Ana Nerf, and BIG potential PTR changes incoming - a roundup and what they could mean! Zenyatta/Sombra buffs too :)
Hero Update
Symmetra
Photon Projector - Range increased from 7m to 15m
Developer Comments: Symmetra wasn’t able to reach mid-ranged foes easily, we hope this increase in range will allow her to help with that.
Hero Update
Reinhardt
Earthshatter - Damage increased from 50 damage per enemy, to 350 damage per enemy
Developer Comments: We felt that Reinhardt wasn't very effective at stopping enemy teams, so we hope this increase in damage will make him a more useful character.
Hero Update
Torbjorn
Armor Packs - Collecting Torbjorn’s armor pack now gives the player a shield similar to Zarya’s that has a health pool of 100.
Developer Comments: We felt Torbjorn wasn’t being played often, and wasn’t helping his team to stay alive when they needed him most. With this new shield, player’s should stay alive much easier.
Hero Update
Symmetra
Teleporter - No longer has limited uses, will always be available until destroyed
Developer Comments: We felt Symmetra had a hard time helping the team stay in the game, so we decided having her Teleporter act similarly to her Shield Generator, in where it will not go away until an enemy has destroyed it, would be helpful.
