I agree, it may be fun. Touched the v1.0 patch few times, I wasn't interested in the game at first, started to play more often around 2 or 3 years after release. All the OW2 new players will know the DPS instalock nightmare, until a team comes to 5 Winton/Genji and 1 Mercy memes, Bastion with shield~, Symetra as support (with infamous troll TP) and the most unbalanced version of the game.

Pick the heroes that work best for you! Also in the first few days, Overwatch: Classic will play with the No Hero Limits rule as the original release didn’t enforce hero limits. So you can have up to six of the same hero for any meme comp you want. After that, we will enable single hero limits for the remainder of this first Overwatch: Classic event.

Yeah you are right. So few days of meme comps and then instalock comps with 5 DPS and 1 SUP. People will notice the "real" OW Classic. Gonna play anyways, just for the nostalgic feelings. lol

[Blizzard] Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes - February 13, 2024

HERO UPDATES

GENERAL

Developer Comments: Season 9 features changes to the fundamentals of Overwatch 2 gameplay that affect every hero. We’ve heard the community feedback around some gameplay pain points, and these changes are in response to many of those.

Most damage-dealing projectile sizes have been increased by a new global modifier added to their base size.

  • +0.05 meters for hitscan projectiles with a high rate of fire or spread (e.g., Tracer’s Pulse Pistols or Reaper’s Hellfire Shotguns).
  • +0.08 meters for hitscan projectiles that are more precise (e.g., Cassidy’s Peacekeeper or Soldier:76’s Heavy Pulse Rifle).
  • +0.05 meters for travel time projectiles that are shotguns or have a very high rate of fire (e.g., Roadhog’s Scrap Gun or Ramattra’s Void Accelerator).
  • +0.10 meters for travel time projectile with a speed greater than 50 meters per second (e.g., Zenyatta’s Destruction Orb).
  • +0.15 meters for travel time projectile with a speed less than or equal to 50 meters per second (e.g., Pharah’s Rocket Launcher).
  • Very large projectiles with a base size greater than 0.5 meters have been excluded from these increases (e.g., Orisa’s Energy Javelin or Reinhardt’s Fire Strike).

  • 150-175 HP heroes increased by 25 HP.

JUNKERTOWN UPDATE

Comment on

[Blizzard] Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes - December 5, 2023

HERO UPDATES

  • Maximum ultimate charge preserved on hero swap reduced from 25 to 15%.
  • Added Hero-Specific Options to every character to adjust the rumble strength of each of their abilities.

TANK

Doomfist

Meteor Strike

  • Now regenerates 75 health per second while in the air.
  • Ultimate cost increased 16%.  

Junker Queen

Scattergun

  • Spread reduced 8%.

  Mauga

  • Base health reduced from 500 to 350.
  • Base armor increased from 0 to 150.
  • Head hit volume reduced 15%.

Incendiary and Volatile Chainguns

  • Spread for firing both guns reduced 15%.
  • Fire rate multiplier for firing both guns reduced from 25% to 0%.
  • Damage per shot increased from 4.5 to 5.
  • Damage falloff range increased from 25 to 30 meters.
  • Max ammo increased from 300 to 350.
  • Movement speed penalty reduced from 20% to 15% per gun.

Overrun

  • Can no longer be interrupted by Hack.
  • Damage reduction increased from 30 to 50%.

Cardiac Overdrive

  • Lifesteal increased from 60 to 70%.

Berserker (Passive)

  • Overhealth conversion rate increased from 40% to 50%.

Ramattra

  • Base health reduced from 300 to 200.
  • Base armor increased from 0 to 100.

Void Accelerator

  • Projectile size increased from 0.075 to 0.1 meters.
  • Damage increased from 4.5 to 5.

Sigma

Experimental Barrier

  • Regeneration rate reduced from 100 to 85 health per second.

Winston

Tesla Cannon

  • Now ignores armor damage reduction.

Developer Comments: This is a special property for the Tesla Cannon intended to increase Winston’s effectiveness against other tanks with large armor health pools. He still won’t specialize in dealing with tanks since his single target damage output is low, but it will be less of an extreme disadvantage.

DAMAGE

Mei

Endothermic Blaster

  • Maximum ammo reduced from 150 to 120.

Developer Comments: We’re reducing the maximum ammo to limit how long Mei is able to continuously slow an enemy target now that the primary fire deals more damage.

Soldier: 76

Biotic Field

  • Cooldown increased from 15 to 18 seconds.

Developer Comments: Soldier’s self-sustain ability is potent and makes him difficult to deal with while he’s in its area. Rather than reduce its raw healing output again we’re increasing the amount of time between consecutive uses to open up longer periods of vulnerability.

Sombra

EMP

  • Ability lockout duration increased from 1.5 to 3 seconds.
  • Damage reduced from 30 to 25% of current health.

Developer Comments: The 1.5 second lockout duration didn’t feel impactful enough for an ultimate ability but generally EMP is more interesting and effective when it’s focused on the disabling aspect rather than the damage.

Torbjörn

Overload

  • Overhealth increased from 75 to 100.

Developer Comments: The health decrease on Overload severely impacted Torbjorn’s overall effectiveness so we’re reverting that change.

Tracer

Pulse Pistols

  • Damage increased from 5.5 to 6.

Developer Comments: This damage value has been changed a few times over the course of OW2 and is now back to Tracer’s original damage. It was previously adjusted due to a couple of bugs with the Pulse Pistol falloff range and spread being much better than they should have.

SUPPORT

Baptiste

Biotic Launcher

  • Primary fire ammo reduced from 45 to 36.

Developer Comments: Baptiste has a high amount of sustained damage in addition to his various survival tools. We would prefer to keep his long cooldown abilities feeling impactful so we’re going to be pulling back on some of his damage potential here.

Brigitte

Whip Shot

  • Damage reduced from 80 to 70.

Developer Comments: Brigitte ended up being the best performing support hero in the game by a fair margin since the last patch. It’s likely a result of more than just the damage breakpoint change that she received but it was a significant increase to her offense so we’re reverting it and will continue to evaluate further.

Kiriko

Healing Ofuda

  • Projectile speed increased from 14 to 18 meters per second.

Protection Suzu

  • Invulnerability duration reduced from 0.85 to 0.65 seconds.
  • Healing explosion increased from 40 to 80 health.

Developer Comments: Reducing the Protection Suzu invulnerability time further will help it feel less frustrating to play against but still enable it to have big play making moments although with a stricter timing requirement. To counterbalance that power loss we’re making Kiriko’s healing more reliable.

Mercy

Valkyrie

  • Activating Valkyrie no longer disconnects Caduceus Staff from its target.

Developer Comments: This is just a small quality-of-life improvement to help keep Mercy healing or powering up her allies without penalty for activating her ultimate.

[Blizzard] Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – May 24, 2024 (Yep, another patch. Hog nerf / Sigma old ult returns)

Roadhog

Developer comments: Roadhog benefitted greatly from the recent headshot reduction passive for Tanks so we are nerfing his survivability. This change to Take a Breather is aimed at encouraging more mindful resource management. The change to Whole Hog will make the ultimate more of a zoning tool while lowering its lethality, especially against tanks with their recently increased knockback resistance.

Take a Breather

  • Resource regeneration rate reduced from 10 to 8 per second.
  • Maximum healing reduced from 450 to 400.
  • Cooldown reduced from 1.5 to 1.25 seconds.

Whole Hog

  • Knockback increased from 14 to 16.
  • Damage per pellet reduced from 7 to 6.

 

Sigma

Developer comments: Our last patch aimed to make some Tank ultimates more forgiving to use during combat. Sigma’s Gravitic Flux can suffer from missing due to slight line of sight checks but we don’t believe this change had proper communication for all instances. We may return to this change for Sigma down the line with updated visuals.

Gravitic Flux

  • Gravitic Flux now requires line-of-sight to lift targets again.

[Blizzard] Aaron Keller/Twitter - "...The Roadhog rework goes live next Tuesday, the 14th!"

Reply in thread

No leaks for the moment. We have to wait it or until Blizz publish about that.

Thinking about what happened to Sombra, I don't think Blizz will remove hook, cuz It's something that makes him unique. (I guess) The heal it's something that they can possibly change, something like buff or little armor to near teammates. Hog players use to ignore the rest of his team.
