General Updates

Hero Mastery Mode

The Hero Mastery mode and courses are no longer available to play.

Developer comments: As we focus more time and effort into delivering the best experience for Quick Play, Competitive, Stadium, and other new ways to play, we’re going to be shifting focus away from past game modes that haven’t seen as much attention. With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to sunset Hero Mastery courses.

Team Text Chat

New Options added to Social → Text Chat
The color of each existing Text Chat Channel (Whisper/Group/Team/Match) can now be set. These default to their existing colors.
The color Comms/Pings can now be set.
Tabbing through each of the potential text chat channels includes a small new visual element to indicate that the channel has changed.

Hero Updates

Developer Comments: This patch primarily focuses on balancing hero perks following the Season 18 perk refresh. Based on pick rate, gameplay data, and player feedback, we’re making adjustments to perks to ensure each choice feels meaningful while keeping the options fair and impactful across all heroes.

Tank

Doomfist

Developer Comment: Power Block can make Doomfist difficult to punish in certain situations. This change reduces its damage reduction slightly, giving opponents more opportunity to overwhelm his block with damage while preserving the flow of Doomfist’s gameplay.

Power Block – Ability 2

Damage reduction reduced from 80% to 75%.

Aftershock – Major Perk

Slow duration increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds.
Slow amount increased from 30% to 40%.

Hazard

Anarchic Zeal – Minor Perk

Lifesteal increased from 25% to 30%.

Junker Queen

Rampant Charge – Minor Perk

No longer refreshes all cooldowns.
Now reduces all cooldowns by 6 seconds.

Mauga

Developer Comments: Cage Fight is a powerful ultimate, but its charge rate has been a bit slow. We’ve slightly reduced its cost to help Mauga earn it more consistently, while keeping it balanced relative to its power.

Ultimate cost reduced by 6%.

Combat Fuel – Major Perk

Maximum overhealth granted increased from 100 to 150.
Critical hits amount of overhealth given increased from 2 to 3.

Reinhardt

Barrier Re-Charge – Minor Perk

Barrier Field regeneration rate increased from 150 to 200.

Wrecking Ball

Adaptive Barrier – Major Perk

No longer consumes overhealth.
Visual size increased to be in line with Zarya Barriers.

Damage

Cassidy

Even the Odds – Minor Perk

Healing per second increased from 20 to 30.

Freja

Relentless Barrage – Major Perk

Ammo refunded increased from 4 to 8.

Mei

Glacial Propulsion – Minor Perk

No longer shares a cooldown with Ice Wall.
Cooldown increased from 6 to 10 seconds.

Reaper

Developer Comments: Reaper’s engage and disengage potential has been too consistent with the addition of Shadow Blink. We’ve reduced Wraith Form’s movement speed to lower his overall mobility, moved Shadow Blink to a major perk, and added Lingering Wraith as a new minor perk to preserve mobility options for players who choose it.

Wraith Form – Ability 1

Movement speed while active reduced from 50% to 40%.

Shadow Blink – Major Perk

Moved from Minor to Major Perk.

Ravenous Wraith – Major Perk

Removed.

Lingering Wraith – Minor Perk

New Minor Perk
Leaving Wraith Form grants 40% movement speed for 2 seconds.

Tracer

Developer Comments: Flashback no longer grants 2 Blink charges instantly after Recall. This change creates a short delay before additional Blinks are available. This helps limit rapid Blink chaining while maintaining Flashback’s effectiveness.

Flashback – Major Perk

No longer grants 2 Blink charges.
Now increases Blink cooldown recovery rate by 150% for 3 seconds after Recall.

Widowmaker

Seeker Mine – Major Perk

Damage increased from 25 to 50.

Support

Ana

Headhunter – Major Perk

Critical damage multiplier increased from 1.5x to 2x.

Baptiste

Assault Burst – Major Perk

No longer removes healing from Regenerative Burst.
Attack speed bonus reduced from 30% to 25%.

Illari

Solar Flare – Major Perk

Resource cost reduced from 100% to 50% of max energy.
Healing amount no longer scales with energy spent.
Explosion healing is now a flat 100 healing.

Juno

Developer Comments: Orbital Ray remains a strong support ultimate, but Juno’s time to earn it can feel a bit slow. This change keeps her ultimate among the longer-to-earn options while bringing her closer in line with the rest of the hero roster.

Ultimate cost reduced by 8%.

Kiriko

Foxtrot – Major Perk

Duration reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds.

Ready Step – Major Perk

Duration increased from 2 to 3 seconds.

Lifeweaver

Lifeweaving - Minor Perk

Rejuvenating Dash’s healing increased from 20 to 30.

Petal Power – Major Perk

Attack speed bonus increased from 25% to 30%.

Wuyang

Developer Comments: Wuyang remains a strong support, with high healing and damage paired with strong mobility. We’ve reduced his base health to make him a less survivable threat while keeping his numbers impactful. Additionally, slight adjustments to Xuanwu Staff’s damage reduce explosion damage while still rewarding direct hits.

Base health reduced from 250 to 225.

Xuanwu Staff – Primary Fire

Maximum explosion damage reduced from 70 to 60.
Maximum impact damage increased from 30 to 40.

Overflow – Minor Perk

Healing resource generation increased from 33% to 50%.

Balance – Minor Perk

Passive healing reduced from 40% to 30%.

Ebb and Flow – Major Perk

Healing on the returning wave reduced by 50%.

Stadium Updates

Stadium Competitive Updates

Stadium Competitive will now use the best of 5 format.
Powers are granted on rounds 1, 2, 3 and 5
The first team that wins 3 rounds will win the match
The mercy rule has been disabled
Round 1 completion cash increased to 7500 (Up from 5000)
Round 2 completion cash increased to 5000 (Up from 4000)
Round complete cash increased to 4250 (Up from 3500)
The amount of cash generated each round from healing and damage has been increased
MVP bonus increased to 1500 (Up from 1000)

Developer comments: Now that stadium has been out for three seasons, players have a better understanding of the mode and how it works. Based on this, we think we can move away from the more segmented power curve offered by the 7-round approach, which served us well in these early months. We have been happy with the results of the Quick Play format in Season 18 and we want to bring those same wins to competitive. The goal of this change is to keep the competitive nature of the format while still making it move at a faster pace. We look forward to your feedback on this as we continue to iterate on Stadium and make it the best it can be.
