PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

New Assault Map: Horizon Lunar Colony

Built as a first step towards humanity’s renewed exploration of space, the Horizon Lunar Colony’s goal was to examine the effects of prolonged extraterrestrial habitation—on human and ape alike. The scientists’ research proved incredibly promising…until, suddenly, all contact and communications with the base were lost.

New Legendary Skins

    Oni Genji and Officer D.Va have been added to classic loot boxes

GENERAL

Custom Games and Game Browser

    Player gravity and projectile gravity can now be modified
    Knockback magnitude can now be modified on any weapons or abilities that have a knockback effect
    Jump height can now be modified

HERO UPDATES

McCree

Deadeye

        Targets now begin locking on after 0.2 seconds, instead of 0.8 seconds
        Damage accumulated over the first 1.0 seconds increased from 20 to 80 (damage per second after the first 1.0 seconds is unchanged)

Developer Comments: McCree’s ultimate can deal a lot of damage if it has a lot of time to build up, but it was often too difficult to get even a small amount of damage out before being stopped or killed. These changes make it more flexible and powerful.

Reaper

The Reaping (Passive)

        Removed health orbs
        Now regains 20% of all damage done to heroes as health

Developer Comments: Reaper’s old healing passive was useful if you could kill a bunch of enemies in a row. But since enemies needed to be dead for it to work, it wasn’t very helpful unless the situation was already in your favor. His new passive lets him get immediate benefit from it, especially when fighting Tank heroes, which tend to be larger targets that deal lower damage.

Roadhog

    Head hitbox size reduced by 20%
    Scrap Gun
        Bullet damage decreased by 33%
        Fire rate increased by 30%
        Clip size increased from 4 to 5

Developer Comments: Roadhog’s head was abnormally large compared to similarly-sized characters, so we’re reducing its size to increase his survivability. The Scrap Gun changes reduce the power of his hook combo and alternate fire burst damage potential while still keeping his DPS roughly the same.

USER INTERFACE UPDATES

    A quick summary of each player’s most-played heroes is now available by highlighting the player in the Groups section of the Social menu (statistics displayed will dynamically change based on the mode/ruleset)
    A new “All Modes” option has been added to the Career Profile that allows players to view combined stats from all game modes
    A new “All Competitive Seasons” option has been added to the Career Profile that allows players to view combined stats from all Completive Play seasons
    The “Damage Done” statistic has been replaced with “Hero Damage Done” in multiple locations
    A new “Barrier Damage Done” statistic has been added to the Statistics section of the Career Profile, as well as an “All Damage Done” statistic, which combines damage done to barriers and heroes
    Averages are now calculated in 10-minute slices, rather than by the number of games played
    “Rate This Match” option no longer appears at the end of a match

Developer Comments: The new “Hero Damage Done” statistic is the same as the old “Damage Done” statistic, but it doesn’t include damage done to barriers, only damage against heroes and placed objects (e.g. Torbjörn’s turret). That number can be found in the new “Barrier Damage Done” or “All Damage Done” statistics. However, since “Hero Damage Done” and “Barrier Damage Done” are brand new, their averages will only be based on time played since they were added.

Also, the old statistics were calculated by taking total damage inflicted and dividing it by the number of games played. This resulted in an average that didn’t accurately reflect the underlying performance, because it didn’t take into account the length of the games. The new averages are calculated in 10-minute slices.
