Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus Patch Notes (January 2023)
First up, we have the new Battle for Olympus free for all mode allows eight players to go head-to-head with unique divine powers for seven different heroes.
Hero Updates
Junker Queen
Junker Queen’s adjustments seem to fall in line with making her abilities stand out without making her a tank that deals incredibly high damage, but rather someone who depends on her toolkit.
Simple balance adjustment to make Zarya play more consistently.
That’s all of the hero adjustments for this patch. Most of the major adjustments were pushed forward to the mid-December patch, and the Roadhog adjustments will be coming in late January according to Aaron Keller.
Today’s balance patch is a bit lighter than usual because some of its planned changes were pulled forward to the mid December patch. Also, a friendly reminder that the scheduled changes to Roadhog are not part of today’s patch and are slated for mid to late January.
Some General Fixes were also put in the January patch. Nothing major, but some smoothing out of bugs and animations.
