Overwatch 2 recently launched its 9th season, in which the developers have significantly increased the hitboxes of some heroes. Players had mixed reactions to this change: some considered it a funny moment, while others accused the developers of excessively trying to simplify the game for beginners.
Today Lead Character Designer Alec Dawson reportedthat the team has taken into account player feedback and is planning to adjust the size of projectiles and the health of some heroes in the near future.
“We continue to see how the Season 9 changes impact the game,” he wrote. — Although we want to wait a little longer for players to get used to the changes, we plan to change some things in the near future.
Expect adjustments to projectile size and health for some heroes. The projectile hit accuracy values correspond to our expectations, but in some cases we went a little overboard.
Dawson also said that this night the Overwatch team released an urgent update that fixes some bugs with melee damage for Doomfist and the Vulture Queen.
