Overwatch 2 Jan. 24 Update: Full Patch Notes Detailed

Blizzard have rolled out a brand new patch for Overwatch 2, featuring a number of Hero updates for Tank, Damage and Support.

Overwatch 2 players have had plenty of events to get stuck into these past few weeks, from Battle for Olympus to the Lunar New Year. But, despite the events, some players haven't been vibing with everything the new Overwatch has to offer.

One issue that's been a sticking point for a number of players is the game's Ranked system which took away SR (Skill Rating) per match and instead shows a player's Ranked progress after winning seven games or losing 20. Some players have felt that the new system feels unrewarding, but Overwatch devs have since confirmed that the system is here to stay.

But it remains to be seen whether the Ranked system will receive any updates in future patches. For now, a few Hero updates have been rolled out in Overwatch 2 alongside some bug fixes. Here's what you need to know.
