Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller has taken to Twitter to offer a bit of clarity regarding the passive healing abilities that season nine of the game will give to every hero. As it turns out, he reckons revealing that little tweak on its own might not have been the best idea.
If you’ve been living under a rock, or have just kind of stopped paying attention to Overwatch 2, in a recent blog post, Blizzard revealed that the season will see every character given a passive healing ability by default. While the tweak has had some supporters, it’s also been widely panned by players who think it’ll undermine the role of the game’s support heroes, whose job involves a lot of, well, passive healing.
Now, in a Twitter thread (thanks GamesRadar), Keller has addressed the controversy. “Clarifying a few things with [regards to] the self-heal, he wrote, “It’s one part of a much larger set of changes coming to the game in [season nine].”
