Overwatch 2 has been getting quite a lot of support from the developer. Recently, the Winter Wonderland event went live, and now a new update has brought some much-needed balancing changes. Of course, not everyone is going to be happy about this, like Doomfist mains.

The December 15 patch only features balancing changes specific to seven heroes. Ramattra received a significant buff as her armor bonus in Nemesis Form increased from 150 to 225. Her movement speed also saw an increase of 20%. On top of that, her cooldown of Void Barrier (Omnic Form) was reduced from 15 to 13 seconds.

Kiriko received a small nerf as her Protection Suzu’s Invulnerability duration is reduced to 0.85 seconds. Other changes are noted below, including the nerfs for Doomfist that affected three parts of his kit.
