If the phrase “Minefield Deployed” elicits a slight cringe, then you’re likely well-acquainted with Overwatch’s charming yet perilous tank hero, Wrecking Ball. It seems that this divisive hero (more on that later) will undergo a significant overhaul in Season 10 of Overwatch 2.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

For those curious about how this rework will impact Wrecking Ball and the community’s sentiments on the matter, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we’ll delve into everything we know about the Season 10 rework for Wrecking Ball in Overwatch 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrecking Ball Rework is Coming to Overwatch 2 in Season 10<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a recent blog post<\/a> titled “Overwatch 2 Directors Take,” it was revealed that there’s a “small rework coming to our lovable-yet-deranged hamster in Season 10.” With Season 9 concluding in early April, and Season 10 scheduled to commence around April 7, 2024, there’s still some time before the revamped Wrecking Ball tank hero makes its debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the specifics of this rework remain elusive at the moment, as developers tend to keep their plans closely guarded when it comes to hero adjustments and reworks. Nonetheless, the community’s sentiment regarding this upcoming change is fairly apparent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrecking Ball is widely regarded as one of the most challenging tanks to master in the game, if not the most difficult, owing to his ability to maneuver in three dimensions with his grapple hook, along with his wide bullet spray and unmatched speed compared to other tanks. This complexity has led to frustration among players, as highlighted by a Reddit user named singPing<\/a> in a discussion about a potential Wrecking Ball rework.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans have responded to the idea of a Wrecking Ball rework by asking the developers to properly balance the tank, or even consider moving him over to the DPS role. (Picture: Blizzard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this discussion, there was speculation about transitioning Wrecking Ball to a DPS role<\/a>, although the feasibility of such a change remains dubious given the constraints of hero role assignments. Nevertheless, it underscores the community’s desire for a rework that renders Wrecking Ball more approachable to play with and against.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the developers’ perspective, lead hero designer Alec Dawson has expressed concerns about Wrecking Ball’s design, particularly his original conception as a tank meant to be played alongside another tank in the six-player team format of Overwatch 1. Therefore, it’s likely that the rework will aim to better align the hero with a traditional tank role<\/a>, potentially making him more accessible or appropriately challenging for players in Season 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of now, we’ll have to wait for further details regarding the specifics of the Wrecking Ball rework in Season 10. Rest assured, once the details are made public, we’ll provide updates accordingly.
