Overwatch 2 beta gets another mid-cycle patch

Blizzard has made further changes to its Overwatch 2 hero roster in another beta mid-cycle patch.

Six more heroes have had their abilities tweaked in a bid to rebalance the game ahead of its formal release, including Doomfist, Junker Queen, Orisa, Sojourn, Symmetra, and Zenyatta.

Doomfist’s changes include minimum damage required to empower Rocket Punch reduced from 100 to 90 damage, and the movement speed penalty while blocking reduced from 50 to 35 per cent. They will also now deal damage to all enemies knocked back “instead of only the first target impacted”.

Junker Queen has her Commanding Shout radius reduced from 20 to 15 metres, her allied bonus health now decays over its duration, although its maximum duration has been boosted from four to five seconds. Her Rampage radius, however, has dropped from six to five meters.
