Overwatch 2 Stadium nerfs Kiriko and Juno
According to the developers, Kiriko’s Clone Conjuration Power got nerfed so it can become more of a utility and decoy tool. This change aims to make the support hero feel more fair to play against. Kiriko’s clone now deals 65% less healing and damage.
In terms of other support heroes, Juno received a nerf as well. Her high survivability and ring build made her difficult to play against. The developers even called her a “flying Tracer” prior to this update.
Meanwhile, Ana gets multiple adjustments to further empower her teammates. For example, the developers buffed her Biotic Grenade to achieve this.
As for Zenyatta, he received changes to encourage folks to heal more while playing as him.
