After a brutal Overwatch 2 mid-season balance patch, all I can think about is how desperately the game needs a ban hero button

Hammond/Wrecking Ball shocked face.

Around this time in an Overwatch 2 season, Blizzard will roll out a balance patch. This doesn't usually have to be very big, as it's just a way to change up each hero's abilities, especially if they seem to be overpowered or not strong enough in the meta. But this time Blizzard has come out swinging. 

The mid-season patch for season 11 released last night to a pretty mixed response. There are usually some disgruntled mumblings after a patch as someone's hero of choice has been weakened in one way or another, but this is usually a tiny portion of the playerbase. Blizzard has been pretty decent at balancing and correcting heroes as of late.
