Did Maverick get shadow nerfed?

[IX]

Just wanted to ask because I haven’t heard of it being mentioned before but did Maverick get shadow nerfed? I’m talking about whenever he creates holes in the wall, there’s like these metal burnt debris that somewhat blocks your view.

yep, his "silent" gadjet was to mighty, so now you are loud and cant even see clear.

I use maverick a lot and haven't really seen any differenses. And debris was always there, but it depends which wall you burn i think.

I gathered the screenshots here:

-The first screenshot here shows Maverick's torch creating a hole with minimal debris (gathered from an old clip)

-The second screenshot there shows the current Maverick (at the time of writing this) where there's a lot more debris compared to a couple seasons ago

-The third screenshot shows the same example

*I've been a Maverick main ever since he was released prior to operation Grim Sky and just couldn't help but notice this shadow nerf. I thought this was due to a bug and just needed some confirmation.

Weird. Considering Mav's one of the top 5 most balanced attackers according to the latest graph, I doubt this is intentional (unless it's one of Ubi's trademark "weird" balance changes)

it wasn't silently nerfed
about 2 months after he was released ubi announced they were
making his gadget louder.
the debris some people are mentioning i don't really understand
the hole mav creates was never perfect.

I do understand that Ubi made his torch louder but I don’t understand if the debris on the hole was intentional or not since there’s a pretty significant change.

to be fair i haven't played him in a lil while
but do you have some examples?
there was always some stuff in the way even from launch of the character.

It's in the link I've posted earlier. The first image shows the hole with minimal debris (before chalet got reworked). The third one shows the same size of the hole as the first image (third image is just the character standing a bit further back) but has far more debris compared to the first image.
