A few days after the start of the second season of Overwatch 2, Blizzard is already rolling out new patch notes for its popular FPS.
The December 15 Overwatch 2 patch notes bring various changes to the hero balance introduced with Season 2, reducing the efficiency of overpowered heroes such as Doomfist and Sojourn while boosting the abilities of less-favored characters like Ramattra and Ana, among others.
