Overwatch’s April Fool’s joke is an evil version of the game in the universe

ANA

Developer Comment: We’ve received feedback that Ana players don’t often see the immediate impact of their ult, as it’s typically used on Genji and Winston who immediately jump out of range. With this change, Ana can also enjoy the fruits of her labor with energized darts and damage reduction.

Can now deal critical damage

Spread reduced by 50%

Field of immortality

Now reduces damage while entering by 50% instead of setting a minimum health value

Cooldown reduced from 25 to 15 seconds

General

Character scale reduced by 15%

Configuration: Recon

Suppressed weapon spread

Developer Comment: We’ve heard players are very excited about everything crowd control, so now with this sweet combo you can potentially increase the stun time or I guess use it for the sake of it. mobility (ugh, boring).

Whipshot

Hitting an enemy now resets Shield Bash’s cooldown.

Developer Comment: The enemy team will often disrespectfully ignore Pilot D.Va. It will now be more difficult to survive a mech that has fallen on you.

Call Mech

Now deals 600 damage to enemies on impact

Ultimate charge cost reduced by 30%

DOOMFIST

Developer Comment: And they say he could level a skyscraper. It really puts a lot of creative restrictions on our skyscraper-themed hero ideas. This change should also fix the issue of some Doomfist players occasionally hitting the ground.

Rocket shot

Can now travel to the top

ECHO

Developer Comment: Echo players are actually some of the most useful people out there. They always say things like ‘here let me show you how it’s done’. This change should allow players to be more useful to each other in the game.

Duplicate

Duration increased from 15 to 30 seconds

GENJI

Developer Comment: Unconfirmed rumor: Genji’s cybernetics are actually fueled by the blood of his fallen foes.

Deviate

Cooldown now resets after eliminating a target

Developer Comment: Just scatter them wherever you want, then pretend you’ve totally lined him up if he takes someone out.

Storm arrows

Storm arrows now ricochet off the environment

JUNKRAT

Health increased from 250 to 400

PITY

Developer Comment: Now is not the time to underestimate the surprising amount of damage Mercy’s Caduceus Blaster can do. There is no way out. I am sorry.

Guardian angel

Can now target enemies

MOIRA

Developer Comment: There is definitely a desire to get close and deal damage while playing Moira, so we’re going to be looking at that, but also shooting in the opposite direction making allies heal. Manic intrigues escalate

Damage increased from 50 to 75 damage per second

Biotic Orb

Cooldown reduced by 1 second for every 100 health restored to an ally with Biotic Grasp (Primary Fire)

Developer Comment: We are nerfing Barrage to kill one less player on average.

Load

Now has 200% more power steering

CHAUFFARD

Developer Comment: Alternatively, Chain Hook’s new cooldown is 4 seconds, but the lack of it with the hook demoralizes Roadhog enough that he can’t muster the excitement to try again so soon, doubling the cooldown.

Chain hook

Cooldown reduced by 50% after hitting an enemy

SIGMA

Developer Comment: The experimental barrier was heavier than expected. Putting it aside allowed Sigma to no longer be anchored so close to the ground.

Forge hammer

Damage increased by 200% while overload is active

Deadly hits increase overload duration by 2 seconds

Charged shots now pierce enemies

WINSTON

Developer Comment: Winston’s Primal Rage the offensive power wasn’t quite up to our high expectations of a genetically modified space ape, so we’re giving it a little push. Winston also has a weakness for his inventions, so if you thought breaking his glasses made him angry …

Barrier projector

Enemy damage now grants Winston Ultimate Charge

Primal Rage

Melee damage increased from 40 to 90

Melee knockdown increased by 40%

WRECKING BALL

Is now always active

Damage increased from 50 to 60

Gripping claw

Cooldown increased from 5 to 7 seconds

Adaptive shield
