Baptiste is getting some tweaks to his kit, according to Overwatch<\/em> game director Jeff Kaplan.<\/p>
He shared on Reddit that Blizzard was actively making an effort to balance Baptiste\u2019s Immortality Field, and that the changes are already being playtested. <\/p>
\u201cWe’re trying out some changes to immortality field to make it less oppressive,\u201d he said<\/a> on a thread discussing the Immortality Field\u2019s cooldown. \u201cI missed the playtest today so I’ll ask the crew how it went.\u201d<\/p>
The thread<\/a> that prompted Kaplan’s statement suggested that the skill\u2019s cooldown should start once it\u2019s destroyed, rather than after it\u2019s placed. The change would effectively decrease Immortality Field’s uptime across the board. It\u2019s unclear if that approach lines up with Blizzard\u2019s plans for the hero.<\/p>
