Prepare for some major changes in Overwatch 2! The newest hero, Mauga, has been causing quite a stir since his introduction in season eight. With his powerful double chainguns, passive lifesteal, and quick movement ability, he has dominated both Quick Play and Competitive modes. But fear not, the development team at Blizzard is stepping in to address the issue.

Lead hero designer Alex Dawson recently announced on Twitter that the team is planning to implement some “harsher” nerfs for Mauga early next week. These changes will focus on reducing his survivability, decreasing his ammo capacity, and more. The team acknowledges that the adjustments may be stronger than necessary due to recent technical difficulties, but they want to ensure that Mauga is not overpowered.
Players have been eagerly awaiting this balancing update, especially the ammo nerf. Many have expressed frustration with Mauga’s seemingly endless shooting capabilities, making him a formidable opponent, particularly in tank battles. The lack of strong tank counters and the necessity of Ana’s anti-heal ability have also been points of contention.
While an exact date for the update has not been revealed, it is expected to arrive early next week. So, if you’ve been struggling against Mauga’s dominance, relief is on the way!
