With the recent reworks to heroes in Overwatch 2, you might find your playstyle changing depending on how drastic the changes were. A few heroes have received major reworks, making them a bit more complicated to use.

If you’ve used any of the heroes we’ve included in this list, then now’s the time to study its changes.

Top Tips for Every Hero Rework in Overwatch 2

Without further ado, here’s a breakdown of the major rewords in Overwatch 2 heroes and how you can adapt to these changes:

Bastion

First off is Bastion who has received some of the major changes in the game. For one, his ultimate ability no longer transforms him into a mobile tank but will transform him into a powerful cannon instead. This way, Bastion will go into Artillery mode so he can fire three powerful shells on a wide area.

Additionally, his Self-Repair ability has been removed, so he no longer has the ability to heal himself. Lastly, he has received a new alt-fire attack where he fires a bomb that will ricochet off walls and will only explode if it hits an enemy or the ground.

Sombra

Sombra’s rework made her more of a DPS role now, prominent in her Hack ability which now also reveals the location of a hacked enemy to Sombra and her team. This means that it will be a lot easier for the entire team to gank on that enemy. Additionally, Sombra now deals more damage to her hacked enemies.

Lastly, her ultimate will now deal 40% damage to enemies inside the pulse’s radius. It can still disrupt barriers, but it has become a mix of both utility and damage.

Cassidy

Cassidy no longer has the Flashbang stun ability. Instead, he now has the Magnetic Grenade which will home in on enemies and even stick to them, dealing damage upon exploding.

Doomfist

Doomfist now plays the role of a tank, receiving a major boost in his health alongside a new Power Block ability. His abilities were also tweaked, and his Uppercut ability has been removed. To compensate for this, his ultimate will now activate faster and can even slow down enemies caught in the area of impact.

Orisa

Orisa has received some major reworks to her kit. For one, she no longer has the Protective Barrier shield which is now replaced with the Energy Javelin which is a projectile that can knock back enemies and stun them. Meanwhile, here Halt! Ability is also replaced with the Javelin Spin which will give Orisa a speed boost upon blocking projectiles.

Moreover, her ultimate has been replaced with a new one called Terra Surge in which she will sweep nearby enemies and after a brief charge, release a massive surge of damage. Lastly, she now uses Augmented Fusion Driver as her primary fire which has infinite ammo but will overheat if used too much.

Mei

Mei’s rework is a nerf – and a major one at that! Specifically, her ice gun will no longer freeze enemies but can still deal decent damage and slow them down. Her only means of freezing enemies will be her ultimate.
