Overwatch 2’s Vendetta Review and Player Concerns Over Balance Adjustments

Pedro and Paulo Zambarda de Araujo reviewed the gameplay of Vendetta, the newest character in Overwatch 2, on episode 59 of their program, Dropando a Real. They also discussed Season 20 and the enduring impact of the first-person shooter game that has shaped Activision Blizzard since 2016. The livestream is available to view. According to official Overwatch information, amidst roaring crowds in the Colosseum, Vendetta’s name stands out. User kingicedragonyt has posted several Player of the Game clips featuring Vendetta on Twitch, sparking discussion about the newcomer in Overwatch 2. Players have expressed concerns about Vendetta’s potential to overshadow other characters due to her damage output and mobility. Specific points of concern include: Vendetta’s Overhead Strike covers a substantial area of approximately 7 meters, exceeding the range of most other melee attacks. Her Soaring Slice ability inflicts damage along a 15-meter line while also providing mobility. To address these concerns, players have suggested either reducing Vendetta’s attack speed or increasing the cooldown time for her Soaring Slice ability. Some players also feel that despite her lifesteal abilities, Vendetta’s survivability is high; she is still knocked out often.

Overwatch 2’s Newcomer Vendetta Shakes Up Arena Dynamics and Player Expectations

Comparisons have been made to Reinhardt and Genji, who also possess area-of-effect attacks but with either longer cooldown times or narrower hit zones. As the 45th hero of Overwatch 2, Vendetta’s new hero trailer reveals how this Italian hero transformed a stolen future into a weapon. After losing her inheritance and falling into obscurity, La Lupa became a legend in the brutal Colosseum combats. With every triumph, she gained more influence, but whispers circulated about Vendetta’s past, hinting at a connection to the original conflict between Overwatch and Talon. Having secured her place among the arena’s elite, she defeats enemies with ruthless precision, with her ambitions extending far beyond the arena. Every gladiatorial victory is a calculated step toward something greater. (Note: This text does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Uai Portal.) With Vendetta’s arrival, the dynamics of Overwatch 2 are set to evolve, and players are keenly observing how these changes will impact the game.
