The 30% knockback resistance and 50% reduction in Ultimate charge given to tanks make them harder to forcibly move around and "farm" for Ultimates.

The ability to retain a 30% Ultimate charge when swapping between heroes encourages all players to be more flexible, while the 25% movement and reload speed boost on elimination for damage heroes encourages aggressive playstyles. The introduction of role passives in Overwatch 2 gives each type of hero in the game distinct advantages. The last attack that fully depletes a hero's armor will have its damage reduced by that armor dynamically, with higher damage attacks being reduced less.Armor health now reduces all damage by 30% instead of flatly reducing it by 5 points.Overhealth reduces Ultimate charge gained by opponents by 50% when it's damaged.All forms of extra health from abilities (e.g., Brigitte's Inspire or Lucio's Sound Barrier) are considered Overhealth (green health bar) instead of a secondary type of armor or shield health.All supports now heal 15 HP/second after not being damaged for 1.5 seconds.All tanks now have 30% knockback resistance and provide 50% less Ultimate charge when damaged.

Does not stack, but will refresh if additional eliminations are scored while active.

On top of that, we'll also go over how each hero fits into Overwatch's metagame and what you need to know about their strengths and weaknesses. We'll catalog all of Overwatch 2's hero changes and reworks here.
EVER FORWARD TRI SIGMA FULL
The Overwatch 2 betas gave fans a taste of some of the balance adjustments that would come with the full release of the game, and now that the sequel is officially available, nearly all of the changes introduced during the betas have been brought to the live game. Some heroes got changed more than others, but very few heroes (if any) have remained just like they were in the original Overwatch. As Overwatch 2 brings Overwatch PvP to a 5v5 format with one fewer tank, many of the game's heroes needed adjustments to remain balanced and viable. As developer Blizzard Entertainment transitions Overwatch into the Overwatch 2 era, fans can expect several large balance changes for each of the game's heroes.
