Overwatch 2’s Director has revealed several changes which can be expected in Season 16, well enough for us to get a glimpse of how the next vision looks.
There are few perk changes and Freja buffs which will be releaved, there are also number of more significant game wide changes which were hinted outright revealed.
Overwatch 2 Season 16 Early Patch Notes
6v6 Sticking Around
One big information revealed in the Director Take is that the 6v6 will be sticking around in both the Competitive and Open Queues, while one around one-third of players are choosing 5v5 over 6v6.
Well, to be honest, it is not as popular as core mode, but titis popular enough to be sticking around for the least the duration of Season 16. It will keep the queue format to make sure queue times do not end up as long as they did in Overwatch 1.
Significance Perk Changes
Aaron Keller revealed just a few perk changes we can expect, he did provide some insight into the sort of changes we can expect on several other heroes.
He explained thatr if we feel hero is less impactful perk set overall, we also wanted to offer them new option. So there will be constant iteration going on behind the scene to dream bigger and better options for the future seasons.
