5 Characters Who Need Their Role Changed in Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 is introducing an entirely new dynamic to the beloved hero shooter. A plethora of changes are being made to how each hero plays and their role within the team. Some of these changes are minor tweaks and balances, while others are complete reworks and redesigns.

One of the most notable changes to a current hero is the switching of Doomfist, previously a DPS character, to a tank. Blizzard announced just before the release of the Overwatch 2 beta that Doomfist’s kit was getting altered to better suit him for the role of tank. Since the sequel only allows one tank per team, this type of change shakes up the competitive meta even more. However, when looking at all the changes being made, it is clear that there are other heroes who would benefit from a role change.

Bastion has received many reworks to abilities and his ultimate. Even during the original Overwatch beta, he had different features, such as a self-deploying shield when entering sentry configuration. As such, it was no surprise when it was announced that Bastion is getting a slue of alterations in Overwatch 2.

These changes make Bastion a more mobile powerhouse that now transforms into an artillery unit through his ultimate, which seems to make the character better equipped to act as a tank. If given more health and armor, Bastion would be perfectly suited to act as a solo tank whose job is to disrupt the enemy’s momentum.

Orisa recently received a hefty rework for Overwatch 2. Many of her shield and stopping abilities have been removed in favor of more mobile and offensive skills. With Doomfist transitioning to a tank, Orisa would benefit from taking his place as DPS.
