Sierra’s projectile size is large relative to her fire rate, making her weapon too consistent. Reducing projectile size lowers this consistency, while improvements to Anchor Drone’s responsiveness increase her mobility.
Sierra has not been as effective as intended since her launch. Her weapon damage is being increased to improve overall output, while the damage increase to Tracking Shot better rewards players for successfully landing it. The Anchor Drone changes improve mobility responsiveness and drone survivability, allowing for more aggressive playstyles. Sierra’s ultimate cost has also been increased due to its already fast charge rate in combination with her improved damage output.
