As you can see, the changes are only for the meta. Sometimes the game needs to be tweaked to keep the matches balanced. After these changes, you might want to reconsider your strategy. The meta changes often happen in Overwatch 2, just like all the competitive online games. The original Overwatch also had a few problems with the balance, and the developers are still eager to put things on the rail. Overwatch 2 is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
