Overwatch 2’s game-changing season 9 update leaves DPS flourishing, tanks ‘miserable’

After just a day, there’s already been plenty of opinions about Overwatch 2’s new season nine update, which brought wholesale changes to the hero roster, Competitive Play, and more.

Among the changes in the large OW2 update was an increase in hero health and a massive tweak to projectiles, which now mostly travel faster and have a larger hitbox. This has made many feel that DPS heroes are on top of the world, while tanks are feeling rougher to play than ever.
