New Overwatch patch notes from the PTR servers show that Blizzard are working on some pretty significant character changes.
And while Bastion may have come in for the biggest overhaul of late, it appears that it will be be the sneaky healing sniper that is going to see the biggest nerf.
Ana sees her Biotic Rifle damage drop from 80 to 60, while her Biotic grande is also being hit pretty hard, going from 60 to 30 damage.
The biggest change could be for healing though, with her healthy bullet dropping 100 to 50 healing factor.
“As we iterate on the PTR patch, we are going to be trying out the following hero changes,” a message from Blizzard explains.
“These should be up on the PTR very soon, hopefully tomorrow morning. As always these updates are subject to change.”
There have been a flurry of changes and tweaks made via the PTR servers over the past week, with an earlier change being made to the newly revamped Bastion.
Explaining the move to make it so Bastion takes 20% less damage while in Configuration: Sentry or Tank (formerly 35%), a developer comment explained: “After introducing the new Ironclad passive ability in the last patch, Bastion felt a little too difficult to deal with.
“This reduction maintains his survivability while he’s transformed, but he shouldn’t feel so overbearing to enemies.”
