  Melee attacks does double the damage

  Melee attacks now inflict double the damage per hit to destructibles, including Sage's Barrier. Why? There weren't enough options during low econ rounds—such as the first round and right after switching sides—to combat Sage's Barrier Orb. Our intent is to add a high-risk, high-reward method for players to interact with her wall, while still being able to take it down, no matter their loadout.
