Overwatch 2 patch fixes wrecking ball, breaks Roadhog instead

The Overwatch 2-Beta has received its first big patch with heroic balance sheets and error fixes, many of which aimed to take into account the feedback from the players last week. Based on a recently published blog post by the Overwatch development team, the patch tries to promise better queue times, a refined heroic balance and new moves and skills to make the support role more attractive for players.

Therefore, a highlight of the patch contains a new ability for Zenyatta, "Snap Kick", which gives the regular melee attack of the Omnic monk a significant increase in recoil. The movement was inserted as a means to remedy the lack of mobility and endurance of the hero in the nearby attacks and represents an intelligent addition to the healer's equipment.

In order to shorten the queue times, the development team has reintroduced the open queue quick game mode, a function that cancel the role lock for teams and offers the players more opportunities to play the hero that they want without having to do themselves. While this tactic has not achieved great success in the original Overwatch game, it enables players to play freely with sought-after heroes like Sojourn.

With regard to error fixes, this patch wrecking ball in the beta brings back into a playable state, after it was previously crashed due to an error that would always bring the client from whom the client was excluded from the selection. The problem was. In this early build of the game, so widespread that the hamster was forced to suspend the overwatch League 2022 this weekend.

However, while the team has resolved a tank hero error, they apparently introduced another-this time with changes to roadhog's equipment. "Whole Hog" - Roadhogs Ultimate - has experienced significant changes to increase its benefits, but according to Dexertohaben, the players discovered that there is a lack of maximum fire rate, which means that the ultimate around itself completely wipes out with enough clicks.

Elsewhere in the patch, we find more changes to the legs, including a reduction in the running speed of Soldier: 76 and Sombra and a strengthening of Sojourn's power slide ability, while the developers are trying to compensate for the recent changes to their old squad with the introduction of the mobility -oriented kit of Sojourn.

There are many other smaller hero changes on the complete Overwatch 2-patchnotes, especially with regard to support, since the development team is balanced the new passive healing buff, which has recently been implemented in the beta. For those who try to access the beta, read how the Overwatch League offers up to 1,500 beta codes per hour on its opening weekend.
