8 Overwatch heroes receive balance changes with Season 6 mid-cycle patch

The Overwatch 2 Season Six mid-cycle patch today may have introduced the new Hero Mastery system to the game, but it also included some important balance changes to nearly a fourth of the game’s roster of heroes.

Eight heroes received balance changes with the most significant perhaps being a buff to Zarya’s Projected Barrier. The hero was an overwhelmingly powerful tank in the early seasons of Overwatch 2 before being nerfed, but these upcoming changes to her shielding could be what she needs to keep up with other, more heavily played tanks. Blizzard increased her shields’ health, and also decreased the cooldown for Projected Barriers specifically.
