    The omnic tank's release received largely positive feedback from players due to an interesting and fun toolkit.

    Ramattra will receive a few buffs to improve his overall effectiveness, but his ultimate, 'Annihilitation', will be toned down a bit.

    "As we wrap Season 2, Ramattra remains a strong Tank choice and the previous changes helped achieve some of Ramattra's overall design goals," Blizzard wrote in an official blog post.

    "Going into his release though, there was one ability we knew would be a risk - his ultimate ability, Annihilation. While an ultimate lasting as long as enemies are in it is very exciting, it can lead to some unhealthy gameplay scenarios.

    "We want Ramattra to feel imposing and intimidating but not feel hopeless to fight against.

    "In Season 3, we'll be changing the timer on Annihilation so that it will tick down slower if enemies are in it (previously paused the timer entirely) and adding a cap of 20 seconds.

    "That should eliminate many of the extreme uses and enable more counterplay while keeping Annihilation a strong and impactful ability."
