Overwatch 2's upcoming Season 15 introduces a new Perks system that adds significant depth to gameplay but raises concerns about game balance. Players can unlock two types of Perks during matches: one Minor and one Major Perk through earned XP.

The initial rollout includes 172 Perks (four for each of the 43 heroes), offering diverse strategic options. However, some combinations could prove problematic:

Key Examples of Potentially Overpowered Perks:

• D.Va: Can convert 150 health to shields and restore 25% of absorbed damage through Defense Matrix
• Reinhardt: Combines faster health regeneration while shielding with the ability to damage and knockback enemies
• Bastion: Gets 300 temporary overhealth plus self-healing capability
• Genji: Gains lifesteal during ultimate and health regeneration during Deflect
• Ana: Receives bouncing Biotic Grenades and critical hit capability

While these additions promise exciting gameplay possibilities, they present significant balancing challenges. Success will depend on Blizzard's ability to:

1. Quickly address balance issues
2. Adjust existing hero abilities to accommodate new Perks
3. Monitor and modify underperforming Perks
4. Maintain competitive integrity

The system could revitalize interest in Overwatch 2, but swift balance adjustments will be crucial for long-term success and player retention.
