He is fun its just certain characters people enjoy playing are really difficult to play into a mauga but if you're like a hard sig/hitscan enjoyer you melt through him like butter
It seemed like everyone liked him in the S7 preview weekend, though he was a little weak. So the devs took the constructive criticism, then completely ignored it and buffed every part of his kit apart from ONE thing getting removed (the extra firerate while shooting both guns)
I think the community should just play him more and remove the toxic stigma behind the character If you enjoy him just play him and be positive and kind in your matches the more people do it the more it catches on
Unethical character... You have violated the Geneva conventions on inhuman plays in casual competitive e-sports, please procured to the nearest police station after you finish your game XD
I mean rn he isn't that bad its just the people in the video are from qp so of course they wont be that coordinated or understand how to beat a mauga but competent players can crush him if hes not paying attention
Idk if it’s just me, but when you have these products recommended for sale on the page event when I exit out of it when I’m streaming from my phone to my tv it just shows half the screen with those products. Like can’t watch the video at all lol
I mean he technically still is its just harder to get value with single fire vs unga bunga spray and pray which i wish wasn't the only way cuz sniping and playing longer distance with him and using cardiac to buff teammates is honestly really fun but only playing to dive in and spam cardiac when your within breathing range does get boring
@@sebastianrodriguez8992 Yeah, we're on the same page. Technically, you can do it but it's not very effective. That really should have been the gameplay that they aimed for, but they made some very weird choices. - Flame + Auto crit is meh but enables face tanking - Too much spread on single fire means he can't reliably hit headshots on squishies past the range he should be using both guns - Double gun should have more risk/reward, maybe it overheats quickly but has a faster fire rate or something - Cardiac overdrive is too strong while his passive is only really reliable when farming tanks. A small amount of overhealth on headshot is WAY more interesting and would differentiate him as the tank that can have sustain while purple.
@@THYnameISsarcasm Yeah I feel like that's where his issues lie Like you said most of his kit has the potential to be great but little things about each of em just don't add up to making it all feel great Double guns do decent damage but unless you just endlessly spray into someone for 8 seconds most of the time they won't die and can get off way too easily so having overheat but increasing the reward on actually landing shots would be great Plus the number one thing I always wanted for Mauga is just single fire to be better cuz being a sniper tank is pretty fun I just wish it was better and more rewarding than just constant spray and pray
What has this game become? I started after a 3 month break, got told by everyone on my & the enemy team to unironically kms and ended up crying all game. I can't take this...
Honestly wish Mauga’s kit altogether wasn’t so brain-dead because the actual weapons feel good as fuck to fire and that out actually is rad but the rest of the kit together just feels so boring when put together.
The passive is good, the guns are good (could be a little less accurate when shooting both however), the ultimate is good but a little cheap with the hinder effect, and the charge is okay, just out of place in the kit as it stands currently. His biggest source of grief is cardiac, without it he falls over and with it he and everyone around him is unkillable. A nerf or even complete alteration to cardiac's functionality, and then a buff to his passive to make up for the reduced survivability might make him less frustrating of a design.
@@tau-5794 oh yeah Cardiac’s absolutely my big gripe with him and I wish it did something for him beyond lifesteal, honestly even if it was a temp regen and speedboost to make him more of a grounded dive tank would be more fun than lifesteal.
@@AllistorRichards What I'd do is change his passive so he also heals at a slow rate (like 20 per second) per burning enemy, and then cardiac only gives lifesteal to your teammates, but also shoots out a wide ring of fire that can ignite multiple enemies and make it easier to light a full team in a brawl. Shifting some of the healing away from cardiac into his passive would make abilities like anti nade less impactful most of the time, and also mean you could bait out things like suzu, and switching it from lifesteal means his raw healing numbers can be lower yet he'd still be strong at like, poke and midrange instead of always needing to be up close and always needing to shoot only the tank for maximum survivability.
@@tau-5794The only thing is i like the concept of him buffing his teammates is really cool and encourages team play and playing close its just the self buff thats been problematic since hes either unkillable while blasting someone with no defenses up or he flops over so fast because all he has is the 30%Dr and he still just explodes
@@Foxtrottin.He can be really fun if its not a mauga mirror or a mauga V hog Getting actual matches vs more difficult characters and learning to break through their defenses to get the kill is satisfying to learn
@@sebastianrodriguez8992 yeah I can see that. I just don’t find him that fun, but I don’t really play tank cuz I suck. I can see what you described as being fun tho. Valid reason.
@@Foxtrottin. Main thing I like about him is actually the main thing people want gone from Mauga which is the AOE buff which I think makes him pretty neat since you can directly buff and assist your teammates and we even saw this in owcs they basically played support maga and used the buff for teammates while you apply pressure with constant damage which is way more fun than staring contest with cardiac
You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villian.
You either die a Rein or live long enough to see yourself become the Mauga
@@tiggle5485 Flats needs to put this on his grave lmao-
Flats: “Ready for grip”
Also Flats: *breaks LOS in virtually every way possible*
Karq: "Ok go in and I'll grip you out."
Also Karq: *_Backs up to previous corner removing distance for grip._*
This is why I playing tank myself. Now nobody heals me instead 😂
KarQ only gripping at every moment he shouldn't 😭😭😭
Rare footage of flats playing tank

I didn’t know flats played tank 😳 he would be great at Reinhardt if he did play tank
@@kagamiuchiha5837maybe even get Top 500 🥹
Well he is built like one
@@Axeallot💀💀💀💀
Oh no, mirrorwatch got to flats. This isnt flats, this is EVIL flats.
Correct. This is High heels
The corner discussion mid match was great.
Poor Flats… he was forced to play tank.
Couldn't sleep but watching tank gameplay helped me instantly.
Those were actually the best Lifeweaver pulls I've ever seen! (I've never seen a good one)
I love the image of defending the point in a 3v5 just to see the Mauga and Life weaver in the middle of the fight turning an arguing at each other
This made me realize how my friends won against Karq while discussing braiding leg hair
Mauga is my favorite character but I guilty when playing him. I just want to have fun.
He is fun its just certain characters people enjoy playing are really difficult to play into a mauga but if you're like a hard sig/hitscan enjoyer you melt through him like butter
I trusted you
No honor in OW these days 😂
Ok mauga buff aside before he got buffed I thought his kit was really cool and fun and now I feel guilty playing him 😢

KarQ subjecting Flats tk the soloQ tank experience lmao
"Master class, more like Master ass. " -Flats 2024
Mauga quick play demon eh?
Honestly after watching this, if I ever see Karq on LW on my team I dodge.😂
6:02 - 6:26 that looked like hell also these grippes are best
The ashe legit took the time to type "me on mauga" 😂😂😂
Mauga is only ethical to play if the enemy is running unethical characters themselves (sombra, hog, mauga, bastion, etc.)
Agreed
And don’t forget orisa
@@kingclampz6081of course, how could I forget

Korean Mauga tech is back bb
Se se'i koikiiki! - Flats
i read the title and knew i was in for a treat
This is the type of match that causes loss of sanity for a tank player.
i wish mauga had better balancing cus i really like the character
I mean rn he isn't that bad its just the people in the video are from qp so of course they wont be that coordinated or understand how to beat a mauga but competent players can crush him if hes not paying attention
Downright evil

Yeah that's TH-cam being goofy. TH-cam is weird with TV mode for some reason.
thank god KarQ is always there to save flats🎉 what an amazing support player
Dude that’s hilarious 😂 what a play 😂
idk if you'll read this but if you havent already done it try some diddy kong racing music. I think theyd be fun for when your popping off.
Rare footage of flats playing OW2. We wouldn't mind elden ring content...
It still hurts that they made Mauga a weird tank Reaper instead of making him an aim tank

I went up against so many mangas this weekend istg if one of them was you 😂
Damn bro you must be cooked, mangas have some pretty op characters 😅
@@DOTHEDIRTY 🤣🤣🤣 js realized I think it was autocorrect mauga
@@joshccelli2584 😉🤣
When karq says that he can play all supports, he doesn't mean that he can play them well
your evil for that title
Huh, I thought Mauga had infinite ammo while in his Q. Did that get changed or was it never a thing.
It reloads his weapon I think
What has this game become? I started after a 3 month break, got told by everyone on my & the enemy team to unironically kms and ended up crying all game. I can't take this...
I just fininshed The Expanse yesterday and its fantastic. deff check it out if you're into sci fi or just good world building

Oh hey, new vid
a yes a balanced game lmao

Balanced gaming 😂

It was definitely donkey Kong 64 and then Super Mario Sunshine

You know i liked Mauga on launch.... But i just feel like he's so boring now, i actually hate him now.
Still don't know how to lock characters. Oh well
It means pick
