Overwatch 2 Season 15 features substantial changes to the Hero Perks system, which gives players control regarding the hero's abilities. The game introduces hero perks during matches that give heroes unique abilities that define their gameplay approach and team coordination.

Players are awarded experience through eliminations, healing, and other game actions, which provide two Minor Perks at level two and two Major Perks at level three. Minor Perks work by shortening cooldown periods but Major Perks add major gameplay adjustments through new abilities and power boosts. Different heroes, including Orisa, Reaper, and Hanzo, now have strong mid-match playstyle changes through the new perks added to their roster.

The company plans to improve this system through regular updates over several seasons. The upcoming Mid-Season 15 update will add strength to deficient perks and reduce power from dominant ones to create balanced gameplay. The upcoming Season 16 will introduce new perks to Overwatch, and the following Overwatch 2 Season 18 will completely revamp up to half of the current perks by adding different engaging features. The devs made these changes to keep matches engaging and tactical.
