Agent updates

Skye

Skye will be available for use in official esports competition (e.g., First Strike) after two weeks in Competitive queue (November 9, barring any issues).

Initiators

Flash Tuning: The fade out of the flash debuff remains the same duration but now fades slower at the start.

Initiators create concentrated windows of extremely high threat to help their teams break onto sites. To this end, we are slightly increasing the duration of debuffs from some Initiator abilities (mostly flashes). Our goal here is to increase the opportunity window that Initiator’s teammates have to capitalize on their utility and further differentiate Initiators from Duelists.

Breach

• Full flash time increased from 1.75 >>> 2

Sentinels

Similar to some of the changes we made with Sage, we want to increase the depth of decision making when playing Sentinels while also providing enemies with more counterplay to “trap” abilities. To reduce the total potential impact of these abilities, autonomous traps are now disabled when the deployer dies (e.g., Cypher’s Trapwire disables when Cypher dies). We want to encourage Sentinel players to play more thoughtfully and carefully around their traps while increasing the reward for taking out the Sentinel player.

Cypher

Trapwire

• Disabled and revealed upon death.

Spy Camera

• Disabled and revealed upon death.

Killjoy

Deactivation Range

• Alarmbot and Turret now deactivate if she is more than 40m away from them—reentering the 40m range reactivates her little friends.

Turret

• Cooldown after pickup reduced from 20 seconds >>> 10 seconds

Alarmbot

• Range at which Alarmbot can be detected decreased from 9m >>> 7m
• Cooldown after pickup reduced from 20 seconds >>> 7 seconds

Nanoswarm

• Range at which Nanoswarm can be detected decreased from 5m >>> 3.5m
• Damage increased from 40/s >>> 45/s
• Damage now ticks smoother and faster while in Nanoswarm, instead of in chunks of 10 every ¼ of a second.
