• Maximum players increased from 7 to 8

Symmetra

• Hero added to pool, though her treatment is not yet complete

Brigitte

• Inspire healing reduced from 12 to 10 per second
• Knockback resist during Rally reduced from 75% to 50%

Mercy

• Ascending Angel duration reduced from 1.45 to 1.25 seconds
• Ascending Angel cooldown reduced from 7.5 to 6 seconds

*Zenyatta

• 25% damage nerf now applies only to Orb of Destruction alternate fire
• Combat ultimate generation bonus reduced from 33% to 10% to compensate

• Added Malevento to map pool

Brigitte

• Reduced Rush Pack duration from 1.5 to 1.25 seconds

Moira

• Reduced Biotic Orb projectile speed from 27 to 24 meters per second (7.425 to 6.6 meters per second while tethered)

Brigitte

• Barrier health reduced from 150 to 140
• Barrier cooldown increased from 5 to 6 seconds
• Barrier recovery rate decreased from 85 to 55 per second
• Whip Shot no longer pulls while Rush Pack is active

Doveloper's Comments: These changes are geared towards making Brigitte less oppressive when rushing down mid-range and long-range enemies, while still leaving her with the upper hand. While small, the change to Brigitte's barrier health puts it at or below many damage thresholds. The number of hits required from Ana's Biotic Rifle, Baptiste's Biotic Launcher, Mercy's Caduceus Blaster, or Zenyatta's Orbs of Destruction have been reduced by one, and the penalty for losing her barrier is more severe. Since Rush Pack is already a powerful tool for closing space, the pulling effect of Whip Shot can be removed to allow more counterplay.

Moira

• Increased self-healing of Biotic Grasp (primary) from 35 to 70 per second
• Decreased maximum Biotic Grasp resource from 63% to 32% (100.8 to 51.2)
• Decreased Biotic Grasp resource recovery rate from 5% to 3%
• Can no longer use Biotic Grasp (primary) while affected by Biotic Grenade's antiheal
• Adjusted ultimate charge gain from Biotic Grasp (primary) healing to match new healing amount and recently-changed ultimate cost

Changes made following playtesting. Normally I would roll over to version 2 with new playtest data but this playtest was unreliable because somehow the 1-hero restriction got turned off.

Baptiste

• Biotic Launcher alternate fire no longer has recoil
• Biotic Launcher alternate fire damage increased from 30/20 to 45/30
• Knockback from Biotic Launcher alternate fire slightly increased

Brigitte

• Hit point distribution reverted from 100 Health/100 Armor to 150 Health/50 Armor
• Rush Pack cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds

Moira

• Biotic Grasp resource now starts at 1/3 full, rather than empty
• Biotic Orb cooldown reverted from 10 to 8 seconds
• Corrected error where Moira could gain ult charge from Biotic Grasp even while her healing was reduced

All heroes

• Changed help interface to include button inputs
• Prompt to check help interface now displays when switching heroes

Mercy

• Can now swap between weapons with primary and secondary fire buttons

Baptiste

• Amplification Matrix now increases damage of alternate fire by 100% when firing through it
• Radius for increased damage from alternate fire increased from 0.5 meters to 1 meter
• Visual effect added for increased damage radius of alternate fire

Zenyatta

• Can now cancel reload or secondary fire with Orb of Discord or Orb of Humility
• Un-disabled Orb of Harmony; while there is no practical difference, this makes it clearer when Zenyatta can or cannot place his orbs

Baptiste

• Corrected error where Biotic Launcher alternate fire may not work properly if Brigitte raises or lowers Barrier Shield after firing
• Corrected error where Biotic Launcher alternate fire's damage would be reduced by armor twice
• Reduced pinpoint damage for Biotic Launcher alternate fire from 40 to 30

Zenyatta

• Corrected error where melee attack would not deal enough damage

Brigitte

• Removed sleep & hack resistance during Rally

Zenyatta

• Corrected error where Zenyatta's temporary shields would ignore incoming damage

Ana

• Health reduced from 225 to 175
• Sleep Dart no longer has area of effect during Nano Boost
• Healing from Biotic Grenade reduced from 100 to 60
• Biotic Grenade now launches Ana backwards.

Doveloper's Comments: In the initial playtest, Ana was a bit too vulnerable when someone closed into melee range. While my original response was to give her a bit of extra health, I decided to instead take a more interesting approach which leans more into her niche as a sniper. This change replaces the flashy-but-impractical area sleep dart with a flashy-but-practical mobility and disengaging tool. I'll keep a close eye on how this affects the ability's counterplay.

Mercy

• Ascending Angel now behaves more like Guardian Angel

Moira

• Moira spawns with her Biotic Grasp gauge empty

A major change to Baptiste, plus some minor tweaks and bug fixes. Special thanks to pluzorminuz for the arcing projectile trajectory calculations.
