What is MIT in Overwatch 2 and how to Mitigate Damage?
Overwatch 2 has finally arrived after much anticipation. The successor to the popular hero shooter title 'Overwatch' has introduced several changes and additions to the new game over its prequel. These include new Heroes, changes to the competitive mode, UI changes, a skin of a new rarity level, and more.
One such change is in terms of the scoreboard, where players now find a new stat called 'MIT.' MIT stands for Damage Mitigated, which means the amount of incoming damage blocked. It acts as a replacement for the stat 'Damage Blocked' in the previous title.
MIT is an interesting statistic on Overwatch 2's scoreboard. This allows users to track their performance for their roles. Since MIT stands for damage mitigated, Tank players are likely to have this stat scored higher than users who play the Support or Damage role. However, Heroes in other roles can stack up this stat.
It is calculated based on the incoming damage a player blocks off, i.e., preventing themselves or their teammates from getting damaged by enemy players. Every point of damage prevention is counted towards MIT. However, this is not limited to the Shield abilities of characters such as Reinhardt and Zarya. Abilities such as Ana's Nano Boost, which allows users to take hits with reduced damage, are also taken into account while calculating total MIT.
While most players only care about the number of eliminations or Damage stats, plenty of gamers will be looking to up their MIT stats due to various 'Challenges' in-game. This rewards users with exceptional experience points, which goes towards leveling up the Battle Pass and unlocking exciting items for use in the title.
If you wish to Mitigate Damage, it is recommended to play Heroes who can protect their allies.
