Overwatch 2 recently rolled out a balance adjustment hotfix geared towards Stadium, with a buff for Orisa, nerfs for D.Va, Junker Queen, and Pharah, and a little bit of both for Brigitte. These tweaks, plus a handful of bug fixes and Stadium rank loss adjustments, are live in Overwatch 2 now.

Orisa lucked out in this Overwatch 2 Stadium patch, with her Refraction Tiles Item now reducing beam damage by 75% while using Javelin Spin, up from 50%. Likewise, support newcomer Brigitte had the range of her healing with the Righteous Cleave Power doubled from 5 meters to 10.
