Here's a pretty good video that goes over every change from OW1 to OW2 to watch while the game is down (WHILE YOU ALSO GO OUTSIDE AND GET SOME FRESH AIR NERDS). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgczDOhCqjI

There are even nerfs I didn't realize (like tracer's damage going down).
Karq videos are good. Added that to the OP.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

yea Zarya's a national celebrity, they'd never let her anywhere near combat

this is a better avatar than what I had before
I love the 5-man format and the beefed up tanks. The only thing I will say is that it seems like the damage projection characters are way, way stronger. I'm a bigtime pharah main and right now if I don't get counterpicked I can make a way bigger impact to the game because I can just shoot the poo poo out of people and only have one tank soaking damage instead of two. Soldier 76 and laser shot lady whose name I forget feel the same as well.

Buff: Osira can now negate damage like Dva's protective field.

Nerf: Sombra's left leg has been removed.

I'm not in game so I can't check, but it's there an option to select your communication device in audio settings?

Also make sure your windows audio settings have communication device as the same as your headphones or whatever output you use.

Got a handful of W's in Paraiso arcade games as Kiriko before maintenance. Yeah, she's pretty great. Starting to vibe with how her healing feels a bit more now and right clicking perched Widows and Ashes is so satisfying. Spamming heals and smoke bombs in her ult is fun as hell lol.

Yeah, Sombra might be the only dps that got a pure buff, though its more like a change than a straight up buff. Most of the rest of them just got nerfs. CC and utility was removed and not really replaced.

But if you go through that video, it should be apparent that DPS got the short end of a really short stick compared to other heroes, just in general.

Her silence was cut by a huge margin in exchange for a damage buff that would make her role the same as most other flankers. I mean it might be better numerically but it's more boring that way.

It's less stupid to play against which is one of the defining design goals of overwatch 2

Rein: No longer has his passive because it was given to all tanks by default, has more HP/armor, has two charges of fire strike, ult basically instantly kills anyone who is point blank, can steer charge at ludicrous angles now and stop it at will but it does slightly less damage, slight shield nerf
Mei: Primary fire no longer freezes, but hey, it does slightly less poo poo damage now. Ice walls break easily, ult harder to get

Orisa: Is invincible, has a ranged stun that cancels abilities
Reaper/tracer: damage nerfed for some reason, no additional utility provided

Zen: Can kick people across the universe
McCree: More clunky, has no flash bang, just a weird homing mine thing

I mean, the list goes on and on.

Are you literally incapable of contextualizing these changes with the rest of the game or are you really arguing that DPS are strictly worse all around because of what the patch notes have listed for numbers?

I mean I know the answer given how many times you’ve already been corrected by everyone. But still. Lol.
