150 of his health pool is being converted into shields, which recharge over time.
Reinhardt is also receiving some buffs in the upcoming patch, with one nerf as well.
NEW FEATURE: STREAMER PROTECT
Players can now activate Streamer Protect options in-game options.
These options will provide players with ways to hide identifying information when livestreaming matches.
Earthshatter direct hit damage is being reduced with that goal in mind.
Well see how it plays out and adjust if necessary.
These changes are aimed at reducing his downtime so he can press that advantage even further.
Sombra
Machine Pistol
Hack
Developer Comments: Sombra is underperforming after her last round of changes.
Its a small increase per projectile, but it adds up quickly due to her fast fire rate.
The health pack duration increase is a minor buff to avoid needing to re-hack them quite so often.
Moira
Coalescence
Zenyatta
Orb of Destruction
Developer Comment: Weve been discussing options to potentially increase Zenyattas survivability.
Weve seen previously in the beta that Zenyatta is on somewhat of a knifes edge for balance.
Even just 25 more shield health pushed him into overpowered-must-pick territory at the pro level.
