Overwatch 2 patch notes, Mar. 12, 2024
Yeah, this is smart. That 20 p.c therapeutic discount was downright oppressive. This is hoping this helps tanks really feel much less brittle.

- Cardiac Overdrive
- Period lowered from 5 to 4 seconds.
- Cooldown lowered from 12 to 10 seconds.
- Now fills his passive overhealth by 100.
Will this make taking part in Mauga really feel much less gross? Solely time will inform, however Cardiac being extra viable actually helps him in the long term.
What? Why? Did she want it? I imply, I am effective with this, nevertheless it feels a bit unneeded.
Small modifications, however not unhealthy ones.
Look: Rein continues to be unhealthy. There is not any quantity of harm improve right here that is going to assist that in the mean time. Reality of the matter is, his defend is manufactured from paper and he cannot do something up shut towards his largest counters. It feels unhealthy, nevertheless it’s actuality.
After years of debuffs it feels bizarre that Hog is now perhaps top-of-the-line tanks for any scenario.
- Base projectile sizes elevated from 0.075 to 0.1 meters. The full projectile measurement, when mixed with the final hero change, continues to be 0.175 meters.
That is really a non-change, which suggests it will get a non-comment.
Reaper buffs? Now? On this economic system? Certain, in case you say so.
Effectively, Sombra is simply that a lot better now. Hope you want seeing her in your Fast Play video games.
Symmetra appears like she’s continuously in that vary of being nerfed and buffed time and again. So, it is onerous to inform if these modifications will assist her take care of a non-shield based mostly meta.
A Pumpkin Spice… Latte?!
That heal improve is good. Together with the nerf to the DPS passive, this helps Ana out a ton.
All good modifications for a hero that generally appears like nothing however a distinct segment decide.
I am going to take any assist illari can get at this level. She simply feels extremely sluggish proper now, so extra firepower helps.
Simply based mostly off just a few video games on the brand new patch I may already inform his therapeutic feels higher. Nonetheless, Lifeweaver nonetheless appears like an enormous goal in comparison with different Helps.

Sympathetic Restoration passive
Overwatch 2 patch notes, Jan. 9, 2024
MAUGA

You are welcome. I feel this principally places Mauga according to the opposite tanks. Nonetheless, he’ll positively nonetheless profit tremendously from particular mixtures of Heroes comparable to Kiriko, Bastion, Mercy, and extra. Will this be sufficient to sort things? Guess we can’t know till we play.
ORISA
Alright, which one in all you foolish geese at Blizzard determined to take harm falloff away from Orisa? Good joke, very humorous. Oh. That is actual. Huh. Effectively, good luck on the market, Widowmaker mains.
ROADHOG

This can be a big buff for Sojourn throughout the board, now all the time having not less than a minimal cost. As if she wanted the assistance.
