Overwatch August 13 Update Tweaks Seven Heroes, Patch Notes Here

Overwatch's August 13 update is now live on all platforms. The update solely focuses on hero balancing and tries to make the game more fun. Brigitte has been nerfed, as her base health is lowered to 150 and total healing to 90 instead of the previous 130. However, self-healing is not reduced by half anymore. Orisa also saw a reduction of base armor by 50. The radius of ‘Halt’ is also reduced by three meters, but projectile speed has been increased to 30.

Pharah received some tweaks for her Hover Jets and Barrage ability. The Hover Jets movement speed is increased by 20 percent, but the regen rate is reduced to 35 per second from the previous 50. The barrage duration is also reduced by 0.5 seconds.
