Overwatch 2 Stadium patch notes: May 29

Overwatch 2 Stadium hotfix: Tank changes

In terms of tanks, D.Va, Junker Queen, Orisa, and Reinhardt have updates. D.Va's buffs pertain to her Ignition Burst Power and Vesuvius Protocol Ability Hero Item, which both increase her lava damage. She does have decreased spread when it comes to her Fusion Cannon Power, however.

Meanwhile, Junker Queen has buffs all around. The Overwatch 2 Stadium team hopes that players can give her shotgun and knife builds some love. As for our favorite horse, she has buffs in terms of her Scorched Earth Power and Electro Lights Hero Weapon Item. Reinhardt, meanwhile, has buffs to his Barrier Reconstruction Power and Dampener Grip plus a nerf to his Feeling the Burn Power in that it no longer applies to Smashing and Dampener Grip.
