The Junker Queen’s Commanding Shout offers more usefulness to teams, but its shorter duration means a brief period for the speed boost. The cooldown cycle is faster though. Regarding Mauga, there’s an enhancement to his Berserker passive that amplifies his overhealth conversion rate. Additionally, Ramattra gains survivability from a buff to his Nanite Repair perk. Lastly, Zarya receives some adjustments to her perks to enhance her damage output and movement speed.
