Overwatch patch tweaks new heroes but Jetpack Cat remains a pain

Adding five new heroes in one drop was always going to be a balancing challenge, and Blizzard pushed a patch with nerfs and buffs for all five just days after they launched. The update focuses on a few pain points in Domina, Anran, Emre, Jetpack Cat, and Mizuki, with Vendetta receiving a minor tune as well.

It’s not all nerfs: Anran and Mizuki picked up some buffs, but there’s little here likely to appease players who dislike the chaotic menace of Jetpack Cat. Domina — Barrier Array Barrier Panel health reduced from 250 to 225. Anran — Zhuque Fans impact damage increased from 20 to 22; Fan the Flames impact damage now uses beam damage against armor mitigation (only reduced by 30% when used on armor); Inferno Rush can now be canceled with quick melee; Ignition passive burning buildup linger time increased from 3 to 4 seconds.

Emre — Synthetic Burst Rifle Take Aim falloff range increased from 30-45 to 35-50 meters; Cyber Frag explosion damage minimum radius increased from 1.25 to 2 meters.
