A new balance patch is available for Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch 2, bringing changes to Doomfist, Orisa, Ramattra, Kiriko, Ana, Sojourn and Tracer. Doomfist seemed a little too good after his buffs, so his Rocket Punch cooldown has gone from three to four seconds. The minimum damage mitigated for empowered Rocket Punch has been increased from 80 to 100.
Furthermore, instead of 40 temporary health when hitting a target with his abilities, he now gains 35 health. As for Orisa, her Terra Surge now pierces barriers on impact, while the damage falloff range on her Augmented Fusion Driver is now 25 meters instead of 15. Ramattra’s Nemesis Form now grants 225 Armor while increasing movement speed by 25 percent. His Void Barrier has also had its cooldown reduced from 15 to 13 seconds.
Check out the full patch notes below for more details. As for why Roadhog hasn’t seen changes, the developer said on Reddit that it couldn’t do so “due to a technical issue with our hotfix.” Other heroes have been adjusted to provide “more options to play against him in the short term. Expect more updates in a future patch.”
