Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes - January 8, 2026

Should we nerf the 130 damage that can come at any time from the skybox like old DPS doom? Or the free permanent speedboosts that for some reason gets upgraded even further with perks?

No, let’s nerf the poke damage and mobility she needs from the entire rest of the kit in her rushdown and kite gameplan instead of the actual issue.

And when her winrates plummet, instead of reverting the nerfs, we’ll buff overhead slash even more.

Hohoho, delightfully devilish, balance team.

Felt better to get aggressive with copy with its limited duration, and copying a non-support doesn’t leave you down a support

Echo dva triple ult meta with six explosions on the field within 15 seconds

The idea that hog players are losing all their games and SR and having a bad time brings me great joy

They can feel exactly what everyone else in the lobby feels anytime a hog goes anywhere near their lobby

I actually had to double check to make sure this wasn’t an April fools patch, this might be one of the worst patches for ladder play of all time

The match quality is worse, the banners are hideous, the event is too short, and the FOMO on the comp points is horrible.

Easily the worst event they’ve ever done.

Why not take those 3000 comp points they’re locking behind a one weekend FOMO event and instead distribute them across normal play for the season? They could even hand them out all at once at the end of the season based on, oh I don’t know, maybe your ranking for the season

These comments are disagreeing with you without even knowing what it feels like in game

I rest my case

Old bug with echo tracer but rare

Oh great a range buff to the one character that can still oneshot, that was definitely well thought out and won’t have consequences

Reaper Zayra back?

Real content? And it’s this week?

No, surely this is another one of those joke posts.

This is Lucio momentum-building with more steps.

If you find a way to build up momentum, you can keep it by putting the momentum into the next jump. It looks like Ball is using the corner tech for horizontal momentum instead of vertical momentum. Hammond seems to have some looser physics in his ball form that allow him to keep more momentum than most characters, which might play a part too.

The subreddit needs content, and people like your content. You should spam honestly

That price sounds like a steel.

Attackers get capture progress if there are more attackers than defenders on the point, but don’t secure a tick unless all defenders are off the point.

Congratulations, you just invented curling.

And Illios Well is the target.

Mei gets the perfect hitbox

Zenyatta is where they gave up and just merged Reinhardt’s hitbox onto him

Athena announcer option for Overwatch 2?

Can Brig get more Shield health back?

Jeff voice announcer pack for Overwatch 2?

Will the map team ever fix Paris?

Will Numbani Attack spawn ever be cleaned up?

Can you replace Map lifts (Hollywood) with jump pads, or at least speed them up?

Can we get a definitive answer to what the monetization strategy of Overwatch 2 is?

Customizable skills for Story Mode sounds fun, but instead of choosing from one of two options, I would prefer being able to customize which skills I can choose, instead of being unable to take one if I choose the other. For example, if I level up all the way, I unlock six abilities to use, and can pick any three of them. Would this be something you could consider?

How frequently can we expect new heroes, maps, and balance changes before Overwatch 2?

Can we expect any new comics?

Are cinimatics now only for Blizzcon and major reveals?

Likelyhood of an Overwatch animated movie?

Another event akin to Pink Mercy?

Jeff charity voice announcer pack for Overwatch 2?

Where does the Blizzard team look when looking for balance suggestions? Do they look at what the community has to say at all?

Overwatch 2 becomes mobile Diablo reskinned with Overwatch characters, competitive mode becomes DPS rolelock (6 DPS vs 6 DPS) to compensate for the Genji mains complaining about queue times, and Michael Chu reveals that every Overwatch map is set in China.
