Overwatch 2's director announces 'a small balance patch' for the new Junkenstein's Lab mode, which has managed to attract 15% of the daily players 2 weeks after launch

Junkenstein's Lab was added a couple of weeks ago as part of Overwatch 2's Halloween celebrations. This was a spin on the usual seasonal event, which involves Junkenstein in various PvE modes, but this time, it was PvP, and quite frankly may rival the standard Overwatch 2 modes.

Junkenstein's Lab sees players pick between a select group of heroes. There's only D.Va, Orisa, and Reinhardt to pick from out of the tanks, Soldier 76, Genji, Ashe, Pharah, and Reaper from DPS, and Kiriko, Mercy, Moira, and Zenyatta from support. The limited choice is due to each of them having multiple mutation variants, which change abilities and how you can play each hero.
