Massive Reworks (6v6)
General Changes
Developer Comment: 6v6 is more fun and creates more interesting team synergy. Antarctic peninsula is a map no one likes. Toxicity is an essential part of FPS games, so we automated it! Keeping ult charge between rounds helps increase the amount of ults per game - I personally struggled to get 2 ults per round in shorter rounds, and 5 were a struggle in longer rounds.
-
Game reverted to 6v6
-
Automatically emotes after an ultimate gets 1 or more kills
-
Now carries between rounds
Hero Changes
Ultimate costs are increased to make them feel more valuable - this discourages 1k and 2k ults and counterswapping.
-
Build up 25% slower
-
Role passive no longer gives knockback resistance
Ana
Ana is more fun when she does more damage, therefore she has been less fun since the release of season 9 as she lost the ability to 3 tap people, this ability was returned against 225 heroes and she lost 25 hp as a compensating nerf. Also as there are now 2 tanks getting slept for 5 seconds is less impactful to their team, allowing the duration to be reverted.
-
Damage and healing increased from 70 to 80
-
Tank sleep duration increased from 3.5 seconds to 5 seconds
-
Damage and healing increased from 90 to 100
Ashe
Developer Comment: Ashe's main downside is her long reload, however, by regaining ammo on every kill this allows people who hit consistent headshots to reload significantly less often. Bob, being a significant part of Ashe's kit, is exempt from the 25% ultimate charge cost increase.
-
Gains 1 ammo on kill
-
Ultimate charge rate increased by 25%
Baptiste
This is just a goofy change.
-
No longer has Gravity

-
Removed
Brigitte
Developer Comments: Ultimates gaining value in this mode makes it extra important that CC cannot cancel ultimates, and I tried to ensure we didn't end up with another Brigitte stunbash so this is a good middleground.
-

Cassidy - maybe getting redone
Cassidy is just a numbers character, it's hard to give him an interesting, meaningful rework

Illari
Developer Comment: Illari deals extremely high damage, however, she only has a 1.5x headshot multiplier, making headshots deal less than if they had the full 2x, the damage over time amounts to a 2x headshot multiplier.
-
• Critical hits now start a burn effect dealing 5.5% of the damage dealt per second for 6 seconds, however, if another headshot is hit it will detonate the DOT causing all the not yet dealt damage to happen in one instance

Junkrat
Developer Comment: Junkrat is an 'explosive-obsessed junker' but doesn't carry a landmine? And he doesn't have explosives on his fist? A likely story.
-
Now explodes for 100 damage in a 5m radius around the trap
-
Sends all people in the aoe up at a speed of 10m/s
-
Makes melees explode doing an extra 40 damage in a 3m radius and booping Junkrat and all victims away from eachother
-
Junkrat meleeing a wall also has the effect on himself
Kiriko
Developer Comment: Kiriko has, since release, been a jack of all trades, master of none all, she has the best mobility in the game, on a short cooldown, lots of healing, a small hitbox, lots of damage and a cooldown with: Burst healing, intangibility AND cleanse. In this mode, Kiriko is closer to a jack of all trades, master of none.

Lifeweaver

-
Maximum burst heal decreased from 80 to 70
-
Charge time decreased from 1.15 seconds to 1 second
-
Starts a healing over time effect which heals for 10% of the healing dealt in the burst per second for 5 seconds

Damage increased from 18 to 20
-
Knockback increased by 11%
-

-

Mei
Developer Comment: Mei not freezing players doesn't feel right, so I readded it in a less oppressive way.
-
Hitting 3 headshots on one target freezes them for 0.75 seconds.
Mercy
Developer Comment: Damage boost makes characters like Pharah hit breakpoints such as killing people in just 2 shots, and just pocketing 1 person doesn't feel angelic, which Mercy is meant to be.
-
Gravity decreased by 10%
-
Secondary fire removed
-
Primary fire healing increased from 50hps to 75 hps
-
Primary fire healing increased from 75 to 125 when the person being healed is below half health
-

-
Removed
Orisa
Developer Comment: She's a horse, she WILL get ridden into battle and WILL get more horse-like attributes. Being serious, these changes force more intelligent usage of your abilities as it forces her to slow down whenever she uses one and it makes it easier for her to be left without any cooldowns up.
-
Time taken to overheat increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds
-
Cooldown increased from 6 seconds to 8 seconds
-
No longer prevents forced critical hits e.g Mauga's Incendiary Chaingun

If Orisa moves for 3 seconds without stopping, she breaks into a gallop making her move at a speed of 11m/s, this is instantly stopped when she uses an ability and when she stops moving
-
While galloping her jump height is doubled
-
Her teammates can ride her by looking at her and pressing interact (This is a workshop setting that is by default disabled as it is extremely buggy)

Reaper
Developer Comment: Reaper does a bad job at flanking the enemy team, and has recently lost his niche as a tankbusting-flanker hybrid, I personally found him to be most fun and powerful during pickable passives where upon a kill he gained 30% movespeed, I added that to him in this mode.
-

Lifesteal decreased by 90%

Reinhardt
Developer Comment: Reinhardt has been relatively strong in the past few seasons, however I think he is far too one dimensional, so this mode aims to make him more engaging to play, and causes him to be significantly more powerful when doing so.

-
Movement speed increased from 11m/s to 13.2m/s
-

-
Grants 25% lifesteal
Roadhog
Developer Comment: Roadhog is far too tanky as the game currently stands as he can sit there using Tab and go unpunished unless the enemy team CCs or antis him, causing Ana to be nearly essential when going against him. Also he's a fatass, why isn't he slower and more effected by gravity than other heroes?
-
Maximum health decreased from 600 to 450
-
Maximum armour increased from 0 to 100

Sombra

Torbjörn - Unchanged
Tracer
Developer Comment: Tracer has been an extremely powerful character since release however she takes skill to be powerful, I have lowered her health pool and have reduced her cooldowns to increase the skill ceiling. She has been given vertical mobility to help her nuke Widowmakers.
-
Maximum health decreased from 175 to 125
-
Cooldown decreased from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds
-
Can be used to teleport upwards by double jumping
-
Warning - The above feature is very buggy
-
Cooldown decreased from 12 seconds to 10 seconds
Venture
Developer Comment: Ever since their release, it has infuriated me that Venture had a drill and yet they couldn't go through walls with it. So we fixed that.
-
Can now go through walls

-

-
Maximum armour decreased from 250 to 200
Hammond

-
Can only be used in ball form
-
Sends Hammond flying in the direction he is facing
-
6 second cooldown
-
Instantly fireballs in grapple
-
Mines last forever
Zarya
Developer Comment: Zarya needed to be balanced for 6v6, but I prefer the versitility of her 2 abilties sharing charges over them having individual cooldowns. The cooldown reduction is to compensate for the lost charge from having less bubble health. Zarya now gains 19.4 bubble health per second on average, but in the regular game, Zarya gains 20.45 bubble health per second on average.
