According to <b>Blizzard developers<\/b>, Vendetta&#8217;s overall lethality remained too high despite previous adjustments.<\/p>\n<p><b>Projected Edge damage<\/b> dropped from 80 to 70, <b>Whirlwind Dash damage<\/b> fell from 80 to 70, and her <b>Raging Storm perk<\/b> decreased from 40 to 35 per spin. Most significantly, <b>Soaring Slice<\/b> now starts on cooldown when respawning, preventing her from chain-eliminating enemies immediately upon revival.<\/p>\n<h2>Tanks Get Selective Treatment in Reshuffle<\/h2>\n<p><b>Three tank heroes<\/b> received updates with mixed results. <b>Doomfist&#8217;s<\/b> empowered Rocket Punch now deteriorates after 20 seconds instead of lasting indefinitely, and his Power Matrix projectile absorption area was scaled down to match his model size.<\/p>\n<p><b>D.Va&#8217;s Extended Boosters perk<\/b> saw her damage bonus cut from 100% to 40%, reining in aggressive booster plays. However, <b>Roadhog<\/b> got a buff with Whole Hog damage increasing from 6 to 7 per pellet, improving elimination reliability.<\/p>\n<h2>Meta-Shifting Balance Changes Across All Roles<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Hero<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Change Type<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Impact<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Zenyatta<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Discord Orb Buff<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Amplification 25% to 30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Genji<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Shuriken Ammo Buff<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>24 to 30 rounds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Illari<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Damage Buff<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Max 70 to 75, Min 20 to 25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Moira<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Ultimate Cost Reduction<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>7% faster Coalescence charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Support heroes received the most significant buffs overall. <b>Zenyatta&#8217;s Discord Orb<\/b> increased from 25% to 30% amplification, making him deadlier in coordinated play. <b>Illari&#8217;s Solar Rifle<\/b> damage jumped across both max and minimum values, while <b>Moira&#8217;s Coalescence<\/b> now charges 7% faster.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lucio, however, took a nerf<\/b> with Soundwave cooldown increasing from 4 to 5 seconds, slightly reducing his overall pressure.
