With Overwatch 2 now into its hero-changing ninth season, the devs of the PvP shooter have begun the process of tuning character balance in that old, endless dance.
This latest patch touches multiple characters on the roster, adjusting Roadhog’s damage reduction from the Take a Breather ability, Illari’s Healing Pylon and Captive Sun abilities, reducing Zenyatta’s health, and adjusting the projectile size and behavior of several other characters including Lucio, D.Va, and Hanzo, among other things.
It’s likely that more adjustments will be coming as the new competitive season continues to roll forth, but in the meantime those who are all about the team vs. team primary mode of the shooter will likely want to look over these tweaks.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial gaming company owing to a long string of scandals, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, pay disparities, sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits, federal settlements, executive misconduct, pipeline issues, messy financials, declining titles, failed partnerships, widespread illegal unionbusting, disastrous management, brain drain, bungled OW2 PvE, WoW Classic RMT, and the still-astonishing revelation that the CEO threatened to have his assistant murdered. In 2023, the company was finally acquired by Microsoft.
