Overwatch 2 season 6 patch notes, Aug. 24: All Illari hero nerfs
Blizzard added a small patch to Overwatch 2 on Thursday alongside new support hero Illari’s arrival in the game’s competitive mode. Along with a few minor bug fixes, the team gave a nerf to Illari just two weeks after her release.
Game director Aaron Keller told players ahead of Illari’s release that the new hero might be a smidge overtuned because the team didn’t want to make the same mistake that they did with Lifeweaver. The previous new hero addition had an underwhelming start and needed many buffs before becoming viable.
