Overwatch 2 June 28 Update: Full Patch Notes Listed
We’ve been hearing rumors for quite some time about some changes coming to Cassidy, Mei, and Lifeweaver, and they’ve finally landed. The ridiculous tracking on the Magnetic Grenade has been fine-tuned, and Mei will finally get back some of her crowd control. Let’s dive into the full details.
HERO UPDATES
We’d like for Magnetic Grenade to require slightly more demanding aim and intention in its use, especially at the longer ranges. The following adjustments will enable more counterplay for some heroes with quick reactions to be able to escape before the grenade sticks to them as well.
Despite the primary fire gameplay feeling more interesting now, Mei’s effectiveness overall was negatively impacted by the trade in damage for more slowing utility. We’re shifting some of that power back into her damage.
Maximum slow applied when this effect activates reduced from 75% to 65%.
LIFEWEAVER
Lifeweaver provides a lot of healing and defensive utility but struggles with the consistency of his offensive damage output when not in close range. As he typically wants to position himself further away from his allies, these changes will enable well-aimed burst fire with the Thorn Volley weapon to be more effective at applying pressure to the enemy team.
