The <b>Raging Storm<\/b> perk damage dropped from 40 to 35 per spin, fundamentally altering how she eliminates targets.<\/p>\n<p>The update also adds a critical nerf: <b>Soaring Slice<\/b> now starts on cooldown when respawning, preventing infinite repositioning escapes. According to Blizzard, these adjustments target her &#8220;overall lethality&#8221; and &#8220;key breakpoints&#8221; that made her nearly unkillable. <b>Experienced players<\/b> will notice the elimination combos require more setup now.<\/p>\n<h2>Doomfist, D.Va, and Ashe Face the Balance Blade<\/h2>\n<p><b>Doomfist&#8217;s Empowered Punch<\/b> limitation arrives with a <b>20-second deterioration timer<\/b>, eliminating indefinite charge scenarios. <b>D.Va&#8217;s Extended Boosters<\/b> damage bonus drops from 100% to 40%, reducing overly aggressive tank play. <b>Ashe&#8217;s<\/b> secondary fire falloff range shrinks from 40-60 meters to 35-55 meters.<\/p>\n<p><b>Bastion<\/b> takes a <b>damage reduction<\/b> from 25 to 23 on Configuration Recon, balancing his enhanced fire-rate improvements. <b>Symmetra&#8217;s Teleporter durability<\/b> drops from 250 to 200 shield health, providing clearer counterplay opportunities.
