The Overwatch 2 developers have released a blog detailing their thoughts about the current state of tanks this week and the overall balance changes they want to introduce in the coming months, with plans to buff the overall archetype in the works.

The main purpose of the June 28 developer update, posted on the official Blizzard blog, is to address player concerns about the tankiness and survivability of all tank heroes. Both developers and players have noted Overwatch 2‘s anti-heal passive makes it difficult for tanks to stay alive without serious assistance from their teammates, even after the tank buffs introduced during season 10.
