Bastion<\/strong><\/h3>

• Configuration: Recon weapon spread reduced from 1.5 to 1.2<\/li><\/ul>

  This is a slight buff that makes a Bastion in motion slightly more accurate by reducing the spread on his main weapon.<\/p>

  D.Va (and Echo) <\/strong><\/h3>

  • Call Mech damage area reduced from three to 2.5 meters<\/li>
  • No longer builds ultimate charge while using Self Destruct until after the mech detonates<\/li><\/ul>

    This nerf changes the large Call Mech damage radius and stops Echo players from continually building ultimate charge when duplicating D.Va. It should be a simple and effective way to try and curb the previously overpowered ability.\u00a0<\/p>

    Soldier: 76<\/strong><\/h3>

    • Heavy Pulse Rifle damage falloff is disabled while Tactical Visor is active<\/li><\/ul>

      This makes Soldier\u2019s Tactical Visor more useful since it will keep the aim assist but also ignore the damage falloff.<\/p>

      Widowmaker<\/strong><\/h3>

      • Widow\u2019s Kiss damage falloff range increased from 60-85 to 70-100 meters<\/li><\/ul>

        The developers wanted to keep Widomaker effective at long distances but limit some of the things she could do outside of \u201ceffective ranges\u201d through the use of certain elements like mid-air grapple shots.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
