This change necessitates some dramatic reworks for various members of the Overwatch 2 roster, with Blizzard recently revealing exactly how it's changing Doomfist and Orisa in the upcoming sequel.

Overwatch 2 is changing Doomfist from a Damage hero to a Tank, and as one might imagine, this will include major changes to his kit. To make Doomfist a tankier character, Blizzard is upping his health to 450, while buffing his Hand Cannon so that ammo recovers every 0.4 seconds.

Doomfist's Ultimate, Meteor Strike, will now slow enemies when they're hit and can be used in 0.5 seconds, though its outer ring damage is being reduced.
