It is not uncommon for a character toOverwatch 2 or games of the genre (we are well aware of similar concerns on League of Legends) either buff or nerf just days following release. However, for Vital in Overwatch 2, the changes are if important that one might ask what was blizzard thinking when the character was imagined.
Big Buffs for Vital in Overwatch 2
One of the most common criticisms of Vital since its release is its inability to heal allies while doing minimal damage. Indeed, many players have expressed their disagreement with its current functioning where raising the life bars of its allies took too much effort compared to other healers making it impossible to multitasking, heal, and do decent damage.
The complaints also seem to have been numerous enough to force Blizzard to act very quickly, a patch arriving to save Vital as soon as mardi 25.
It is in this tweet published by the lead character designer of Overwatch 2, GW_Alec, that we learn the different buffs that Vital will receive.
More ammo on his healing flowerand scattering of his flight of thorns reduced but also a increased healing values on his treethe goal here is to increase care of the character to allow him to also take damage.
However, another very important changesays a lot regarding the development of the character.
The passive of life, parting gift, va completely removed from the game a few days following its appearance. This fate critical by many players allowed the hero to leave a kind of care pack on the ground when he died, recoverable by both his allies and his enemies.
Removing an entire passive from play demonstrates that the spell had no place in his kit but also that the very design of the hero was not necessarily at the top, disconnected from what the players wanted. We can also wonder if the changes made will be enough to compensate for this lack of attention, for that we will have to wait until Tuesday!
