Overwatch 2: All the hero reworks so far

polygon.com:

Overwatch 2’s first beta is now live, giving players a taste of substantial changes coming to Blizzard Entertainment’s hero shooter. Those changes include a new five-hero team structure, a new hero, a new ping system, and substantial reworks to multiple characters.

In the Overwatch2 beta, players will find very different versions of Bastion, Doomfist, Orisa, and Sombra on the roster. Other heroes, like Reinhardt, Zarya, Cassidy, and Winston, have also received ability changes that update their kit in key ways. In general, there are fewer ways to stun enemies, and each role type has its own passive perks: tanks receive less knockback, damage characters get a speed boost, and all support characters automatically heal themselves over time.

Here’s a breakdown of the hero changes in Overwatch2’s beta test — and presumably going forward.

The terrifying turret Bastion is seeing some of the biggest changes in Overwatch 2. His Self-Repair ability is gone, meaning he can no longer heal himself. He can still switch between Recon mode, his mobile form, and Assault mode, his tank form, but the latter now lets Bastion move and is on a cooldown. Bastion also has a new alt-fire attack, the A-36 Tactical Grenade, which fires a bomb that bounces off walls and explodes when it impacts enemies or hits the ground.

Bastion’s Ultimate ability has also been redesigned. Rather than transforming into a mobile tank with a powerful cannon, Bastion instead goes into Artillery mode, firing up to three powerful artillery shells that rain down on targets.

Doomfist moves from a damage role to a tank role, with a boost in health and a new Power Block ability, which protects him from the front and can empower his Rocket Punch. Doomfist’s Hand Cannon,
