The Overwatch 2 February 21 patch notes may not be as extensive as the Season 3 update, but they still include some notable changes. The improvements made to Symmetra are particularly significant, as they address long-standing issues affecting her performance. With the updates to Photon Barrier and Sentry Turrets, players can use these abilities more effectively, making Symmetra a more viable pick in matches.
In addition, the change to Legacy Credits’ color is a small but helpful change for players, making it easier to differentiate between the two types of in-game currency. These updates show that the Overwatch 2 development team is committed to improving the big and small game to enhance the overall player experience.
