Overwatch 2 announces Hero nerfs in upcoming patch: Zarya, Genji, D.Va, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Overwatch 2 came out recently. Despite being buggy at launch, the game saw a massive surge in the number of players over the next few days. That said, the title isn't without its issues. One of the prime problems that the game has seen so far concerns the unbalanced hero pool. To make things right in this regard, the developers have finally announced certain nerfs for the upcoming patch.

Bastion was a broken hero. He was so overpowered that he had to be completely removed from the game for a good while. Presently, some characters are extremely strong, while others are super weak. And this a problem the upcoming patch looks to fix to a certain extent.

The developers have finally addressed the concerns of the community and are planning to release a patch to fix the pertinent issues that the game is witnessing. Here is the list of heroes that will be receiving a nerf in the upcoming update, along with the alterations that they will be seeing:

Sombra

Genji

Zarya

D.va

Kiriko

All these nerfs will hit the servers on November 15, which is over two weeks from now. What's interesting is the fact that Genji has been receiving continuous downgrades, much to the disappointment of the community. However, the developers are yet to do anything about Sojourn, a hero that the community believes is completely broken at this point.

Moreover, given that the game has been out for a while now, it's hard to understand why the nerfs are taking so long to arrive. Considering how unbalanced the characters are, such changes should have made their way to the title sooner.

It was recently discovered that some really problematic custom rooms exist in Overwatch 2. They propagated some disturbing themes and were accessible to anyone and everyone who had a code.
