The devs are considering changes to Doomfist’s Rocket Punch ability, which is an important aspect of his damage output and adversary placement strategy. The technique works in tandem with the character’s Power Block, which defends Doomfist while also boosting his Rocket Punch. Dawson stated that the intended upgrades will allow for more powerful blows. Junker Queen has also repeatedly trailed behind, and buffs are expected to “consider her self-efficacy vs. providing sustain for [the] whole team.” Wrecking Ball is both ridiculous and destructive, and effectively balancing him is dangerous business, according to Dawson. He didn’t go into much detail, other than to say that the crew was looking into the character.
Both players and devs are starting to grasp Overwatch 2 hero balancing, and while it’s a never-ending process, maybe this is the beginning of ironing out big launch issues. It was disappointing to watch Junker Queen struggle to compete with her contemporaries, therefore it’s fantastic to see that early work is being put into her growth.
