Passive ability

Passive abilities are abilities that either activate without the player's interaction; or do not directly affect the game world, but only the movement or state of the hero or their abilities. When passive abilities are controlled, they are usually activated using the Space bar. Passive abilities that require a button to press are negated by Hack.

Not all heroes have passive abilities. Where present, passive abilities are often core to the play style or capabilities of the hero.

Trivia

 * Although not officially listed as passive abilities, Genji and Tracer have the higher base movement speed of 6.0m/s, rather than the 5.5m/s that other heroes have under normal circumstances. This is not negated by Hack.
