Overview

  • Overwatch 2 developers are fine-tuning projectile sizes for certain heroes following Season 9 feedback, addressing concerns over accuracy and headshot hitboxes.
  • Season 9 introduced significant gameplay changes, including a new Champion rank, role passives, and projectile adjustments, leading to mixed reactions from the player base.
  • Some players and former professionals defend the changes, arguing they make the game more fun and do not significantly impact skill expression.
  • Critics argue that the adjustments favor less skilled players and have made certain aspects of gameplay, like landing headshots, overly simplified.
  • Blizzard has yet to announce when the fine-tuning adjustments will be implemented, but the development team is closely monitoring feedback.
