Summary
Patch 12.02 focuses on a significant meta shift for the Controller and Duelist roles. Harbor has been overhauled with increased health and duration for Cove, faster movement for Reckoning, and a new ability to stop his ultimate in place. Conversely, Reyna's dominance in ranked play is addressed by making her Devour overheal temporary and increasing her ultimate cost. Systemically, the update introduces a new interaction where specific agent deployables can be concussed, alongside a substantial list of bug fixes for both PC and Console platforms.
