A bug in Overwatch 2 allows Baptiste to heal teammates through thin walls, potentially leading to his ban from the game until a fix is implemented. Players have discovered various spots where this bug can be exploited, such as healing through glass walls on Colosseo and high ground near the first objective of Havana. Users on social media are already campaigning for a ban, but Blizzard has yet to respond to the issue.
Some Overwatch players are upset over the revelation that hero Baptiste is bisexual, with some expressing homophobic views on the game's official forums. However, others are pointing out that the flirtatious interaction between Baptiste and another hero, Lifeweaver, hinted at his sexuality months ago. Some fans are also questioning whether the game's creators made Baptiste and other characters queer to appease upset players over the nerfing of the game's story mode. Blizzard's upcoming Pride event in Overwatch 2 has also sparked debate, with some praising the company's support for the LGBTQ+ community and others questioning its motives.
Lifeweaver, the new pansexual hero in Overwatch 2, may have revealed another queer character, Baptiste, who had a flirty exchange with him in a lobby conversation. Fans speculate that Baptiste's former partner in Talon, Mauga, was intended to have a romantic relationship with him based on a short story and artwork released by Blizzard in 2019. The author of Baptiste's lore also confirmed that they wrote the characters with a "you were never good for me, but I loved you more than anything" type of relationship.
