A simple sound change affects Omen<\/a>‘s Dark Cover (smokes). The sound effect from tossing these smokes is no longer played within 12.5m for third-person enemies. Allies, however, will still hear the sound cue. This is noted as a minor buff for consistency across controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brimstone<\/a>: His Sky Smokes will now play their usage sound change for teammates within a 12.5 meter radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reyna<\/a>: A small but potentially impactful change hits her Leer (flash). Breaking it just got easier because its HP was reduced from 100 HP down to a flatter 80 HP. This could mean it takes something like two Vandal<\/a> shots to pop that flash now. For player convenience, both audio and visual feedback have been added for when the Leer is hit, indicating the health was reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
