Rework / rebalance concept
This rework/rebalance focus Zarya in new role system, the Support Role.
Basic Attack is up to 5.5 range and the old Talent Fell the Heat is now a default passive. The Grenades has "buffed":
Live | Rework
Particle Grenade: 75 | 110
Particle Grenade full energy: 225(75+200%) | 220(110+100%)
So, Particle Grenade deals more damage without energy, but deals a lower damage with full energy.
The [E] has a new Ability that is Energy Blast, this is a nice tool to disengage from many enemies in close range, deals damage, knock back enemies and dash Zarya into opposite direction.
The Heroics are basically the same, but the Expulsion Zone with upgrade Clear Out grants to all allies that hitted by expulsion zone 1 free Shield Ally, increasing her power to support the team in dangerous moments.
The talents were adjusted to fit into new kit, focusing into a big variety of defensive ways. Now Zarya has soft cleanse, slows, knock back, and consistent damage.
Therefore, Zarya has a nice capacity to support teammates, shielding allies in dangerous moments. IMHO Now Zarya is a true Defender of Russia.
