Product Information

Soldier: 76 has received some new nerfs in Overwatch 2, all of which are designed to make him less powerful in an era where tanking shields are less oppressive. Cooldown reduced from 8 to 4 seconds, but the cooldown is no longer reduced when hacking health packs.

The new buff to her Biotic Orb also improves her uptime, allowing her to heal longer than she could before. Developer comments: The intent for Bastion's Ultimate is that enemy players can survive it if they are quick to react to the damaging impact areas, however, it ended up being too easy to avoid the damage areas entirely.

With that said, the recent nerf to Roadhog's Chain Hook and Scrap Gun one-shot combo was quite heavy-handed, and as a result, he'll be much less powerful than he was before the latest balance patch.

However, the changes should make her more balanced and help players with so-so aim get more out of her.Her weapon has some other disadvantages such as needing to charge up and a reduced critical damage multiplier, but we'll be evaluating how much of an effect this change has in combination with the reduced Healing Pylon uptime. This change was made because many Echo players felt like duplicating tanks was always the best option in fights due to their high health pools. If an enemy collides with a wall when struck with the javelin, they take an additional 40 damage and are stunned for an extra 0.

Overwatch 2: Sojourn the Main Target of Nerfs in Season 2

Bastion's rework in Overwatch 2 allows him to be more mobile than ever before while leveraging his minigun's vicious power. Going for headshots will almost always be more effective, especially since quickly emptying Peacekeeper's clip can leave you reloading and thus, defenseless. This makes it incredibly powerful, so Blizzard gave it a three-second cooldown nerf to lower its uptime.Orisa pulls enemies in and gains the effects of Fortify, dealing an area-of-effect attack over 4 seconds of charging. His new A-36 Tactical Grenade ability is also very useful as both a burst damage weapon and as a tool for grenade jumps, allowing Bastion to get in unorthodox positions easily. Echo is largely the same as she was in the original Overwatch, though her Ultimate has been nerfed in a significant way.

She's capable of huge damage from above if you can catch foes off-guard, but unless the map you're on has tall structures you can use to take cover or hide your approach while flying, you'll be easy pickings for an accurate Soldier: 76, Ashe, or Widowmaker. Along with the introduction of Ramattra, the new Shambali Monastery map and the latest battle pass, there are a ton of other changes worth paying attention to. This ability creates a large path on the ground that buffs Kiriko and her allied with increased movement, attack, and reload speed, as well as quicker ability cooldowns.Though Ana will likely be the better pick in most situations because of the power of Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade, Baptiste can be a strong alternative if you have ranged damage characters like Soldier: 76, Sojourn, Ashe, or Cassidy. Blizzard has also reworked Sojourn's primary fire energy gain, making it so that each shot landed flatly gives 5 energy rather than a varying amount determined by damage. They now provide Overhealth, which doesn't have damage reduction properties, although it does reduce the amount of Ultimate charge that enemy players get when they damage you. In Season 3, her Augmented Fusion Driver's falloff range was also significantly reduced from 25 meters to 15, making the weapon ineffective beyond close and mid-range.
