The most-picked tank in this meta hasn\u2019t escaped a nerf, no matter how minor it is. Orisa\u2019s Fortify allows her to stand tall against enemies and avoid death by damage reduction. A 10-percent decrease likely isn’t enough to reduce her overwhelming pick rate, but she may be easier to eliminate as a result.\u00a0<\/p>
Doomfist<\/strong><\/h3> - Rising Uppercut recovery time increased from 0.2 to 0.35 seconds.<\/li><\/ul>
When Doomfist does an uppercut, he\u2019s temporarily \u201cstunned\u201d since it\u2019s often the end of a combination move. This nerf increases the amount of time the hero is stunned in the air. While this seems like a big change, the increase seen here is a reduction from the 0.5-second stun that was tested on the PTR the past week.\u00a0<\/p>
Hanzo<\/strong><\/h3> - Storm Bow maximum projectile speed reduced from 125 to 110.<\/li><\/ul>
During his rework, Hanzo received a big buff to his projectile speed, making him much better at long-range sniping. Over the past few months, Hanzo has been mostly used as a shield-breaking hero at mid-range. The developers noticed this and said \u201cdecreasing the speed will reduce his sniping capability while still keeping him strong at mid-range.\u201d You\u2019ll have to swap back to Widowmaker to hit those long-range headshots.\u00a0<\/p>
D.Va<\/strong><\/h3> - Booster cooldown decreased from five to three seconds.<\/li><\/ul>
D.Va receives the only buff of this patch with her booster cooldown getting nearly halved. The off-tank has seen very little play in the past few months due to the presence of shields. This buff allows her to zip around the map much faster, making life difficult for projectile heroes like Pharah and Junkrat. This may be just enough to get D.Va back into the meta.\u00a0<\/p>
As usual, the developers also fixed a list of minor bugs, which can be found in the patch notes<\/a>. The spectator client has also received some minor improvements, like new hotkeys and improved camera smoothness.\u00a0The Overwatch<\/em> League will play on Patch 1.44<\/a> once the games begin again on Feb. 8, according to the latest reports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
