The Chinese New Year event for "Overwatch" is well underway and with it are a few skins for some characters. Interestingly, Mei's new skins make her look like she lost weight and gamers were quick to notice. That's why Blizzard addresses Mei's seeming "weight loss" thanks to a bug that came along with the Chinese New Year event.

Blizzard has addressed this and announced that Roadhog's Targets have also changed. Gamers should also expect that Bastion will receive balance adjustments. According to VG247, a bug in the "Overwatch" Chinese New Year event caused Mei to appear to have a smaller waist than normal.

Blizzard's community manager acknowledged this and shared that it has been fixed, and a patch is well underway to get this corrected. As Blizzard addresses Mei's "weight loss," another character will also receive some changes. Kotaku reports that Roadhog's targets has been improved and Bastion will receive balance adjustments as well. The report indicates that "Overwatch" character Roadhog has a hook that has been broken since the game's beta.

It has now been fixed following a series of tests and rollouts done by the studio. It's so much more better now in terms of performance, that even gamers have noticed it being stronger than ever. But that's not the only thing Blizzard has worked on, as Bastion will receive balance adjustments as well. Now that Blizzard has addressed Mei's "weight loss," they're focusing on adjusting Bastion.

According to GameSpot, "Overwatch" principal designer Geoff Goodman has admitted via a forum thread that he's currently working on Bastion's balancing. This means that Bastion will receive balance adjustments very soon. He also admitted that he doesn't know when it'll roll out, but fans should keep an eye out for that.
