Arcade Updates
Halloween Masquerade
- If a player's mask is not equipped by any other play, they can now swap heroes in Halloween Masquerade.
Stadium Updates
Tank
Sigma
Sigma’s recent buffs gave him a bit too much cosmic dominance, allowing him to stay in the air too long while dealing heavy burst damage. We’re dialing back Trinisphere and Zero Gravity slightly to keep his power in check while preserving the fun of his gravity-focused playstyle.
- Trinisphere Decreased damage to 50% (Down from 75%).
- Zero Gravity Decreased damage reduction to 10% (Down from 15%).
Support
Juno
Juno’s kit has been seeing high versatility, but a few powers weren’t keeping up with the pace of current matches. These updates give her stronger offensive and defensive options with more punch from range, faster follow-ups, and sturdier healing.
- Rally Ring Increased cooldown reduction to 1.5s (Up from 1s).
- Hyper Healer Increased overhealth to 85 (Up from 75).
- Gravitational Push Increased attack speed to 35% (Up from 20%).
- Long Range Blaster Increased weapon power to 20% (Up from 15%).
Zenyatta
Zenyatta’s Soul Control was letting players store too much ultimate energy, giving him access to Transcendence more often than intended. This adjustment lowers the cap slightly to keep his ultimate pacing in line with other supports while maintaining his calm, centered power curve.
- Soul Control Decreased maximum ultimate charge to 65% (Down from 75%).
Armory
General Items
Many gadgets have been difficult to purchase when compared to similar General Items with passive effects. We're decreasing the cooldowns on most of these effects so you can use them more often, and buffing the effects and costs of some of the weaker options. We'll continue to keep a close eye on further adjustments to ensure that each Gadget has a meaningful niche amongst our current Armory offerings.
