The latest update to Overwatch 2, released on August 24, introduced a variety of changes aimed at balancing the gameplay and enhancing player experience. Key adjustments include changes to the Player Progression system, where the Wins sub-badge level-up requirement has been lowered, and XP tuning to maintain balance across all heroes, modes, and roles. Additionally, the hero Illari received specific nerfs; her Healing Pylon’s heal rate was decreased, and the effectiveness of her Captive Sun ability was reduced by making it blockable by barriers and reducing its projectile size.
The update also included numerous bug fixes addressing issues across heroes, competitive modes, and general gameplay enhancements. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to refine the game and keep the play experience fair and engaging for all players (Charlie INTEL) (ComicBook).
