Overwatch patch notes

Hero changes 

Genji 

• Shuriken damage has been reduced from 30 to 28. 
• Secondary Fire recovery has been increased from 0.65 to 0.75.

Developers have stated that recent buffs to Genji made the character more popular in plays, however, the changes made him too strong and hence there are now pulling back on some of those buffs. The change essentially aims to bring down his burst potential.

Moira

• Biotic Grasp attach angle has been reduced by 37%
• Biotic Orb radius has been reduced from 4 meters to 3 meters
• Projectile slow amount (after finding a target) has been increased from -72.5% to -80%

• For a distance between 1 to 3 meters, it will linearly scale down from 150 to 25 damage per second
• The total potential damage that a Biotic Orb can deal remains unchanged at 200 damage total

Fade

• It will phase out all allies who are within the distance of 6 meters, and self for a second post exiting the Fade
