Two very significant operator balance changes rolling out in tomorrow's patch.
Quote:
Kapkan
Kapkan can place his gadget at any height and it is now harder to spot There are several changes to Kapan’s Trip Wire gadget that will make his role much more tactical; he’ll be harder to anticipate than in the past. First of all, we’ve removed the red screw that displays on the opposite wall of where the gadget is deployed, which is a dead giveaway for any seasoned player. The Trip Wire laser now has reduced intensity making it harder to spot by attackers, and is slightly less audible when deployed. And now with Patch 3.3, Kapkan can set his Trip Wire gadget at any height on the frame of a doorway or window. We believe these tweaks will restore Kapkan’s former glory and make him a force to be reckoned with.

Mute
Mute’s Signal Disruptor has increased range. We have made the jamming zone larger on Mute’s Signal Distruptor. Before the update it was set at 1.5 meters of radius, and with Patch 3.3 it is now set at 2.25 meters. This range will let you jam larger areas around walls as well as reinforced ones, as well as making it almost impossible for drones to jump through.

Kapkan is going to be a beast now. He's always been an operator that I've liked simply for his weapons and now his trip mines are going to be a real threat. Mute is probably my most often selected defender and his change seems small but it'll be a real help. Now a single jammer will be capable of blocking two reinforced walls.
