Overwatch 2: All Support Perks in Season 18

Every hero in Overwatch 2 is getting at least one new perk for Season 18. The team wanted to replace perks that did not fit their design or ones that players did not enjoy taking. Hopefully, Season 18 sees more options for players. For the most part, one perk is a better choice than the other option. Below is the list of perks for all the Support Heroes in Overwatch 2.
