‘She’s not that bad’: Overwatch 2 players defend ‘outdated’ Pharah design

The Overwatch 2 community has clashed this week following an argument over the viability of Damage hero Pharah, with discussion sparked after one player called the rocket-wielding character’s kit “outdated.”

Titled “Let’s stop joking ourselves: Pharah is outdated,” a Sept. 23 Reddit thread saw the player dissect Pharah’s status in the current meta, concluding her kit is heavily flawed. The player believes the pace of Overwatch 2, compared to the prequel, is much faster and Pharah can no longer compete.
