    Biotic Grenade
Impact damage reduced from 60 to 30
Impact healing reduced from 100 to 50

Orisa

    Fusion Driver

Supercharger
Cost increased by 15%

Sombra

    Stealth
Sound effects and VO distance for entering and exiting Stealth reduced to 15 meters.

    Translocator

Some buffs and some nerfs that will be tested in the upcoming days at the PTR. Remember that these changes may not go through as they are right now. Blizzard clearly wishes to do something about the past tank-meta by nerfing Ana though. What are your thoughts on this patch? Let us know in the comments below!
