• Healing reduced from 7 to 6.5.

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

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.

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.

We’ll be running at least one Quick Play: Hacked based on this idea in Season 13

Are you in SA server?

According to them, It's a known issue in SA region

Update regarding high ping in South American regions

Earlier today, we issued a fix for high ping in South American regions. We’re expecting things to improve over the next couple of days, and we apologize for any inconvenience during this mitigation!

To the heroes of Overwatch,

We want to keep you up to date on some of the bugs and issues we’re aware of that are affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather, this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate y’all’s understanding. Our team is working to resolve these issues, and we will provide more information as soon as we have updates!

Current Issues

• Illari has been disabled for Competitive Play as we investigate an issue with her ammunition not resetting correctly.
• We are investigating an issue where crosshair settings is not working correctly when setting the center gap.
• Career Profile may not be updating correctly for console players.
• Some players are experiencing an LC-208 error.

I don't understand the downvotes as well. OWWC is fun to watch and to support, even if we know that Korean or US may win again.

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).

JUNKERTOWN UPDATE

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%.

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.

I missed OWWC. I think it's one of the best ideas from Blizzard in the competitive scene.

Hero Updates

Tank

Ramattra

Nemesis Form

• Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.
• Base armor reduced from 100 to 75.
• Base health reduced from 275 to 250.

Zarya

Particle Barrier

• Shared cooldown increased from 10 to 11 seconds.
• Duration reduced from 2.5 to 2.25 seconds.

Projected Barrier

• Shared cooldown increased from 10 to 11 seconds.
• Duration reduced from 2.5 to 2.25 seconds.

Damage

Pharah

• Base health reduced from 250 to 225

Support

Illari

Healing Pylon

• Cooldown increased from 12 to 14 seconds

Captive Sun

• Ultimate cost increased 12%

Lúcio

Sonic Amplifier

• Knockback reduced by 10%

New Map: Runasapi

• Push map

Hero Updates

General

• Knockdown time when two charging abilities collide reduced from 2 to 1.7 seconds.

Developer Comments: This stun time reduction applies to the knockdown that happens when two charging abilities collide and result in a tie (with Reinhardt, Doomfist, Brigitte, Mauga, Bob). The counterplay and interaction of two charging abilities impacting each other is great, but it took both players out of the fight a little too long.

Tank

D.Va

Developer Comments: These changes will improve D.Va’s effectiveness against smaller targets as she became less effective against armored enemies in the previous patch.

Fusion Cannons

• Weapon spread reduced from 3.75 to 3.375 degrees.

Boosters

• Impact damage increased from 15 to 25.

Junker Queen

Developer Comments: The Tank knockback resistance passive was affecting Junker Queen’s pull effect more than intended. The distance can be affected by their movement, but Tanks are now pulled in about 5-6 meters instead of only 3 meters or so.

Jagged Blade

• Now pulls tanks further.

Rampage

• Startup time reduced from 0.75 to 0.5 seconds.

Orisa

Developer Comments: Orisa’s survivability was reduced more than necessary in her last round of changes so we’re partially reverting the cooldown increase to Javelin Spin.

Javelin Spin

• Cooldown reduced from 9 to 8 seconds.

Roadhog

Developer Comments: Roadhog’s already-powerful survivability increased significantly with the headshot damage reduction from the tank role passive so these changes are to help bring that back in line.

• Base health reduced from 650 to 600.

Take a Breather

• Damage reduction reduced from 50 to 40%.

Damage

Cassidy

Developer Comments: We’re reverting the Magnetic Grenade ability to be deployed like Cassidy’s previous Flashbang ability, but it will keep the Hinder effect instead of a full stun. We’ve heard feedback surrounding the Magnetic Grenade ability and agree that while the fantasy of a homing grenade was fun, the moment-to-moment gameplay of it often felt too unpredictable as to whether it would land or not. The Hinder effect has been a useful tool to act as a counter to highly mobile heroes without going back to a full stun and the enemy player losing the ability to fight back.

The Deadeye ultimate is getting an adjustment to increase its flexibility toward the end of its duration, enabling it to get value outside of buying time for Cassidy or his allies, though it may be riskier to hold it for a long time as the damage reduction will fade away along with the movement speed penalty.

Peacekeeper

• Secondary fire “Fan the Hammer” damage reduced from 50 to 45.

Combat Roll

• Damage reduction reduced from 75 to 50%.

Flashbang

• Magnetic Grenade ability is now Flashbang.
• Hinders enemies instead of Stunning them for 1.2 seconds.
• Movement speed reduction increased from 30% to 50%.
• Hinder now prevents crouching movement.
• 45 explosive damage.
• 12 second cooldown.

Deadeye

• Movement speed penalty now scales down over time, from 70% to 35%.
• Damage reduction now scales down over time, from 40% to 0%.

Mei

Developer Comments: Mei’s damage output over time is intended to be on the low end for a Damage hero, as she offers strong utility and survivability through her ability kit, but we would like to make the secondary fire icicle more rewarding by increasing the damage and slightly more difficult to land consistently.

Endothermic Blaster

• Secondary fire base projectile size reduced from 0.15 to 0.12 meters.
• Secondary fire damage increased from 75 to 85.

Reaper

Developer Comments: With the previous patch change to how armor reduces damage, shotgun weapon heroes like Reaper lost some value since much of their gameplan revolved around pressuring large tank heroes. To help shift Reaper toward being more effective against smaller targets we’re tightening the weapon spread on the Hellfire Shotguns and reducing the amount of time enemies have to react to his Shadow Step teleport.

Hellfire Shotguns

• Weapon spread reduced from 6.5 to 6 degrees.

Shadow Step

• Cast time reduced from 1.5 to 1.2 seconds.

Sojourn

Developer Comments: This change is reducing the burst damage potential of the secondary fire Railgun shot to both lessen frustration from playing against that burst damage, and to shift power into her sustained primary fire damage. This should smooth out the feast-or-famine nature of Sojourn consistently hitting the secondary fire shots.

Railgun

• Secondary fire damage scaling reduced from 30-130 damage down to 1-100 damage.
• Secondary fire projectile no longer requires Overclock to pierce enemy players.
• Primary fire shots per second increased from 14 to 16.

Overclock

• Energy charge rate increased from 100 to 120 per second.

Symmetra

Developer Comments: To help solidify Symmetra as a close-range threat, we’re increasing her health to better survive in that range, along with how quickly her primary fire beam damage ramps up.

• Base health increased from 100 to 125 (Total health increased from 250 to 275).

Photon Projector

• Primary fire charge rate increased 25%.

Support

Illari

Developer Comments: Illari’s Healing Pylon is intended to be useful for healing her team in relatively safe positions without much focus required, which enables her to either apply pressure with her primary fire or spot heal in bursts from her more limited secondary fire healing beam. To encourage this, it now has improved health and healing output, but is less effective when Illari uses it to heal herself.

Outburst

• Damage increased from 10 to 25.

Healing Pylon

• Healing per projectile increased from 30 to 40.
• Pylon healing is now only half as effective when targeting Illari.
• Max health increased from 100 to 125.

Kiriko

Developer Comments: “Hard knockdown stuns” refer to most all of the existing knockdowns where the player is stunned and laying on the ground (such as Reinhardt’s Earthshatter), with the exception of Ana’s Sleep Dart effect, which is removed upon taking damage or Protection Suzu’s cleanse.

Swift Step

• Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.

Protection Suzu

• No longer cleanses hard knockdown stuns.

I tried Hazard and can definitely confirm it's a bit broken, especially when paired with good supports. I had a lot of fun and could climb quickly, since many tanks don’t know how to control the game pace.

Probably they will buff her slowly, until players starts complaining about other players exploiting her abilities to solo kill Zen, Ana, or any heroes without mobility skills. The Sombra patching loop.

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.
