Domina, Vendetta & Jetpack Cat Nerfed in Overwatch Balance Update

[cryptobro]

Blizzard has also applied significant nerfs in the latest Overwatch hotfix, targeting Domina, Vendetta, and Jetpack Cat after strong early-season performances. Domina’s ultimate, Panopticon, now costs 12% more, slowing the frequency of her devastating area-control plays that have defined tank dominance in recent matches.

Vendetta’s overhead swing damage drops from 130 to 120, and a bug granting knockback immunity during her downward strike has been fixed — another step in a string of nerfs for the Talon leader. Jetpack Cat also takes a hit, with Claws Out cooldown increased to 8 seconds and the Territorial perk damage bonus reduced from 50% to 33%, with further changes expected in the midseason patch. As Season 1 progresses, Blizzard appears focused on dialing back overtuned aggression while preserving hero identity ahead of Season 2’s April launch.
