The Overwatch 2 Season 8 patch notes are here, and while they’re not quite as extensive as past season notes, they do make some important changes to a handful of heroes. These alterations should make tanks easier to play, though DPS and support heroes had a bit of the wind taken from their sails. Soldier 76 can’t heal as effectively, for example, and Baptiste runs out of ammo more quickly. This season also sees some new features introduced, including weapon skins and a fresh PvPvE limited-time mode, along with the brand-new tank Mauga.
