Alongside the launch of Overwatch 2<\/em>‘s second season, developer Blizzard Entertainment is rolling out a series of seasonal balance changes hoping to address gameplay issues from the game’s inaugural season. Some oft-requested nerfs and buffs are included in Tuesday’s patch, bringing much-needed boosts to Doomfist and Junker Queen, with decreases in overall power to heroes like Sojourn and Kiriko. Smaller tweaks are now live in overwatch<\/em> 2<\/em> for heroes like Bastion, Symmetra, Ana, and Mercy \u2014 who might<\/em> just be a bit more capable in battle now.<\/p>\n

There’s also a role-wide change for Damage heroes. Previously, all heroes in that category received a movement speed bonus, but as Blizzard points out in its patch notes, \u201cWhile the additional movement speed was helpful indicator the passive was active, we saw change in speed negatively affecting the ability to aim precisely. \u201d Damage heroes will instead get a reload speed bonus, boosted from 25% to 35%.<\/p>\n

As for Doomfist, he’s getting a ton of tweaks designed to \u201cincrease his presence as a disruptive brawler-style tank.\u201d A buff to his passive ability \u201cwill help him stay in the fight longer, especially when he’s hitting multiple enemies with his abilities,\u201d Blizzard says.<\/p>\n

Bastion’s ultimate is getting deadlier, while Kiriko’s is getting less powerful. Sojourn’s railgun is less of a point-and-kill weapon, while Mercy gets a bit more weapon proficiency. Here’s the full list of hero changes that arrived with Tuesday’s patch:<\/p>\n
