Season 12 of Overwatch 2 introduced loads of new issues final month, and now that we’re within the mid-season level of the replace, it’s time for Director Aaron Keller to run down reception and changes due for the shooter.
First, Keller expresses delight that the brand new help character Juno has been so well-received and a few aid that gamers are in a position to counter her lock-on capability. As of now, she sits within the “protected however robust class” by way of her energy – exactly the place the staff is searching for her to be.
Whereas Juno may be in the appropriate spot, Season 12’s conflict mode is due for a number of extra tweaks together with rising match size, incentivizing attacking different goal factors, rising the sense of equity in favor of the attacking aspect, and persevering with to maintain matches clear and comprehensible. These tweaks are deliberate to reach in sequential chunks, whereas a mid-season steadiness go plans to scale back among the survivability of tank characters.
In different Overwatch information, the promised trailer for Blizzard’s collaboration with itself (aka the World of Warcraft occasion) has gone reside, and it confirms the collab is actually solely about character skins. The video’s blurb proclaims that these will start on September seventeenth.
