![]() ![]() Blizzard is trying to find more of an identity for Doomfist and is thinking about buffing his power block to put more of an emphasis on his empowered rocket punch. Blizzard is keeping an eye on her balance wise for Season 2. The Kiriko swift step change is not meant to be a balance change, but more of a Quality-of-Life change for opponents, to prevent things like Kiriko teleporting into a reaper ultimate and not dying. This type of balancing is what you should expect from a minor patch. Blizzard was concerned D.va would be too weak on the launch of Overwatch 2, because she performed quite poorly during the betas for Overwatch 2, so blizzard is rolling back some of the buffs she received prior to launch. Currently, Zarya’s uptime on her Bubble’s was so high she could just kind of walk forward mindlessly and have little room for counter play. Blizzard wants Zarya players to have to put more thought into their ability usage. Blizzard believes Genji’s burst damage was too high compared to other flanking heroes like Reaper and wants to bring Genji more in line with them. Genji was performing very well at all levels of play. Blizzard is still trying to find a sweet spot for Sombra. Sombra’s damage was too high, and Blizzard wants to prevent chain hacking since they believed it was too powerful and too frustrating to play against. The Season One mid season balance change is a bit later due to issues on Blizzard's end. Midseason balance patches should be about 4 weeks into the season. For example, blizzard is looking at potentially changing Brigette’s ultimate for a future season launch. Major patches will be more proactive and include more design changes, as opposed to tuning changes with heroes. Minor patches during the season, while major patches will be with season launches. Blizzard will do minor and major patches for hero balance. Overwatch 2’s season three is live now on all platforms.Blizzard recently hosted a Twitter space with Lead Hero Designer Alec Dawson, going into detail on their how they approach Hero Balance for Overwatch 2.īelow are the highlights from the space, which includes the details and reasoning for the upcoming changes on November 15th! A few weeks later, it appears the message has been received loud and clear by Blizzard, whether the coloration was intentional or not. The thread was filled with others who shared the same sentiment. “It’s a corporate ‘oopsie whoopsie!’ to fool people into thinking the Battle Pass has more value than it does to increase the sales, and then say “we’re sorry you thought these were actually useful coins! It was an honest mistake, really.'” “Definitely intentional,” one Reddit commenter said on Feb. ![]() When the battle pass went live earlier this month, some players took to Reddit to complain that the change was “intentional” and meant to dupe players into thinking that the battle pass included premium currency, when it in fact does not. Previously, the legacy tokens in the battle pass had a yellow color to them, very similar to OW Coins, which are gold. ![]() Legacy Tokens are leftover currency from the original Overwatch and are only used to acquire older skins and items, and nothing new must be purchased with OW Coins. When the game’s new went live a couple of weeks ago, players immediately took to social media to complain about the fact that Legacy Token rewards in the battle pass were the same exact icon and a very similar color as Overwatch Coins, the game’s premium currency. A recent, controversial addition to Overwatch 2′s battle pass system has been changed in a minor update today, possibly due to some fan backlash. ![]()
