Major nerfs to <b>Vendetta<\/b> and other top heroes are forcing the entire meta to shift.

The nerfs directly address her <b>damage output<\/b> across multiple ability interactions, making her less oppressive during team fights.<\/p>\n<h2>Ashe Gets Falloff Range Reduction, Lucio and D.Va Adjustments<\/h2>\n<p><b>Ashe&#8217;s<\/b> extreme range effectiveness prompted <b>Blizzard<\/b> to reduce her <b>damage falloff range<\/b>. The increased falloff had made her too consistent at far distances, something the developers felt was problematic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lucio<\/b> also received adjustments alongside <b>D.Va<\/b> changes, with support and tank roles getting rebalanced. These adjustments provide variety in team compositions and counter-play options.<\/p>\n<h2>Support Heroes See Mixed Buffs and Nerfs Across the Board<\/h2>\n<p><b>Support role<\/b> underwent the most dramatic shift in this patch.
