There are also a bunch of changes to general items. These updates aim to improve underused survival items, and some of the least-picked items have reworks to address missing counterplay options.

Stadium also has a new hero build feature, which includes recommendations to make the game mode more accessible. According to Blizzard Entertainment, these recommendations are based on constantly updating data on win and pick rates.

As noted, retail Overwatch has major changes as well. Several heroes have buffs, nerfs, and adjustments, and every hero can now see their teammates' health through walls as it's no longer limited to supports.
