Overwatch 2.97 patch notes

HERO UPDATES

Developer Comments: In an environment with less pervasive barriers, some Damage heroes have become increasingly deadly. As such, we now seek to reduce the damage incurred accordingly. As a cascading effect, this also introduces the need to reduce healing results for some support heroes, as less damage is dealt overall.
