ALL Overwatch 2 Season 5 Midseason Nerfs July 11

Publish Date: July 11, 2023

The Overwatch 2 Season 5 Midseason Patch Notes bring not only bug fixes and new game modes but also nerfs to some of gamers’ favorite heroes. Here are all of the Overwatch 2 Season 5 Midseason Nerfs.


Nerf This

Sojourn

Railgun

  • Number of shots to reach maximum spread increased from 8 to 12.
  • Spread reduced by 12%.

Dev CommentsWe are decreasing the overall spread on the Railgun primary fire to help Sojourn build energy more consistently. The increased shots before reaching maximum spread will give players more direct control over aiming the projectiles when firing in short bursts.


Torbjörn

Rivet Gun

  • The secondary Fire spread reduced from 5 to 4.5 degrees.

Deploy Turret

  • Damage reduced from 14 to 11.
  • Cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds.

Overload

  • Now reloads 6 ammo on use.

Dev CommentTorbjörn’s Turret has a bit too much impact for little investment, so we are shifting some of its power to the rest of his kit to reward more accurate gunplay. Overload now partially reloads ammo, which guarantees that there is no downtime between activating the ability and shooting projectiles.


Kiriko

Healing Ofuda

  • Recovery reduced from 1 to 0.9 seconds.

Dev Comments: Originally, we increased the Ofuda recovery time to promote more Kunai usage between healing bursts. Despite that benefit, we are partially reverting that change so the primary fire feels more responsive in situations where Kiriko is pressured to focus entirely on healing.


Zenyatta

Orb of Discord

  • Maximum range reduced from 40 to 30 meters.
  • Time to wear off the target when not in line-of-sight reduced from 2 to 1.5 seconds.

Dev Comments: The combination of these changes will make it riskier for Zenyatta to apply Discord and increase counterplay for the affected target.
