Overwatch 2 dva3/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Dev Comment: Early player sentiment predicted Zarya as one of the weakest solo tanks in 5v5 though her high damage potential and barrier uptime have proven to be extremely effective.Barrier cooldown increased from 10 to 11 seconds.Barrier duration reduced from 2.5 to 2 seconds.These changes will bring Genji more in line with the other flanking damage heroes. We also saw that, in early beta tests, other flanking Heroes such as Tracer and Reaper were also significantly more effective in OW2. Changing to a single Tank and the reduction of crowd control has meant Genji has had less obstacles in his way, however he hasn’t received tuning updates since he wasn’t actively in the meta until launch (something also informed by our general preference to avoid preemptive adjustments when possible). Dev Comment: Genji is a Hero that has greatly benefited from the move to 5v5. ![]() She can also no longer channel hack on an already hacked target as feedback indicated the reduced cooldown combined with hacking from stealth proved to be too frustrating for many players. This has proven to be too deadly for a flanker with easy access to the enemy backlines. Dev Comment: With Sombra’s rework, she gained a lot more damage to help account for the reduced ability lockout duration of Hack.Hacked damage multiplier reduced from 40 to 25%.Hacked enemies are no longer valid targets for hacking for the duration of the effect.Hack ability lockout duration reduced from 1.75 to 1.5 seconds. ![]()
