New Overwatch 2 patch nerfs Ramattra, Pharah, and more days after unpopular update

It’s not a return to six-vs-six, but it’s clear the Overwatch 2 devs knew something needed to change fast following the release of one of the most unpopular balancing updates in recent memory.

The season 11 midseason patch on July 9 shipped widespread buffs to tanks, among other changes—and made the game feel awful to play for many. I can personally attest to ranked feeling less balanced than ever, with almost every game feeling like my team was either rolling over our enemies or we were just getting flatted by the opposition, with little room for evenly balanced games. And the centerpieces of all those games were almost exclusively tank characters, with Maugas and Ramattras running rampant. Today, Blizzard addressed a few of those concerns, specifically as it pertains to Ramattra, and further toned down Pharah, who is still proving to be annoying for many players to deal with.
