Overwatch 2 D.Va and Sombra Nerfs Explained
Overwatch 2's Lead Hero Designer has confirmed multiple balance changes are on the way for the mid-Season 12 patch in September.
As Overwatch 2 Season 12 reaches its halfway point, a significant balance update is fast approaching, scheduled to coincide with the World of Warcraft crossover on September 17.
Alec Dawson, the Hero Designer, announced various changes aimed at adjusting the current tank meta. With D.Va dominating the leaderboards, nerfs are specifically targeted at her strength. According to Dawson, tanks have become much harder to punish due to recent buffs, necessitating these adjustments.
- D.Va has been a dominant force, utilizing armor buffs and mobility to overwhelm opponents.
- Nerfs will focus on her armor and defensive passives.
Further Changes Expected for Sombra
The developers also hinted at upcoming nerfs for Sombra, reviewing her stealth duration and other abilities.
While discussing the newest hero, Juno, Dawson indicated that adjustments may be made to her ultimate as the team closely monitors her performance in competitive play.
As the patch date approaches, players should keep an eye out for further updates and possibly take advantage of D.Va's current state while they can.
