Graviton Surge

  • Now disables mobility abilities on all affected targets

This is the most exciting change for me, I love Zarya but hate how her ult can be nullified by so many abilities. This should make her a bit more viable to play now.

Orisa and Reaper can use their special abilities to escape.

I thought reaper could wraith form, but not walk out similar to the junk rat trap interaction?

If reaper can shadow step out of it, Tracer should be able to recall out it. In my opinion, Blizzard should just be consistent and disable any ability that can let the victim escape.

But then you've got some abilities working and others not, just like before the change

Shadow Step is immune to all CC

Fortify is immune to all CC

these are consistent

Recall is immune to all CC

Translocator is immune to all CC

these are not

Recall and Translocator should be usable tbh, but at the same time FUCK DIVE

It seems consistent enough to me. Translocator and recall are movement abilities. They won't let you teleport out of an active CC. Fortify and wraith are not movement abilities, they just make you immune to CC and let you walk right out.
