I just dove into the latest Overwatch 2 drop on March 25th! The patch notes are chock-full of details about a whopping 11 hero tweaks. There’s some good news for Roadhog and Widowmaker fans, as they’ve received buffs. On the flip side, Winston and Mauga players might notice a bit of a slowdown, as their abilities have been toned down a notch.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming changes in Overwatch 2 Season 16, even though it’s still a few weeks away. Blizzard is stirring things up in our favorite game with some significant balance adjustments! A total of 11 heroes across all roles are getting tweaked, with some characters undergoing quite dramatic transformations.
For example, Mauga’s equipment has undergone four significant changes that lessen its power. Conversely, characters such as Cassidy and Soldier: 76 will now inflict slightly increased damage during team battles.
There’s a significant overhaul, and more information about all the recent changes to Overwatch 2 is provided in detail below.
