Juno BUFFED, Illari and Tracer NERFED in the latest hotfix - Overwatch 2

Juno has been out for three days, and we are seeing the first hotfix—a small one.

After the test event a few months ago, the team made some changes to her comfort of life and utility, in addition to nerfing her healing output—nothing too dramatic.

Yesterday, Alec Dawson tweeted that Juno is actually “quite balanced and trending upwards”. And that there still are “some things they want to look at feels wise.” Which is the update for today. In addition to Juno, there were nerfs for Illari and Tracer. Let's have a look.

And Sombra remains destroying backlines

The devs bouncing tracer's dmg from 6 to 5.5 every two seasons like ping pong

As someone who HAS played Juno for multiple hours, I can tell you that she definitely needed it, I wouldn’t say I am the most accurate, but her weapon still is pretty bad at dealing damage unless you hit every shot (which is impossible). It feels like running into a sword fight with a stick. You’re damage isn’t even noticeable half of the time, and you can’t do much at range because the falloff was absolutely absurd (although that might’ve just been that glitch they mentioned)
However idk what people are talking about with the healing, her heals are pretty darn good

[peeks]

Also yes the old fire rate really just felt better than it does now

[hillwoop]

They nerfed Illari's rifle but they don't understand the thing that makes Illari frustrating is her infinite resource auto healing turret that can stick to ceilings and behind cover.

Juno felt fine to me, I never had a game where she felt too strong or too weak. The reason people think she feels weak is because her optimal position to play from is 40m on the outskirts of the fight, which is where her falloff begins, so she isn't doing her full damage potential. The damage buff is a good move I think.

Juno has some glaring issues, that are mostly about the feel and not the numbers
- biggest issue: it ssems Blizz wants her in close to mid to range, but she neihter has the surviability, nor the dmg or escape... forget trying to run away from any dive hero, basically impossible, especially with buffed sombra
- her glide: stil feels bad, either make it have layers u can switch between like ground-jump-d.jump height, or just let it reset her double-jump (as requested by an ungodly ammount of people already)
- alternate-fire: its needs to lock-on all targets at the same speed and not depending on the range, or let her shoot with primary fire at the same time

GOOD HOTFIX! appreciate the devs making changes quickly

[Kaho_Shibuya]

Well Mauga is still annoying and he hasn't been reworked. So that's BS.

[Kneefill]

We all played Juno during the Beta, we have a point of comparison. She’s weaker and generally people noticed. Yes some people act like experts but this situation is different. That’s why I fell i don’t agree with your pov on it. but keep up the great content!!

[MutatedAmerican]

Juno, a well liked and balanced hero when in trial, is now clunky to shoot and their solution is more damage. Smh
Meanwhile, Illari can still two tap headshot 250 characters. Hanzo, a DPS, cant. Smh

[pvinkreverie]

Illari gets nerfed again... It's okay.

Thanks for the quick update! 💪❤

[Camenye]

So we’re nerfing illari and tracer but sombra and tanks are still op

[arsonne]

Can't wait for more Sombra and Orisa buffs /s

[gwit]

I think they should change her drone tag ability thing to be usable while shooting. Maybe it would be too powerful, but it feels awkward to stop healing during a fight to use it.

[DankPit]

These changes feel pointless to me given how little time we’ve had to play. Guess we’ll find out?

[sirrubensandwich]

great hotfix but its unfortunate to see nothing happening to Dva, oh

[demigurlxd]

😢every game I play the juno on my teams healing output is like 4k per 10 mins

[NovaPersonal]

If you're playing Juno and focusing damage you're not going to get the best from her kit. I average anywhere between 6000-8000 healing a match. Recently I've been getting closer to 10000 healing. She's okay healing wise. Moira on the other hand...
