Overwatch Lunar Event 2019 patch notes
Hero Updates
General
- Damage reduction from armour reduced from -5 to -3
Developer Comments: This change is most noticeable for heroes who shoot fast or in series, like shotguns, and do more than damage per shot. For example, the Soldier: 76 heavy pulse rifle now does 16 damage per shot to armoured opponents out of 14 (an increase of nearly 15%). Overall, the armour was a little too strong, significantly as the heroes healed quickly and often. This change will help more heroes fight higher armoured enemies.
- Brigitte
- Rally: Now, its maximum duration is 30 seconds
- D.Va
- Defense Matrix: Cooling time increased from 1 second to 2 seconds
- Reaper
- Harvest: Life theft rose from 30 per cent to 50 per cent of the damage

Earlier, Blizzard revealed that it has
five or six Overwatch heroes at a time.
The Overwatch team has a variety of great
heroes to select from to announce and add to the game.
Although the thought process behind them is not the same.
“There are currently five or six different
hero prototypes in use,” Overwatch Production
Director Chacko Sonny said. “Some attraction ideas
like ‘this would be a good addition to this
category,’ and sometimes it’s backed by a great
sketch we want to make [a hero]. I don’t want to
present a picture where they all come from in the
same way.” The inspiration comes from many different
places, and there’s a lot of discussion going on at the
time about who is the next hero and what is the right
thing for the game at that time. “
In this note, we asked if Overwatch has a
the specific number of heroes in mind.
The game was launched with 21 heroes,
and has added eight more because Sonny
claims the studio is driven by what the
heroes add to the gameplay, not just the
the number of players available.
“They’ve all come up with something new
and changed the strategy people play the game,”
he said. “There have been cases where we are
editing some things since the release, but we
think there is fertile ground for the
introduction of new hero models.
I know for sure about some of the
prototypes I have recently played,
I am very excited about the future.”
