released a new LTM in , Community Crafted, where professional content creators came together to make changes to all Heroes. It’s available to play in Arcade, and players are loving it so much they’re calling for some changes to be permanent. When looking at the Hero changes that Emongg, Eskay, TQQ, and Custa added, a lot of the changes are making gameplay more fun and a lot smoother.
You can check them all out in our . Playing Community Crafted has been one of the best experiences I’ve had so far in Overwatch 2, and it’s largely because of the changes that balance out frustrating Heroes to play as or against. For example, Reinhardt getting a significant damage reduction while he’s charging is a great choice because it takes away a lot of the risk of the ability.
In a game where you only have one Tank, it means they can use the charge to make more meaningful plays as oppose to throwing it out and dying. I wouldn’t suggest a whole 50% damage reduction, but the point remains that it’s a great take on how abilities can be slightly tweaked to make Heroes stronger without making them completely OP. Another Hero that has truly shone thanks to the changes in Overwatch 2 Community Crafted is Lifeweaver.
Lifeweaver’s weapon swap speed was increased significantly, along with his damage. His cooldown on the Life Grip was also decreased, but the biggest change came in with his Petal Platform which now has two charges and boosts height by an extra 50%. Lifeweaver’s always.
