After Season 8, It’s Time For Another Damage Hero in Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 has too many Damage heroes; this is the argument that fans have made for years, and understandably so. After all, at the end of the original Overwatch, Damage heroes completely overshadowed the rest of the roster in terms of character count. Tanks and Supports combined did not reach the Damage hero count, with the roles having 8 and 7 characters respectively compared to Damage’s 16. While part of this was because it is likely easier to design a Damage character, with the role’s inherent popularity also important to consider, Blizzard needed to address the disparity – something it has certainly done with Overwatch 2.
