Overwatch 2 has found itself in an interesting position recently following the launch of Marvel Rivals. Although NetEase’s new title has certainly drawn away some of its player base, Overwatch 2<\/a> still boasts a substantial audience and remains dedicated to improving the game to keep players engaged. With their latest hero hotfix patch, the developers appear to be making small but positive strides forward – let’s dive into the details below.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Recent Hero Hotfix May Signals A Better Future for Overwatch 2<\/span><\/h2>\n

As most players have noticed, the recent Hero Hotfix for Overwatch 2<\/a> introduced a series of buffs and nerfs targeting some of the game’s most polarizing characters: Hazard, Sojourn, and Widowmaker. Hazard saw a slight nerf to his forward guard, while Sojourn’s Railgun <\/span>deteriorates<\/span> slightly earlier. However, the most attention-grabbing change is to Widowmaker – her scoped shots no longer benefit from projectile size increases.<\/span><\/p>\n
