Overwatch 2 will see adjustments to its characters Lifeweaver, Mei, and Cassidy as announced by Alec Dawson, the Lead Hero Designer for the game. These modifications are set to roll out later in the week.
In a recent series of tweets, Dawson highlighted the forthcoming changes. For Lifeweaver, he wrote, “Small hotfix going out later this week with adjustments for Lifeweaver, Mei, and Cassidy. Lifeweaver to receive small Thorn Volley buffs. Latest changes provided a much better baseline (in acceptable range), but still have some more improvements in store for him down the road.”
Regarding Mei and Cassidy, Dawson stated, “Mei and Cassidy adjustments are both in response to how their kits have been playing since S5 changes. We’re pulling back a bit here on their CC additions and will continue to monitor.”
In the case of Mei, the changes aim to strike a balance, with increased damage on primary abilities and decreased slow effects. Dawson elaborated, “Finding more of a middle ground for Mei, damage going up on primary and slow going down.”
As for Cassidy, his Magnetic Grenade will have a lower seeking radius and a shortened homing duration.
Dawson hinted at a series of changes scheduled for Season 5 Midseason and expressed his eagerness to share these upcoming plans, “Have a good amount of changes planned for Season 5 Midseason, excited to share those with y’all soon.”
