Overwatch 2's Wuyang is a DPS in disguise, and that could quickly become a problem

Overwatch 2 Wuyang hero trial preview: Wuyang posing on a bridge, smiling as he points forward with his left and while his right hand is behind his back holding his staff.

As part of a four-day hero trial, Overwatch 2's latest hero, Wuyang, is available for testing ahead of his full debut in Season 18. After learning about his (totally not magical) ability to harness water like he's straight out of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I jumped right in and put him to the test.

Given the comparatively small tank and support roster, it's always a good day when we see something other than a new DPS arrive, as fun as they are. Well, it turns out that Wuyang is very much an off-support, with a kit that pushes him towards a very aggressive playstyle, while his healing often lacks. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not a great thing either.
