Overwatch 2 Season 5 patch notes: Biggest hero nerfs and buffs

The Overwatch 2 Season 5 patch notes are here, and there’s quite a few changes to some popular heroes this time. Season 5 introduces a substantial overhaul for Mei and balances Hanzo and Widowmaker a bit more – well, it will once the bugs are worked out. Roadhog won’t rely entirely on his self-healing to stay alive, and Junker Queen won’t heal herself quite so much anymore. Lifeweaver, meanwhile, gets several changes as Blizzard continues trying to make his playstyle unique.

Elsewhere, the update fixes multiple hero bugs, including one that let enemies escape Doomfist’s stun effect and one where Baptiste’s immortality field didn’t show up properly.
