Patch Notes

Developer comments: Juno’s Blink Boosts have been dominating the skies, especially when paired with ability-survival items to gain overhealth and damage repeatedly. After reviewing performance data and player feedback, we've committed to a multi-step approach to bring this build back into balance. This update is the second step in that process, with more adjustments planned to ensure a healthier gameplay experience for both Juno players and their opponents.

Developer Comments: Tokki Slam was originally toned down due to its disruptive potential, but after observing its performance over a full season, it’s clear the impact was reduced a bit too much. We’re bringing some power back to the ability to give D.Va that big slam-dunk moment she deserves which is rewarding well-timed engages with satisfying payoff.

Developer Comments: Junkrat has brought his branded mayhem to Stadium but mostly on the back of his Weapon focused powers. We're adding some power to some of his Ability Power focused powers and items to help make them more attractive options.

Developer Comments: Snowball Flight now synergizes with Twice as Ice, expanding Mei’s mobility options and enabling more frequent use of Mini-Blizzard. This update gives her more fluid movement and crowd control opportunities, encouraging dynamic play and rewarding smart positioning.

Developer Comments: Ana remains one of the most impactful heroes when it comes to empowering her teammates, and this patch leans further into that strength. We're enhancing her ability to turn the tide of battle with key utility, particularly by increasing the impact of Biotic Grenade to create more high-stakes, high-reward moments in critical team fights. These changes aim to make Ana an even more decisive force in coordinated play.

Developer Comments: At higher MMR tiers, Juno has earned the nickname "Flying Tracer" for good reason. Her survivability, especially after Round 3, made her extremely slippery and difficult to deal with. This base adjustment is focused on slightly reducing her survival capability to keep her challenging without feeling unfair to eliminate.

Developer Comments: We're shifting Kiriko's clone to serve its role as a decoy and utility tool, rather than functioning as a lethal, cold-blooded assassin. This adjustment is the first step toward making the ability feel more fair, interactive, and enjoyable for both Kiriko players and their opponents. More updates are planned to further refine its identity and gameplay impact.

Developer Comments: While Zenyatta has often leaned toward offensive playstyles, we're making adjustments to encourage his healing focused builds as well. These changes aim to better support players who want to take on a more traditional support role and provide stronger team-wide healing presence.
