Zarya and Sombra could be buffed in Overwatch 2 after being ‘probably overnerfed’

The hot topic in the Overwatch 2 community today is the release of season two, with the addition of the new tank hero Ramattra to the roster, the new Escort map Shambali Monastery, and balance changes to heroes. But Overwatch 2 lead hero designer Alec Dawson also provided insights into the mid-season balance patch from Nov. 17, which brought nerfs to Genji, D.Va, Zarya, and Sombra.

When asked to share his thoughts on that season one patch, Dawson revealed today that Genji and D.Va “ended up in an OK spot” after their nerfs, close to the sweet spot of a 50-percent win rate. Zarya and Sombra, however, are two heroes he thinks his team will “take another look at in the future” due to being “probably overnerfed.”
