She was eagerly awaited and is still considered to have arrived rather late, the first update responsible for balancing certain heroes was announced yesterday for Overwatch 2. Scheduled only for November 15, it has already caused a lot of ink to flow on the networks as not being sufficient. For good reason, quite a few changes that we are going to list for you here.
What changes are expected in this patch?

Can we expect anything else for Overwatch 2?
After so much time since the release of the game and especially a release as November 15, we could have hoped for other changesincluding buffs and especially…
…the Sojourn case. It turns out to be very frustrating after a correct elo, in particular due to its ability to one shot too frequently. We could also have thought of buffs concerning Doomfist, the Queen of Junkers or Bouldozerthese characters being considered unplayable at this time.
Following the announcement of the patch, the lead designer of Overwatch 2 Alec Dawson answered questions on Twitter, and can reassure on certain points, in particular:
- Changes planned for Doomfist in Season 2, and special attention to the Queen of Junkers and Bouldozer (source)
- Expected changes for Sojourn, with the aim of nerfing it at high levels without affecting its potential at lower levels (source)
- More support characters to come, their current amount being rather low (source)
- Small changes planned for Symmetra in Season 2, and maybe a slight change to Moira’s kit (source)
- Expected updates every month, this one should have arrived a bit sooner but the team ran into some issues (source)
That’s about it for this update! And if you want to see what this patch will look like in advance, you can watch the Overwatch League starting tomorrow, in which players will already be playing on the upcoming patch.
