Ramattra's Tactical Shift
Ramattra is receiving a significant adjustment in his Nemesis form. His Pummel attack will no longer pierce barriers but will deal 2.5 times the damage to them. This change encourages players to strategize whether to focus on breaking barriers or targeting individual enemies, enhancing the tactical depth of engagements involving Ramattra.
Mauga's Buff and Support Changes
Mauga's Incendiary Chaingun will see an increase in ignite damage duration, lasting four seconds. This adjustment aims to improve his effectiveness against smaller targets without making him overpowering against other Tanks. Additionally, Support hero Juno will experience a reduction in her healing potential, requiring players to engage more closely with allies for effective healing.
Sojourn and Sombra Reworks
Sojourn's Railgun and Disruptor Shot are being adjusted to reward skillful play. The Railgun's energy will deteriorate slower, and the Disruptor Shot's damage per second will increase to 80, generating energy for the Railgun with damage dealt. Meanwhile, Sombra's Stealth ability will now activate upon using Translocator, remaining active for only five seconds. This change aims to enhance her lethality while requiring more strategic use of her abilities.
