Blizzard has released a hotfix for Overwatch aimed at reducing the dominance of the newly introduced Jet Pack Cat. This patch, released on February 24, adjusts several of the cat's perks, most notably increasing the cooldown of the minor perk Claws Out from 6 to 8 seconds and reducing the damage from the major perk Territorial from 50% to 33%. While the Ultimate ability remains unchanged, the hotfix aims to balance the gameplay after complaints from players. In addition to these changes, other newly introduced heroes have also received various buffs and nerfs to their abilities, showcasing Blizzard's commitment to maintaining a well-balanced multiplayer experience.
