But today, the developers have come back to the drawing board with some huge changes.\u00a0 The June 24 Experimental Card proposes a sweeping change to hitscan heroes\u2019 long-range abilities, knocking off a full 20 percent damage at maximum falloff range. This would massively affect how hitscan heroes operate, forcing them to get closer to enemies and teamfights to be effective.\u00a0 There are also hero changes, most notably to D.Va\u2019s overpowered Call Mech ability, which changes how Echo players can take advantage of her Self-Destruct ultimate. Soldier: 76 and Bastion are getting some minor buffs, too.\u00a0 As usual, these changes are being tested and are only available on the Experimental Card, which can be accessed on Overwatch's home page. There's no guarantee these adjustments will make it to the live servers in their current form or at all. Hitscan damage adjustment\u00a0 The biggest proposed change in this Experimental Card is a widespread adjustment to how hitscan damage works at long distances.\u00a0 Hitscan damage now scales to 30 percent at maximum falloff range, down from 50 percent for the following heroes:AsheBaptisteBastionMcCreeSoldier: 76WidowmakerWrecking Ball Hitscan heroes, or those with weapons that experience no delay from shot to damage, will now experience lower damage when aiming from farther distances. If a McCree attempts to shoot a hero outside of the Peacekeeper\u2019s intended range, for example, he\u2019ll only inflict 50 percent of the weapon\u2019s damage in the current patch. With this update, that damage is dropped to 30 percent.\u00a0 \u201cThis change may be difficult to notice immediately as it scales damage over a range slightly more than before, but it will lower the impact of hitscan damage outside of their intended optimal ranges,\u201d the developers said.\u00a0 Hero changes\u00a0 Bastion Configuration: Recon weapon spread reduced from 1.5 to 1.2.\u00a0 This is a very minor proposed Bastion buff that will narrow the spread on his main weapon as he\u2019s up and moving. His Configuration: Sentry weapon, which operates when he\u2019s stationary and posted in a specific place, remains unchanged.\u00a0 D.Va (and Echo)\u00a0 Call Mech damage area reduced from three to 2.5 meters. No longer builds ultimate charge while using Self Destruct until after the mech detonates.\u00a0 Every Overwatch League fan should be happy about this proposed change. After D.Va was given a massive buff to Call Mech\u2019s damage in April, Echo players in the league abused the ability as much as humanly possible when copying the hero. This nerf changes the large Call Mech damage radius and stops Echo players from continually building ultimate charge when duplicating D.Va. \u201cEcho\u2019s accelerated ultimate charge enabled her to have Call Mech available before the Self Destruct explosion went off, making it very difficult for enemies to find a safe place to hide,\u201d the developers said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Soldier: 76 Heavy Pulse Rifle damage falloff is disabled while Tactical Visor is active.\u00a0 Soldier\u2019s \u201caimbot\u201d ultimate will remain useful even with the new hitscan falloff damage changes thanks to this proposed buff, which \u201cwill make Tactical Visor effective for more than just the aim assist.\u201d\u00a0 Widowmaker Widow\u2019s Kiss damage falloff range increased from 60-85 to 70-100 meters. As the game\u2019s premiere long-range sniper, it\u2019s absolutely critical that Widowmaker is effective even if she\u2019s stationed across the map from an enemy. \u201cWe\u2019re adjusting Widowmaker\u2019s optimal range to be slightly further out to account for some map locations where counter-sniping was common but just barely outside of the effective range with the damage falloff,\u201d the developers said.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/24090927\/dva-screenshot-004.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417948"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1722"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417948"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":417960,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417948\/revisions\/417960"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417948"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=417948"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=417948"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=417948"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=417948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
