[KarQ]

Update - This was from BETA 1.0 Patch (Apr 27 - May 5 2022).
I will be making an updated balance change vid on the Season 1 release of Overwatch 2 (October 4th, 2022) and link it here.



Season 1 (Oct 4, 2022): TBD

[ItsDanbo]

From this video, overwatch 2 basically just:
- increased health
- decreased damage
- no more stun moves

[alexmyska]

I find it strange that Bastion’s ult is called just “Artillery” and not “Configuration: Artillery”

[SharpieBS]

I love how the devs were just like: “right we dont want self heal what do we add instead?” A36 TACTICAL GRENADE

[dillanvroom]

That content team really ripping to get a super polished video out in ~8 hours post beta launch. Impressed!

[Spaceboy]

Soldier actually recieved a nerf
His gun now sounds like a helicopter instead of a cool laser gun

[quantumtwinspark]

This is a neat little update for Overwatch. Glad these updates are free little tweaks to the original game and Blizzard isn't trying to sell the same game twice or something crazy like that.

[HatredSonneillon]

Role passive is a big buff to some characters. Like Ana now heals without needing to use nade. Thats really nice.

[Fitzyhere]

Thanks for all of the comparison KarQ! This takes an insane amount of time.

[SelBoi]

According to the fact that Reaper's and Moira's fade capacities can still be used in Zarya's or Sigma's ult, if you time it right, I guess you can avoid taking damages so it does kinda work in a way

[Lunyoo]

keep in mind that the new meta will affect some of the DPS who didn't get changes... less shields will affect Hanzo and Genji for example, or even Torb's turret.
Also they all get a new passive :10 % speed boost which is huge on heroes like Sym

[Alan]

Im worried that no CC would mean that a lot of the mobility based heroes will be harder to counter

[enlil]

I like the removal of a lot of the CC abilities, means a healthier game where you aren’t getting cheesed at random. But with the removal of a lot of CC doesn’t this just mean Dive comps are gonna be like super oppressive with nothing to stop their momentum.

[mist]

awesome vid! thanks for making a reasonably long video, really didn’t wanna watch a 40+ minute video just for changes.

[svndve]

11:26 In OW2, Mei’s Endothermic Blaster now pierces through enemies, which basically makes her a better Symmetra lol

[FractalPrism.]

Sombra: torb turret it does not start attacking you even though you're "revealed" during a stealth hack.
however, moira orb does attack you if you're revealed during a stealth hack.

[sagetarus]

I was okay with Mei not being able to escape (and was glad her cryofreeze didn't just shatter on impact and deal damage in gravitic flux), but I don't really agree with Reaper and Moira not being able to. These characters are meant to quite literally disappear and end up somewhere you might not expect. They lose physical properties and should be able to escape those things. As a Sigma player, you should know not to flux those heroes unless they're on cooldown.

Edit: fixed my misconception about their abilities. Lore wise, Reaper breaks into a cloud of particles/gas. In game he is the same, but is completely invulnerable *AND* is said to be able to pass right through enemies.

Lore wise for Moira, fade is the perfected product of Reaper's wraith form. I haven't found anything else about it online. Feel free to look. In game, Moira can fade jump and *completely* disappear and reappear. (and might be able to pass through enemies?)

Particles affected by gravity is a common rebuttal but, as mentioned, Reaper and Moira can fade jump canonically. Thus, both of these abilities can be seen reducing the effects of gravity. Reaper cannot fade jump in game, but his "particles" are impervious to damage and player interaction.

Moira still disappears completely from sight. With her theme of stealing life force, I would assume she just disintegrates all of her cells and grabs new ones and recombines them to be her again or something.

Either way, gameplay-wise, not being able to escape Sig ult doesn't make any sense. Don't reward Sig for bad plays. Sure you can use the ability to dodge the damage, but now your movement option is gone.

Since we're on the topic, escaping Zarya's should also be a thing. It's described as a "gravity well", not a self-collapsing black hole. If it was a black hole, maybe I'd agree that those particles shouldn't be able to escape.

[Jamie-kkfq]

Zaryas not gonna be able to fill the one tank role, she's a good dps/tank hybrid but she's going to struggle as the only tank on a team, especially with only 450 health

[HeavenlyLava]

Thank you for this incredibly informative video without it being over 30 minutes, especially with timestamps! You're the best

[rosemorningstar]

Genji did actually receive changes but not numerical. His combo now works how it used to ages ago where you Rmb->melee->dash instead of dash->rmb->melee. The way the animation canceling works is different and more fluid. It’s actually pretty huge for genji mains
