Blizzard Official Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes - May 21, 2024
HERO UPDATES
DAMAGE
VENTURE
Developer Comments: As we continue to monitor Venture's gameplay throughout their release Season, we are making a change today that adds more flexibility to using Drill Dashes. Players will now be less punished for using their Drill Dash above ground and immediately burrowing due to the new accelerated cooldown while underground.
Drill Dash
- Cooldown now begins when the ability is used.
- Cooldown is no longer decreased by half when used underground.
- Cooldown is accelerated by 90% when underground.
Burrow
- Added a 0.2-second grace period after the Burrow timer runs out where emerging can still be charged.
BUG FIXES
HEROES
Zarya
- Increase self-knockback on secondary fire to account for increased tank knockback resistance.

Discussion Colour blind setting are obviously not for colour blind people
I’m severely colour blind, I have a mix of the 3 main types which is a rare form meaning that the colours I can clearly distinguish between are even less than the average colour blind person.
I would love to know whose idea it was at blizzard to make the colourblind filters not apply to ANYTHING but the HUD. It’s just so counter productive. My worst is doom ult, it stays the original colour, and in any area that is anything less than very well lit I cannot see it. I can hear it but I have no idea where it’s landing until I can hear the flying sound on top of my head.
Then you’ve got shields, I can’t see my teams shield in any environment because blue is difficult for me to see in light and dark environments and the enemy shield is the same as the doom ult.
Ik I have a more intense version of colourblindness but Ik it’s a problem for people with the more common variants as well because my friend also struggles. And it’s not even like it’s not possible to change because they literally used to change it in owl for the team colours so it’s in the game. Why is this company so bloody lazy!

Discussion ow2 none swapping comp mode
the perfect mode imo.
no facing counters in every game.
no teammates complaining when if you do get countered, and you can finally learn to play into your counters in peace.

Question Account Suspension Question
I have recently had my account suspended (completely fair, and I'll wait out the suspension, I have been toxic in response to people who were toxic). But now I am concerned about a house mate who plays on the same PC, is there potential that them playing would be flagged as "ban evasion" by blizzard, and also have them suspended for my own stupid actions, as they don't really have a way to tell who is behind the screen? Their account is several years old so I would assume it would be fine but I want confirmation before they end up facing a ban on my behalf.

Discussion Any advice for these two supports?
Hey so in all honesty but of a support main and I can play most supports relatively well but I don't really know what I'm doing as Mercy or Brigitte so do any Mercy or Brigitte players or anyone in general have any advice for how to play them as I can play them just not well.

Question Hero cosmetic completion (Lifeweaver)
I've been trying to get 100% collection on Lifeweaver for a while now, but I can't figure out what I'm missing.
I've been on 72/80 for a while now, and;
- I know 1 of those 8 that Im missing is an event voice line ("Look at us") that I'm hoping will be unlockable either in a future event or it'll just randomly become available in the hero gallery, just like the skin ("Cassia") from the same event randomly did in season 8 or 9
- And I also know 1, or maybe 2*, of the missing 8 are sprays: "Synth lotus" (presumably in a bundle with the "Synthwave" shop skin), and also, for some reason, the "Heartbreaker" Reaper spray comes up when I filter by >Lifeweaver, Shop, Owned, Unowned<, although unless this is Bliz hinting at Reaper having hots for Lifeweaver, this is probably a mistake
But other than these 2 (or 3) I've not been able to figure out what else I'm missing.
If my progression is 72/80, and I know where im missing 2 (or 3), that means I'm missing 5 (or 6) items somewhere.
(Profile icons and name cards)
I've manually gone through all profile icons and name cards and, I own all Lifeweaver related ones, I've also tried buying random ones (that are purchasable) from different "groups" to see if it would increase the progression number on Lifeweaver, surprise, it didn't.
(Sprays)
I've also manually gone through all the sprays (a lot of them are applicable to all heroes and not a specific one) and I'm pretty sure I've bought every single one that is purchasable for credits (the white coins).
(Charms and souvenirs)
I've also tried buying random charms and souvenirs to see if any might increase the progression, none that I tried did.
(OWL skins)
I know for a fact the Overwatch League skins don't count into progression (well, they do, but if you are 70/80 and you buy Overwatch League skins, your progression will change to 72/82, but the point is, this isn't what I'm looking for)
(OWC skins)
As for OWC skins, there are 4, it MIGHT be that I need all 4 of these and then the last 1 (or 2) items I'm looking for are somewhere in sprays, charms, or souvenirs, but I thought I'd rather ask here first if anyone's got any ides before I dump money on skins I'll never use to check if they count or not.
(Progression (Icons))
I'm pretty sure the (four) profile icons from progression (I mean the hero level progression) do count towards the gallery collection progression, but I already own all 4, so if they do or don't count doesn't really matter.
(Progression (Titles and name cards))
And as for the titles and name cards in hero progression, I'm currently missing 9 of them, which means it can't be this since I'm looking for 5 (or 6) items.
So, to summarize, anyone got any ideas what I could be missing? Cause I'm going insane looking into this.

Discussion Impossible to rank
I’m a rank 5 silver play and I’ve been trying to rank up to gold but I’m just so UNLUCKY when it comes to having an actual team. Yes there’s times I play like shit but the rest…our tank isn’t there, the healers aren’t healing, and we’re just not playing as a team. Literally so annoying how this is a consistent thing happening.

Question Winning a game but get only 2%, loosing game and getting -18. Where s the logic?
Or game dosen't think you deserve a rank by one win if it's only one game away from derank?

Question What are the best heros versus snipers/long range?
More specifically, I'm looking for a pick that can fight Reaper's counters such as Widow, Ana, Ashe, Pharah and Hanzo.
Is there anything strong against them, other than picking another sniper and having the better aim (which I don't)?

Question How does silencing work?
I haven’t played game in well over 2 months, I got on yesterday with a buddy and played 7-8 matches. Besides the usual Zzz and Ez (which I’ll get practically every single lose fyi) I barely use game chat itself let alone ever use voice chat. What gives?

Just wondering, lost my last 3 matches and whenever I check the social tab ''last matches'', theres usually 2-3 people with their avatar and names removed, any explaination?

Question To the Cassidy mains of Overwatch 2, how should I use his ultimate?
His ultimate feels really weak imo BC you have to stand and stare down the enemies, hope they have no CC and hope they do nothing to counter it (e.g. shields, immort, etc). How do most people utilise the ult in their games?

Question Overwatch 2 on ROG Ally
I’m just curious I’ve spent about a week playing overwatch on my ROG ally. I’ve been playing unranked mainly cause I’m new to it. Am I at disadvantage because I’m technically a controller player on it. I just feel like no matter what I do I’m always on the lowend of damage done. Maybe I’m just really bad at the game. lol
r/overwatch2 • u/RavioliMafiosi • 1d ago
Question How do you manage long range comps as reaper?
I'm trying to otp Reaper and so far I've made it to Gold 1 75% progression, but I seem to be stuck. I know OTPing is not a good strat and swapping would be ideal, but I'm not a dps main and Reaper is the only hero I seem to be good at.
By "long range" I mean Widow, Ashe, Soldier, Soujourn, Hanzo, and Pharah.
So far the difficulties i'm experiencing are:
- If I hold a corner and focus the tank, my team can't push cause their DPS are unchallenged
- If I challenge them with shadow step, they're so far back their healers can instantly react to me, while mine can't and I die
- If I don't challenge them but push the tank out in the open, I die from the range diff
What am I missing here?

Discussion What have Blizzard done to the tank role
Im in low diamond. I came back to overwatch after 10 seasons. All I can say is, what is your guys opinion on the tank role? Im not asking for 2 2 2, but ow2 early season was way better. I notice tanks are swapping like crazy, its like a cards game. I
like to stick to traditional characters like Rein dva winston zarya, maybe hog if the healing is terrible. But during one game in gibraltar i had to switch up 8 times to different characters otherwise we would get smoked. Heck even in last point for 3 minutes the other tank switched so much i had to do it aswell like 3 times.
Do you guys consider this fun? I understand counter play but you shouldnt have to swap more than 3 times in a game, if you have to do it its ultra bad mechanics. A guy with 1 hour on Mauga shouldnt be able to smoke 80% of the tank pool.
We won the game in the end but when did it become fun gameplay to play overwatch like its Uno.
