Future Overwatch 2 support hero abilities teased

When Redditors asked about the developer team’s design philosophy for the upcoming support heroes, Noh said that giving players several options of playstyles is the first priority.

“In general the broad goal is to provide a wide range of playstyle options. There isn’t really a big shift in that regard towards being weighted more toward healing/damage/utility etc,” he said. “We do need to make sure they fit well into 5v5 and are able to have a significant impact on the outcome of a match but that can be achieved in a variety of ways depending on the individual hero kit.”

He added that while some are in a need of more mechanical skill, others could bring in good game sense and positioning while not focusing too much on the aiming aspect.
