We have news from Overwatch 2, which we have been waiting for for a long time. The game, which unearthed new details in a live broadcast last night, will come with brand new maps and character edits. The Blizzard team, which broadcasts live for close to 3 hours, focused on the PvP wing of Overwatch 2;
First of all, let’s talk about the changes that will be experienced at the heart of the game. In Overwatch 2, the number of teams will be reduced to 5. The teams will consist of two supports, two damages and one tank hero, thus eliminating the concept of “off-tank”. Blizzard says this change is very important.
AaronKeller, who inherited the flag from Jeff Kaplan, says the change is the next step in the Overwatch realm. As you know, there was a time when the PROFESSIONAL scene was dominated by goats meta, causing Blizzard to play the “role lock” system. With Overwatch 2, the team doesn’t want to make that mistake again.
Let’s also mention that with the new game, some characters will undergo significant changes. The team seems to be working a lot of time, especially on Bastion. Blizzard announced that it would seriously change the character’s gameplay, while also signaling that we will see these changes soon.
One of the characters that is clear to change will be Mei. Mei, who will still inflict damage and slowing down with the ice gun, will lose the ability to freeze completely.
