Overwatch 2 Director Apologizes for Out-of-Context Announcement of Major Changes

The introduction of self-healing for non-support heroes in Season 9 sparks mixed reactions among players.

Overwatch 2's director, Aaron Keller, has apologized for announcing a major change to the game out of context. The change, which introduces self-healing for tank and DPS heroes, is part of a larger set of adjustments planned for Season 9.
The introduction of self-healing for non-support heroes is seen as a significant shift in the game's dynamics, potentially reducing the utility of support players and altering the game's core emphasis on teamwork.
Despite Keller's clarification, the player base has had a mixed response, with some expressing hope for a revitalized game experience, while others remain skeptical.
Concerns have been raised about how the changes will affect the game's existing hero types and whether the game might lose its uniqueness as a team-based shooter.
Overwatch 2 Season 9, which is expected to launch in February, is seen as a pivotal moment in the game's ongoing development.
