This seems like a small change, but an increase in ammo gives Genji a valuable tool in his arsenal. He\u2019ll have least two more attempts at finishing off an enemy, at three shurikens per throw, before he\u2019s forced to reload. That could mean the difference between taking out a healer or being forced to vacate the fight. <\/p>

Zarya<\/strong><\/h3>

• Particle Cannon\u2019s secondary fire explosion radius increased from two to 2.5 meters. Ammo cost also decreased from 25 to 20. <\/li><\/ul>

  Zarya\u2019s \u201cright click\u201d is now more deadly and less expensive. Players can now fire five \u201cgrenades\u201d with her secondary fire instead of four. As a bonus, each of those will do more damage. <\/p>

  Overall, these hero changes attempt to balance heroes that haven\u2019t seen a high pick rate in the current Overwatch<\/em> competitive meta. As if all the changes in Patch 1.43 weren\u2019t enough for Overwatch<\/em> fans to digest, the 2019 Winter Wonderland also went live today. The event lasts from Dec. 10 to Jan. 2.  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
