The launch of Overwatch 2 marked a few significant changes for Blizzard Entertainment’s team-based shooting game franchise last October. Among the biggest, though, was the removal of many crowd control abilities for non-tank heroes as the game transitioned to five-vs-five play.
With the start of season five, Blizzard reversed course and reintroduce a bit more crowd control for a pair of DPS heroes: Mei and Cassidy. Just two weeks later though, the game’s lead hero designer Alec Dawson said the team is rolling back some of these changes to make those abilities to be less powerful.
“Mei and Cassidy adjustments are both in response to how their kits have been playing since S5 changes,” Dawson said today. “We’re pulling back a bit here on their CC additions and will continue to monitor. Finding more of a middle ground for Mei, damage going up on primary and slow going down. … Cassidy’s Magnetic Grenade will have a slightly lower seeking radius and homing duration.”
