Blizzard decided to make new ones balances and changes various characters from Overwatch 2 Prior to the start of Season 2, at that time, although the company had previously said there would be no such changes.
In a post by community manager AndyB from Blizzard on his official blog, we’ve therefore noticed some of the variations envisioned for various characters starting now. 15 November 2022should include D.Va, Genji, Sombra, Kiriko, and Zarya, among others.
in terms of Genjiessentially “nerfs” are envisaged, ie power and capacity reductions.
Max ammo has been reduced from 30 to 24 and damage from shuriken will be reduced from 29 to 27, all changes are aimed at making it more balanced, significant benefits from converting the match structure to the current 5v5.
Sombra will also experience debuffs: the duration of the hack ability has been reduced from 1.75 to 1.5 seconds, and the hack damage multiplier has been reduced from 40% to 25%. D.Vainstead, the fusion weapon spread will get an increase from 3.5 to 3.75, while the impact damage of the buffs will decrease from 25 to 15.
Moreover Kiriko scaled down: The duration of the immunity granted by the Swift step ability is reduced from 0.4 to 0.25 seconds, plus this serves above all so that teleporting through walls doesn’t mean instant death for a glitch rather than being an active skill.
Finally, zarya He received several reductions in the duration of the barrier, one going from 2.5 to 2 seconds, and the other always tied to it, increasing the cooldown from 10 to 11 seconds. Curiously, the developers stated that they were initially convinced that Zarya would be at a disadvantage in the new 5v5 setting, but eventually the opposite turned out to be one of the strongest characters in the game as a tank.
For the rest, we refer you to our Overwatch 2 review to learn more about the game, and we also remember that the event dedicated to Halloween is underway.
