Overwatch 2 Season 3 will change the way heroes retain their ult charges when swapping characters.
Overwatch 2 players got another sneak peek of Season 3 plans this week with the game's executive producer Jared Neuss teasing saying that next season's update will address the ultimate charges players carry over whenever they're swapping to a new hero.
The comment from Neuss came in response to SVB, an Overwatch 2 content creator who's taken issue previously with the way ultimate charges work in the game. As a refresher, Overwatch 2 currently allows players to retain up to 30% of their ultimate's charge whenever they swap to a new hero. This is an effect which was previously meant to be a passive for the DPS role, but players and eventually Blizzard felt it'd be better that all heroes benefitted from this.
But now, some aren't so sure. The feature effects everyone, but it's a big concern for tanks, too, since that role is more of a rock, paper, scissors battle thanks to the 5v5 format. Tanks can lose a fight against a specific hero, swap to a counterpick, and come back with 30% of their ult charge as well as a hero advantage to sway the fight thus potentially forcing their opponent off of a character the person was already doing well with.
"Changes are coming for this in S3! Details will be in the patch notes, if not earlier," Neuss said in response to SVB's tweet.The lack of acknowledgement isn't a lack of concern, just to be clear.
