The <b>damage hero&#8217;s Projected Edge<\/b> ability drops from 80 to 70 damage, cutting 10 points from a crucial ability. According to <b>Blizzard Entertainment<\/b>, while recent changes improved ability flow, Vendetta&#8217;s overall lethality remained too high, necessitating these adjustments to reduce key breakpoints.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Soaring Slice<\/b> ability also starts on cooldown when respawning, preventing instant reactivation on spawn. Competitive players express frustration over consecutive nerfs and buffs destabilizing the hero&#8217;s viability week to week.<\/p>\n<h2>D.Va Bug Fix Corrects Fusion Perk Exploit<\/h2>\n<p><b>D.Va<\/b> receives a critical bug fix affecting her <b>Precision Fusion perk<\/b>. The perk was incorrectly applying to <b>Micro Missiles<\/b> instead of only her primary fire. This fix prevents unintended damage stacking and restores intended gameplay mechanics. The correction rebalances D.Va&#8217;s effectiveness in team fights.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the <b>Extended Boosters perk<\/b> damage drops significantly. Additional booster damage reduces from 100% to 40%, addressing aggressive booster play patterns. This change discourages reckless charging while maintaining D.Va&#8217;s mobility strengths in competitive play.<\/p>\n<h2>Complete Mid-Season Balance Breakdown<\/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<\/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>Vendetta<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Projected Edge damage 80 to 70<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Reduced burst damage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>D.Va<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Boosters perk 100% to 40% damage<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Less aggressive play<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Roadhog<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Buff to hook consistency<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Improved tank viability<\/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'>Buff to ability damage<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Enhanced damage output<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>&#8220;While recent changes improved ability flow, Vendetta&#8217;s overall lethality has remained too high.
