Overwatch 2 Developers Announce Upcoming Nerfs to Support Heroes to Address Concerns of Excessive Strength

Blizzard has announced upcoming Overwatch 2 nerfs for many support heroes as players complain about their power.

Supports have become very strong in the meta despite being weak at launch, concerning players about "healing creep".

Game Director Aaron Keller says they plan major changes to supports in the next mid-season patch to reduce utility and survivability.

The goal is to avoid making supports as helpless as at launch but reduce the high sustain in the game currently.

Ability nerfs could include Baptiste's Immortality Field, Moira's Fade, and overall healing output.
