Blizzard revealed the April 30 patch notes for Overwatch 2. The new patch primarily focused on Orisa since the hero was considered overpowered for a long time. With the new update, Orisa got significant nerfs. The biggest nerf in her Fortify ability which both the duration and the mobility were decreased.
Additionally, her Javelin Spin cooldown is being extended from seven to nine seconds, further impacting her overall effectiveness in combat.
