JunkerQueen

  • The first update is for the ‘Adrenaline Rush’ ability. Now, Junker Queen heals for the remaining CD of the wound damage if the opponent dies with the wound on them.
  • Carnage- The cooldown of Carnage is reduced by 2 seconds for each enemy it hits. This would be an inspirational push for the tank mains to utilize Junker Queen more.
  • Jagged Blade- The impact time damage of the Jagged Blade throw has been reduced to 50. But, direct impact adds an additional 30 damage. This stacks with the wounds caused by quick melee attacks and also by returning the blade.

Moira

The main problem Moria players faced was the issue of Biotic energy going down fast. Now, when dealing damage with the Biotic orb, a small amount of Biotic energy is restored. This slight adjustment will make Moira even more dangerous.

The other heroes who got adjustments in this January patch are Zarya and Brigitte. Zarya is a strong tank and now her energy degeneration is reduced from 2.2 to 2. Moreover, the delay of energy degeneration has been increased from 1 to 2. For Brigitte, her barrier shield will now have 300 HP instead of 200.
