Fortify

- Prevents critical heshot dam while effect is active
Developer Comments: This will make Fortify more reliable at preventing large bursts of incoming dam and should help it feel more consistent as a defensive ability.

Reaper
Hellfire Shotguns

- Spre has been reduced from 8 to 6
- Dam per projectile has been reduced from 7 to 6
Developer Comments: Reaper’s shotguns have a high dam potential but require a close range or large targets to fully utilize. We are w experimenting with smoothing this out by extending range at which he can consistently deal dam while lowering maximum dam of each shot.
Winston
General
- Base Armor/ Health has been redistributed from 100/400 to 150/350
Developer Comments: With this change, Winston will be slightly more resilient against shotguns, beams, and weapons with a high rate of fire.
Wrecking Ball
Grappling Claw
- Kckback strength has been reduced by 25%
Developer Comments: For how often it can occur, Wrecking Ball’s kckback is potentially too strong. developers are reducing distance it moves enemy players to bring it more in line with or low cooldown kckback abilities.
Developers have also deployed a small retail patch recently which can be view below.
Bounty Hunter
- Bounty targets will lose ir target status if y take too long to get a kill
