All hero changes in Overwatch 2 6-vs-6 role queue experiment mode

Overwatch 2’s going crazy with the number two as part of a special limited-time mode. The “2-2-2” six-vs-six role queue mode is here for just a couple of weeks.

As part of the mode that looks to test how six-vs-six works in OW2, the roster is undergoing a bit of a makeover for balancing, such as tanks being nerfed since there will once again be two of them, along with a number of individual hero tweaks.

Read on below for each of the changes coming in OW2’s limited-time six-vs-six “2-2-2” mode.
