Overwatch 2 Patch Notes: Buffs for Ramattra, Nerfs for Doomfist

Part 2 of Overwatch 2 dropped on December 6, and upon release, Activision Blizzard made some more tweaks and balance changes to the hero roster.

Ramattra, the new Omnic Tank added in Season 2, has been buffed. His Nemesis form is more effective, with increased movement speed and armor. His Omnic Void Barrier has its cooldown reduced.

Doomfist’s abilities have also been tweaked a bit. His Rocket Punch ability has been nerfed gradually. The cooldown is extended by one second and requires more water to power up. In the December 6 update, the devs buffed him so that players could use him more effectively as a cockroach-slashing tank. That might be too much, so his ability was dropped one notch in the December 15 update.

Other buffed characters include Ana and Orisa. Ana’s Bio Rifle heals and damages more, and the duration of the BioGrenade is extended by one second. Orisa’s Terra Surge can now penetrate barriers and the Enhanced Fusion Driver has also been tweaked. Characters with nerfs include Sojourn, whose Disruptor Shot no longer slows enemies, Kiriko, and Tracer.
