you have to be inside bubble. I found winston's damage output kinda too low, especially squishies are less abundant. I originally gave Winstion a simple damage bonus, but it seemed too strong. Instead, I made alt fire apply a debuff that increases primary fire dps instead. This makes it so he's stronger against bigger zombies but still havr the same strength for basics, since stacking the debuff requires time and ammo consumption. I didn't change his alt fire damage since I wanted Winstion to still feel like a dive tank instead of sniping from long range.

flashbang

blades lasting longer should make it feel better to use

barrier situational. so I turned into shield generator. might do something different if i figure out how to track the barrier position.

I made widowmaker headshots during ult explode to make it more interesting, like tf2 mvm.

Brigitte's low damage and short range means its really difficult for her to really do anything, so the overhealth can allow her to be more aggressive.
