Patch date: . Guide reviewed 2026-11-03. Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.
How this guide was prepared: AI-assisted analysis with a separate source-check pass against archived official notes. Practical decisions are reasoned suggestions, not player-tested results or measured win-rate evidence. A small hotfix receives a short guide rather than a reconstructed full build.
Original update sources
Recorded topics: Heroes, Gameplay, Interface. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Review health-bar display
What changed: Player names above health bars can be hidden or changed to hero names. They fade with distance starting at 25m and are fully gone at 35m. Player-name brightness and Ultimate indicator size are reduced, and health-bar position is more stable.
How to adapt: Choose the name display that suits you, then check visibility and bar placement at different distances in a match; these are display changes, not stated changes to health or Ultimate mechanics.
Set enemy-color options
What changed: Trooper enemy health bars now change with your custom enemy color. Accessibility settings add an Enemy Damaged Color option for health bars, with yellow as the default; Custom UI colors add an Enemy zipline color option.
How to adapt: If enemy indicators are hard to distinguish with your palette, adjust these options and check them in play; the notes specify only that yellow is the default for Enemy Damaged Color.
Check the new ping and control option
What changed: A minimap ping was added when the bell sounds, and Down Dash can now be rebound.
How to adapt: Check whether the bell-related minimap ping is useful to you, and review control settings to bind Down Dash if you prefer another input; the notes give no ping details or default binding.
Recheck selected audio levels
What changed: UI death-notification sounds and respawn music have lower volumes.
How to adapt: Listen for both after the update and adjust your audio settings if needed; no volume values or changes to other sounds are specified.
