The monkey from the Moon will have an alternate fire. His Charge will be easier to control and you can cancel it. The German tank will have two charges of his Fire Strike. Blizzard Entertainment Reinhardt Overwatch 2 Changes Reinhardt's in line for some big changes when 'Overwatch' moves to 5v5. Let’s move onto the (arguably) smaller ability changes. Meteor Strike will slow all enemies it connects with unless it eliminates them.This means that on the next use of Rocket Punch, he’ll travel further and faster and deal more damage. If he absorbs enough damage, his gauntlet will be supercharged. It reduces incoming damage from the front by 90%. Doomfist has a defensive ability called Power Block.Rocket Punch damage is significantly tuned down, so one-shotting squishes is less likely.It can be cancelled into Rocket Punch to help Doomfist reach some serious high ground. Seismic Slam now incorporates vertical movement.That will allow him to keep most of his kit while reducing the number of crowd control abilities among supports and DPS heroes. She can slam down the javelin to cause major damage to them.ĭoomfist will be a tank in Overwatch 2. She gets the effects of Fortify and remains in place while drawing nearby enemies close to her.

It also damages and knocks back enemies on contact.

She will also have slower movement while using Fortify.
#OVERWATCH 2 JUNKRAT DRIVER#
Orisa is immune to status effects for the duration and the heat generated from her Augmented Fusion Driver is tuned down while the ability is active. The projectiles have a damage fall off and shrink in size the further away they get from her. Her primary fire has unlimited ammo and uses an overheat mechanic instead.She no longer has a shield, Halt! or Supercharger abilities.Orisa Overwatch 2 Changes MORE FROM FORBES Orisa's Rework Is One Of Overwatch 2's Biggest And Best Surprises By Kris Holtįor me, Orisa’s changes in Overwatch 2 are the most exciting of all. EMP will deal damage equivalent to 40% of any hacked target’s current health.Sombra can hack without exiting stealth mode, but she’ll be visible during the cast time.Those will remain hacked for 30 seconds instead of the current 60. The Hack cooldown is much shorter though it will not be reduced for health pack hacks.Sombra also deals more damage to hacked targets. Their location will be revealed to Sombra’s teammates through walls for the duration. Hack will only stop enemies from using their abilities for one second, though they’ll remain in a hacked state for longer.I don’t think Sombra’s changes are quite as dramatic as Bastion’s, but they’re still pretty extensive given the big tweaks to how Hack works. Sombra Overwatch 2 Changes MORE FROM FORBES Overwatch 2: Sombra Can Hack Enemies In Stealth Mode By Kris Holt They’ll be rooted to the ground and you can fire three artillery shells anywhere on the map (even from spawn). Bastion’s new Ultimate is called Configuration: Artillery.It has unlimited ammo but will be on a cooldown. Bastion can now move while in Configuration: Sentry (aka turret mode).It can also be used for a self-knockback effect similar to Junkrat’s mine. This can bounce off walls for a short time before exploding, though it will stick to floors and enemies. Replacing Self-Repair is a new right-click ability called Tactical Grenade.The Self-Repair ability is gone, so Bastion can no longer self-heal.But developers have decided to increase her utility to “increase her potential to be a playmaker. Moira is flexible thanks to her mobility and self-healing abilities, helping her to deal with flankers effectively. Symmetra’s Photon Projector is no longer as valuable, something else developers are contemplating. Both heroes excel as shield breakers, but that’s not as impactful as a skill in the new one-tank meta.ĭevelopers are exploring ways to “better reward” Junkrat’s direct hits. Junkrat and Symmetra have been another topic of discussion altogether. It isn’t just support heroes being scrutinized by developers. Possible upcoming hero changes in Overwatch 2 While many players have called Sojourn overpowered during the beta, developers said that she actually felt a “little weak.” This small change will make her weapon faster and increase her magazine size to compensate further, giving her greater firepower. Railgun maximum ammo increased from 40 to 45.Railgun primary rate of fire increased from 13 to 15 shots-per-second.New DPS Sojourn saw some changes to her Railgun: It wasn’t just supports that got an update, however.
