All Hero balance updates in Overwatch 2 Season 2: Sojourn, Bastion, Doomfist, and more

Overwatch 2 Season 2 update is finally underway. It brings numerous additions and changes, such as a new Battle Pass, a Mythic skin, a new map, events, and more. Apart from this, many Heroes in the game have received an overhaul. Their statistics have received significant changes and have made quite an impact on the meta.

Season 2 went live on December 6. The latest Season does away with the Cyberpunk theme that Season 1 carried and now takes the title back to the Greek era and its mythology. Developers have justified this with the multiple skins in the Season's Battle Pass that reflect Greek Gods, such as the Zeus Junker Queen Mythic skin.

This article will take a closer look at all the Heroes in Overwatch 2 Season 2 that have received updates along with the changes.
