HELDUPDATES

ORISA
This change is intended to make Defensive Protocol a more reliable protection against high damage spikes, making the ability feel more consistent.
	Defensive protocol While the effect is active, headshots cannot deal critical damage.

REAPER
Reaper’s shotguns can only unleash their great damage potential at short range or against large targets. We mitigate this somewhat by increasing the range at which they hit reliably while reducing the maximum damage of each shot.
	Inferno Shotguns The spread has been reduced from 8 to 6. Damage per projectile reduced from 7 to 5.5.

WINSTON

With this change, Winston becomes slightly more resistant to shotguns, ray guns, and high fire rate weapons. The ratio of armor and hit points have been changed from 100/400 to 150/350.

WRECKING BALL
Wrecking Ball can knock back opponents very often. Therefore, the recoil effect is a bit too strong. We reduce the recoil distance to better match that of other low cooldown recoil abilities.
	Wrecking ball The recoil has been reduced by 25%.

OVERWATCH

Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.

The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.

Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
