All the expected changes are coming to Overwatch 2 Season 20

Here’s a look at all the new changes and additions you can expect in OW2 Season 20:

new hero

Season 20 of OW2 will begin with the debut of a the new Damage hero, Vendetta. Riding a greatsword, she is the first melee-based hero on the Damage roster, capable of tearing apart squads on her own. With a high-risk, high-reward team, Vendetta can run over players like no other. He will definitely make some big changes to the meta next season.

Hero Balance

While we talk about hero meta changes with Vendetta, we should also mention that we speculate there will be some major changes to hero balance in Overwatch 2 Season 20. This will be done in terms of hero pick rates and how heroes have generally fared in casual and competitive playlists.

Also, we hope to see new perks added to the heroes, giving them a fresh vibe with the new season.

In addition to the hero changes to the traditional playlists, we speculate that Overwatch 2 Stadium heroes will also see some major changes to their information. This will affect the performance of matches in this playlist and will eventually pave the way for meta-team compositions in this mode.

New battle pass

The start of a new season means we’ll see the introduction of a new Battle Pass to the game. Battle steps are a great way to get a few cool skins for your favorite heroes for a nominal price. If you’ve been a regular player, you can basically grab one of these passes for free, as long as you’ve saved up your bonus Overwatch Coins from previous passes you’ve completed.

The Overwatch 2 Battle Pass not only does it guarantee you cosmetics, but you also get premium currency, Overwatch credits to buy old skins, voice lines, featured intros, loot boxes and more. It’s a great investment for beginners and veterans alike.

New mythic skins

Last but not least, we will see the introduction of Skins of mythic rarity for heroes and their weapons with the debut of Season 20 of Overwatch 2. Mythic skins are the highest-rated cosmetics in the game and feature unique visuals and effects, making them an attractive purchase for the community.
