Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller has apologized for last week's announcement of upcoming changes that will grant every tank and DPS hero a self-healing ability, saying that there's a whole host of changes coming to the game in season 9 and talking about this one out of context "was a mistake."
The upcoming addition of self-healing for tank and DPS heroes represents a genuine sea change for Overwatch 2. Associate editor and Overwatch knower Tyler Colp said Blizzard is "taking a sledgehammer to the way Overwatch 2 is played," calling the new passive ability "the first explicit step toward untethering support players from focusing on their team, an essential reason why anyone would want to play the role in the first place."
