The Overwatch 2 <\/em>community is up in arms over the season 11 midseason update, which shook up the meta in several ways.<\/p>

But after the latest update, many players seem to think Blizzard has gone too far. For example, one player<\/a> pointed out that Ramattra now effectively has 1,000 HP in Nemesis form thanks to its buffs along with general tank role buffs.<\/p>
OW2’s<\/a><\/em> tank buffs include an increase to ultimate generation and a nerf to the DPS passive that made tanks take more damage, so the role now feels overtuned and the calls to return to six-vs-six are louder than ever.<\/p>
\u201cDealing damage to tank heroes will be slightly less rewarding with the increased reduction to ultimate generation and will help to balance out the increased healing they may receive with the change to the damage role passive in this patch,\u201d Blizzard said in the patch notes<\/a>.<\/p>
Meanwhile, a July 9 Reddit post<\/a> showed Bastion in turret form firing through a Baptiste ultimate unable to out-damage Mauga before dying, to further illustrate how strong tanks have become.<\/p>
Lead gameplay designer Alec Dawson said on July 8<\/a> that the patch would include the balance team “going bolder” with “bigger swings,” but that Blizzard would be “more reactive with any out of line gameplay issues,” so another balance pass could come soon.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
