Details on the rework of Doomfist and Orisa

Even before the closed beta of Overwatch 2, details about the innovations in Doomfist and Orisa have become known.

On April 26th, Overwatch 2 will launch a Closed Beta for a select circle of fans, where select players will have the opportunity to pre-test 4 new maps, 4 revamped heroes, and a new heroine named Sojour. But even before the start of the beta, there are details about the revisions to two of the already known heroes, Doomfist and Orisa.

The changes to doom fist are lower than those on Orisa, but are not insignificant. Doomfist is now cast more into the role of a tanker, gaining an HP boost and the ability to block damage. his new Base HP is now at 450 and with the Power Block ability, he can block damage, increasing the damage of his Rocket Punch. Of the rocket punch now takes just one second to fully charge and Deals 15-30 direct damage and 20-40 wall damage. The Block-boosted version does even more damage, is faster, and has increased range.

His uppercut had to go and that Seismic Slam now deals damage and decelerates enemies upon landing. Of the Meteor Strike now takes less time to activate and slows all enemies that are hit, but at the cost of damage from the outer ringwhich lies meanwhile only at 100-15.

As announced, the changes to Orisa are more far-reaching. Orisa now wields a spear, which brings you various advantages. She can use it to stun and knock back enemies, spin him to deflect projectiles and knock back enemies or her new one Super attack called Terra Surge trigger. Terra Surge activates Fortify, attracting enemies and launching a widespread attack. Fortify was also revised and now provides 125 additional HP for a certain time, reduces the heat development their primary weapon by 50% and slows Orisa by 20%. As you’ve probably already read, the primary weapon no longer runs on conventional ammunition, but via an overheating mechanism and fires large projectiles that become smaller over time.

Of course, all these advantages do not come for free. Orisa loses Protective Barrier skills, Halt! and superchargers at the price of her spear. More information will probably only be available during the beta, then curiosity will certainly become Changes to Bastion and Sombra satisfied.
