Overwatch Classic Moth patch notes
Read on for all of the Overwatch Classic Moth abilities and details for each playable hero. Since this mode brings back the meta from September 2017, it can be a good idea to revisit each hero's kit before queuing up.
In terms of the tank heroes, you can choose from D.Va, Orisa, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Winston, and Zarya. Meanwhile, the offense heroes are Cassidy, Genji, Pharah, Reaper, Soldier; 76, Sombra, Tracer, and Doomfist. As for the defense heroes, they are Bastion, Hanzo, Junkrat, Mei, Torbjourn, and Widowmaker. Finally, the support heroes include Ana, Lucio, Mercy, Zenyatta, and Symmetra.
If you're familiar with present-day Overwatch 2, then you may notice that Doomfist is an offense hero in Overwatch Classic. Just keep this in mind during hero selection. Remember that Symmetra is also a support hero in this one instead of a damage hero!
