BWR - Changelog 02/09/23

Spy
+ Spy sprint with speed boost should match your boosted speed
Fists of Steel
- Fixed reduced overheal building extra ubercharge
~ Fix only works outside of spawn
Dalokohs Bar
+ Reverted recharge time to 10s (was 15s)
- Fixed max overheal increase and uber building bugs
Requisite fixing of bugs, former one to make using spy sprint with the RTR consistent, latter two to avoid unintentionally building uber too fast with a pocketed heavy. Dalokohs recharge was reverted as compensation as it seemed underwhelming without exploits.

Jarate
+ Increased cooldown reduction from extinguishing teameates to -33% (was -20%)
+ Fixed cooldown reduction to be the intended -8s on kill (was -4s)
Mad Milk
+ Increased cooldown reduction from extinguishing teameates to -33% (was -20%)
Gas Passer
+ Increased cooldown reduction from extinguishing teameates to -33% (was -20%)
- Removed cleaning of debuffs in gas cloud
Making the supportive usage of jar weapons more rewarding with the slower recharge. In addition, the gas passer's cloud was not use terribly much for support due to cost of using it and rarity one might need it.

Warrior's Spirit
- Added: No Random Crits
The added damage made the addition of a crit combo somewhat overkill

Backburner
+ Added +33% airblast push force to self
Due to the higher cost of the airblast making its utility more costly, it was felt it should have it's mobility improved to aid in flanking with it without relying on a secondary.

Buffalo Steak Sandvich
- Removed reduction in push force taken from damage
- Removed reduction in airblast vulnerability
Both the speed and knockback made a steak heavy almost unstoppable by normal means, thus reintroducing some counter felt necessary to keep it in check.

Righteous Bison
+ Increased damage bonus to +200%
- Reverted clip size penalty to -33%
Reverting it's clip felt necessary due to its penetration and spammable nature. It's damage was buffed slightly to make up for this, making it more comparable to the shotgun in mid-range.

Conniver's Kunai
+ Increased max health drain restored at 3/s (was 1.5/s)
The regeneration appeared to be far too punishing, requiring over 10 seconds to recover from a single stab. This buff should make it only require at most 20 seconds for your max HP to recover from a chainstab.

Reserve Shooter
+ Removed clip size penalty
- Reduced accuracy bonus to 15% (was 25%)
Panic Attack
- Removed accuracy bonus (was 15% more)
Meant to cut back on excess statistics on items.

Killing Gloves of Boxing
~ Changed On-Kill: gain 100% crits until your next attack or rev up, and 3 second thereafter
+ Crit boost lasts until you start your next rev up or attack
- Crit duration reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds (not counting rev time)
With the higher bar to gaining crits, a buff was felt. These changes are meant to make transfering the crits to your next attack more reasonable for the heavy, while keeping the potential duration of crits more limited, particularly with the minigun.

Sharpened Volcano Fragment
- Reduced volcano effect's fire weakness to a +30% vulnerability (was mini-crits)
Given the number of pyro weapons that deal crits/mini-crits on burning enemies, it was felt giving a boost to damage would help prevent overlap and be a better pay-off.

Third Degree
~ Reverted damage link to targets connected by heal beams
+ Linked players includes targets connected through dispeners
+ Removed less healing from healers
Reverted to be more in-line with it's original theme, expanding its use against groups of enemies being healed. Due to the more limited usage, the healing downside was removed.

Quick-Fix
+ Removed ubercharge duration penalty
+ Blast Jump mirroring is toggleable with the RELOAD key
- Blast Jump mirroring makes medic take half the self-damage of their patient
- Reverted ubercharge bonus to +10% (was +33%)
The faster build speed seemed oppressive against other ubers, particularly on limited team sizes. To help with the reverting of its build speed, it's duration was restored, making sharing with teammates even more rewarding. In addition, the blast jumping mirroring was made less free to use but more in the user's control.
