The overall balance adjustments don’t overly target every strong hero, and instead provide key changes that will bring some heavily used options down to the level of other characters. The buffs and reworks are more interesting, as they aim to take heroes that might have had major issues and turn them into viable options in more scenarios. The Team-Ups are going to be a deciding factor this season, as we are losing some staple options like Ammo Overcharge in favor of new, potentially busted abilities like Chilling Assault.
