Initially presenting a few hitscan balance changes within the Experimental Mode, Blizzard has decided to implement every single one into the live game with the 1st July update which coincides with the start of a new competitive season, the first one with crossplay enabled.

The biggest change, as we've mentioned during the Experimental patch notes last week, is the major hitscan nerfs across the board, with damage scaling all the way down to 30% at maximum falloff range.

Let's take a look at the complete patch notes down below.
