@LifeatBlizzard: Meet @GW_Alec, Lead Hero Designer on Overwatch 2 🐸 #BlizzardPride

“My fascination with games began when I was 3, when…

Patch now live with adjustments to Mei, Lifeweaver, and Cassidy. Bug fixes and map fixes in there as well, Antartica and Rio are back in the mix.

Cassidy's Magnetic Grenade will have a slightly lower seeking radius and homing duration.

Have a good amount of changes planned for Season 5 Midseason, excited to share those with y'all soon.

Mei and Cassidy adjustments are both in response to how their kits have been playing since S5 changes. We're pulling back a bit here on their CC additions and will continue to monitor.

Finding more of a middle ground for Mei, damage going up on primary and slow going down.

Small hotfix going out later this week with adjustments for Lifeweaver, Mei, and Cassidy.

Lifeweaver to receive small Thorn Volley buffs. Latest changes provided a much better baseline (in acceptable range), but still have some more improvements in store for him down the road.

We were experimenting with some other Genji changes for Season 5 and the ammo increase was included in that list. Missed it in some of the reverts, but...

We are keeping it in.

@adampuhl All you and the team Adam! Players are gonna love this one, thanks for it as one last gift <3

@cocoadisanjh: A little sneak peek at Overwatch's next hero!

This is the first new hero to the game I've been able to work on - and boy…

With Mei changes, 100->55dps on primary fire.

For Lifeweaver, experimented with a passive that gave more healing for ally missing health and added effects for standing on the platform. Felt best bringing up his stats across the board, gives more space to work with in the future.

@bethbryson @PlayWarframe @DigitalExtremes Congrats, congrats! Hope it's awesome!

@UnpricedD Yes, but takes a bit of work. Finding a better way to communicate inspire is at the top of that list.

Feels good

@KarkatNASB There is an option coming for this soon! Thank you for bringing it up

Along with the 2.4.1 balance changes today, we also included a lot of new Hero Options! This is the first wave and we'll continue to add over time (some need ui/art support).

Community suggestions helped form this list, always on the lookout for more!

@aaronkellerOW: Has it been 2 weeks already? Newest Director's Take is up now. A deeper look at Lifeweaver and his recent performance as…

@beeGamingLive Congrats Bri!!!

@jasondeheras Can't wait to play it this weekend, congrats!
