Overwatch 2 Developer Teases Potential Tank Buffs for Some of the Game’s Weaker Tanks

Players are starting to comprehend the subtleties of their favorite Overwatch 2 characters after roughly a month of playtime. With this insight, a few personalities stand out from the crowd. Heroes like Zarya and the ever-popular D.Va are now ruling the tank meta, while a slew of other characters are falling by the wayside. The choice to decrease squad size to five instead of six men, leaving only one tank, has motivated players to select only the most viable options.

Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 takes a seasonal approach, and each new season is an ideal moment to release new content and upgrades. In a recent Twitter Q&A, main hero designer Alec Dawson teased fans about what may be in the works for the upcoming second season. Dawson hinted at potential new characters and content by saying tanks like Doomfist, Junker Queen, and Wrecking Ball would most certainly require improvements to compete with both current tanks and potential newcomers.
