A new hotfix for Overwatch 2 has arrived and the patch notes reveal three heroes have been nerfed. This is the second update the game has received since the start of Season 12, with Blizzard slowly adjusting those dominant heroes in the current meta.
The heroes affected in this occasion are Winston, Sombra, and Ashe. The first two are not a surprise, especially Sombra since she has been a favorite pick by many in lower ranks and even some high-rank games.
The update also brings changes for Juno, adjusting her Mediblaster rate of fire and damage. Here are the full patch notes posted on the game's official website:
