Overwatch’s newest hero, Orisa, nerfed before she even hits consoles

Overwatch’s newest hero, Orisa, will be nerfed after feedback obtained through the game’s Public Test Realm (PTR) on PC.

Orisa’s primary, the Fusion Driver, will have its clip lowered from 200 to 150. Her ultimate, Supercharger, will also have its cost increased by 15%.

Other characters receiving changes include Ana, Junkrat, Zenyatta and Winston. You can read all about those changes in the PTR update.

Noticeably absent are further changes to hero Bastion.

“We know Bastion is a big focus for everyone right now,” said Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan. “We’ll make some changes to Bastion and put them up on the PTR this morning. We’d love to hear your feedback about those changes when they go up. I don’t have details right now because we’re still making the changes!”

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. The PTR is only available on PC.
