- Torso hit volume increased from 19 to 23.
- Hand hit volumes reduced from 8.5 to 5.
- Arm hit volumes reduced from 9 to 7.
- Target lock on minimum time reduced from 0.5 to 0.35 seconds.
This change reduces the minimum lock-on time for nearby targets, allowing Pulsar Torpedoes to be used more reactively while creating a clearer distinction in lock-on times across different ranges.
Blink Boosts - Power
- Reduced Cooldown now counts as base cooldown reduced instead of gaining cooldown reduction. Now scales multiplicatively with cooldown reduction instead of additively.
This change should reduce the ceiling of Blink Boost when paired with multiple other Cooldown Reduction items. We'll continue to monitor Blink Boost's synergy with On Ability items.
Locked On – Minor Perk
- Replaced with Wormhole - Increases Hyper Ring deployment distance by 50%. Upon passing through it, allies gain 25% less speed boost, but enemies are slowed by 35%.
- Now deals 60 damage/s to enemies within range.
- Now travels towards Juno's location instead of always traveling forwards.
Juno’s speed ring is always seen as an alternative to Lucio’s speed, so introducing a slow in a support’s kit might make her more distinguishable as a hero. Also, her ult is literally a beam from the sky so it should deal damage and be controllable.

We're improving Juno's Weapon Power oriented builds and improving the viability of some lesser picked powers and items.
- Hyper Ring is now deployed sideways.
- Allies within Hyper Ring can jump higher. Wheeee!
Having grown up on Mars, Juno never got to experience the joy of a trampoline... until now.
Mediblaster
- Mediblaster can now deal critical damage against enemies.
Juno has limited defensive options against close-range threats. Allowing Mediblaster to critically hit improves her ability to defend herself while rewarding accuracy.
MediMaster - Power
- Critical Hit additional damage increased from 150% to 200%.
- Critical Hits now reduce the cooldown of [Hyper Ring] by 0.2s
Glide Boost
- Movement acceleration in air increased by 50% when changing directions while Glide Boost active.
This partial reversion to Juno’s previous air strafing makes her movement more responsive without making her overly evasive to fight against.
Medicinal Missiles - Power
- Now heals extra 30 health on pulsar hit.
Bringing back the extra heal that Medicinal Missiles used to have. This boost adds more sustain for allies and makes her supportive playstyle feel even more rewarding when landing those precise shots.
