Overwatch 2’s July 9 patch notes feature some huge mid-season changes that aim to buff Tanks into a better spot for the meta – not to mention a Transformers crossover.
With Tank playersnot enjoying the classand other roles claiming that Tanks aren’t fun to play against, there’s clearly an issue with how they’reimplemented in the game.
So, Overwatch 2’s July 9Mid-Season Updateis providing a set of overarching role passive changes similar to the Season 10 update, but also a number of adjustments – mainly buffs – to every single Tank hero in the game.
Each Tank you play against will be stronger as a result of these changes, with most of the buffs being directed at making them harder to kill than doing more damage.
