Overwatch 2 Season 12 Hero Changes So Far
Lifeweaver Buff
For a while now, players of Overwatch 2 have expressed their opinions about Lifeweaver being too weak. With the start of Season 12, the Support Hero is finally receiving a much-awaited buff. According to the developers, the pre-launch blog has revealed their plans to make “significant updates to enhance the effectiveness of the Petal Platform and its counter-playability.”
Additionally, it was stated that Healing Blossom and Rejuvenating Dash will undergo modifications. While the specifics were not disclosed, it is expected that the healing capabilities of both skills will be enhanced in order to improve his ability to withstand damage and enhance his role as a support in keeping allies alive.

Mobile Hero Nerfs
In Season 11, the majority of matches were controlled by agile characters who were able to quickly maneuver behind enemy lines and evade attacks. To address this issue, the developers have decided to decrease the health of multiple Heroes. This adjustment will make them more vulnerable and increase the risk involved in using them.
The specific Heroes affected by this change have not yet been revealed, however, both Damage and Support characters will be impacted. It is likely that popular mobile characters such as Tracer, Sombra, and Mercy will receive a nerf, but the full patch notes will provide more information.
Rest assured, we will promptly update this page with a comprehensive breakdown of all buffs and nerfs as soon as they are announced by Blizzard.
The 12th season of Overwatch 2 will feature a new Battle Pass centered around Egyptian mythology and a crossover with World of Warcraft.
