Hello everyone,

We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allowed heroes to reach unintended locations when used with their abilities. We are working to address these issues as quickly as possible and aim to bring Mei back in our next upcoming patch which is set for November 15. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

As a reminder, our Blizzard In-Game Code of Conduct specifies that exploiting in-game bugs to gain an unfair advantage is considered cheating and should be reported using our ...

[Alec Dawson] "For full transparency we did want this patch to come out earlier for the playerbase at large, but had some issues on our side. You can expect future mid-season balance updates to happen about 4 weeks after a season start."

u/BillWarnecke could you take a look at this issue? It has been in the game since the release, we hear nothing about it and it would be great if it could be as reliable as how it was in Overwatch 1.

Hey there, we have a fix for this coming in the next patch. We're aware of many bugs with Ice Wall, and have been working to address them. Apologies for the impact to your games. :(

Hero Balance Dev Update - 28 October 2022

Post

With several weeks in the books, we’ve been so humbled and honored that over 25 million players have answered the call to Overwatch 2. With the live service now more stable, we’d like to take some time to focus on what we have planned for Hero balance in an upcoming game update, prior to the changes that we have planned for Season 2 (something we’ll have more to say on later).

While we talked about our plans for Season 2 in our previous Dev Blog, there are some Hero balance adjustments we’d like to make sooner. As promised, we’re focused on some t...
