OW2<\/em> lead hero designer Alex Dawson posted the news on X\/Twitter<\/a> today that the team is “targeting early next week” for some “harsher” changes to the tank, the most recent addition to the game’s ever-expanding hero pool.<\/p>
In a Reddit thread discussing Dawson’s announcement, players rejoiced about the news of the upcoming balancing to Mauga. One player said<\/a> the ammo nerf “sounds great in particular” because “that it feels like he can just shoot forever is one of the main things that makes playing against him (especially on tank) so frustrating.”<\/p>
Mauga’s been a big point of contention since releasing last month as many feel there aren’t many strong tank counters<\/a> for him besides himself, support players feel like Ana is a must-pick<\/a> for her anti-heal ability, and a buff right before the holiday break made him feel especially annoying<\/a> to play against.<\/p>
