Certain, he did a variety of harm, however the lack of shields and his gigantic hit field made him a sitting duck for each top-rated DPS participant. Consequently, the hero not often had the possibility to point out his prowess within the professional meta.

Although Overwatch 2 didn't give the hero any shields, the sport will attempt to make him a viable decide by providing a few new issues.
