News Updates:

  • From a stream at Blizzard HQ, LA Gladiators Surefour talking with some devs on stream indicate they are working on pushing some changes to the PTR for the following heroes:

  • DOOMFIST - Video timestamp

    • Reverted the internal change to Rocket Punch distance (when canceled with a jump). They tried reducing the extra distance by 40%, but it felt bad during internal testing.

    • Seismic Slam range reduced from 20 to 15 meters (max damage from 85 to 65).

    • Enemies affected by Rising Uppercut only lose air control of their character for 0.6 seconds (essentially just during the ‘knocked up’ portion)

  • BASTION - Video timestamp

    • Bastion’s Recon clip size increased from 25 to 35.

    • Bastion’s Sentry minigun gets a ‘reverse-spread’ effect: the longer he shoots, the more precise his shots become. This was specifically described as a change that “may or may not make it.”

  • MCCREE - Video timestamp

    • Fan the Hammer damage increased by 10 damage per shot.
