    This video was the perfect feel-good confirmation bias for me today. I felt like I was a little crazy thinking that Mauga is an awful experience playing against.

    • @rfrakctured
      @rfrakctured 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree. So far, the only tank I feel comfortable picking into Mauga is Ramattra, because you have the ability to poke him down if he's playing from range, and since he has no barrier, you threaten his backline and force resources using just your primary fire. You also have the option of cutting off his ranged support with your barrier when he charges in, and Ram's ult with Nano has a slightly better chance of winning in the Cage fight compared to anyone else.
      It seems the best counter to Mauga is using barriers to LOS his teammates from supporting him, but I don't know for sure, if barriers stop his Cardiac Overdrive from affecting his team.

    • @tylerboulware6510
      @tylerboulware6510 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @rfrakctured Yeah I also had settled in to Ram as a nice pick against Mauga. The only way I've had success is just ignore him and try to kill backline, but running a dive tank like doom or ball just lets the Mauga run over your backline, so poke with Ram and Sigma have been doing decently for me.

    • @DavionGlass
      @DavionGlass 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      ​@rfrakctured I can understand your viewpoint, however, as ram main myself, maugas existence kinds stops you from using nemeis, like, at all. if you dont block againist a mauga in nemeis, then you get shredded, if you do block againist a mauga, then your basically giving negative value. AT MOST you give YOUR supports ult charge.
      Your forced to block againist a mauga as rammatra and even WHILE blocking I noticed ram takes a lot of damage.
      I'm fine with ram is right now, I think ram takes a lot of skill and it should stay that way, I was just wanted to give my opinion on mauga vs ram.
      Ram staff form stops mauga, but now your in staff form the entire game untill mauga dies, and while staff form isn't the WORSE it is NOT good enough to do all the tanking.

    they thought 5v5 role lock would magically fix the game, but all it did was make problem of either dying instantly or staying alive forever worse
    you can't have tanks like mauga, hog, junker queen, etc. be good unless they feel oppressive because they are inherently "off-tanks" in a game that no longer has off tanks
    they just want to slowly make this game as generic as an FPS as possible so more people play and more people buy the battle pass; which means reworking the tanks and making them all fit one "Tank" archetype, and eventually limiting swapping or adding hero bans; at which point it will no longer be Overwatch, since the game's core design was around swapping and player agency
    there are simply more people that can aim and shoot near the glowing flashing objective than swap their comp 4 times to get through double shield on the first choke of volskya

    Exactly my thoughts. It's like they accidentally come up with a cool idea for a hero and then have no clue how to balance it.

      @abudgie6909 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think he should rely way less on lifesteal in general. His passive and cardiac overdrive work together to make him incredibly boring to play and play against. If he wants to live, he has to focus the enemy tank only. That makes the game terrible. As a winston main, I already find the current ranked hog meta frustrating, but at least I can win by dodging hooks. Mauga is just a second bastion.

    I won't lie, I enjoyed being dumb in quickplay just shooting up the other tank brainlessly. But that enjoyment died once I played with Mauga as support. You are forced into playing Kiriko, ana or Zen just to either keep your Mauga alive or kill the other tank fast enough for him to finally be able to shoot something else. Miserable experience.
    I will also say, I didn't have the battle pass for the first 2 days of season 8, playing against Mauga queued for tank was...an experience. If it wasn't a dive map like Gibraltar where I could use Winston, I was in pain.

    I wholeheartedly agree with your statements, because I've been feeling the same thing.
    The most interesting thing about him is that he can play for range and he can exploit characters who typically don't have vulnerable Crits and the idea that he could potentially pressure support from range by denying their heal over time passive is such an interesting concept for a tank. But sadly they essentially produced him down to a tank buster that's just going to enable a goats like comp and make playing any tank that's not directly his counter absolutely miserable to play against especially if they have tank busting heroes like Mei or bastion.
    I think another thing people don't realize is whenever mauga is being played it incentivizes the tank to be passive and not do anything to risky or flashy because the more the tanks getting hit the more mauga feeds off them.
    He's essentially punishing you for being proactive on tank.

    I feel like im the only person who enjoys Mauga's current gameplay. I love getting close and holding both buttons and hearing the BRRRR of his chain guns. Its exhilarating! But I can't stand the swapping guns to poke from far away style of gameplay. Its boring.
    And on the flipside it's super fun to dive in with Mauga as a support and watch him devistate an enemy team. I played a few games as Moira and would fade in with my Mauga. I could keep him up with heal, orb, and Coalescence while hiding behind his massive hitbox. I esentially had a shield with two guns who I could keep up and help deal damage with. If i was better at Kiriko I's sure I would be diving in with him aswell. I don't get the "boring" sentament that others have for healing a Mauga.

    So this is what i think could make him more fun. I think they should give some of his damage output to his slam. Like you said, they should give him slightly more armor and reduce some of his damage reduction, but i also think giving him slightly more accuracy to both mini guns should help against squishy targets. Maybe like sombra where the first few bullets in both guns fired are more accurate apon fireing, and then it becomes spread. But heres where the dynamic of his kit could become a little more fun and i think thats his slam. I think that who ever mauga lands on during slam should be set on fire for a brief second and the actually slam vertical height should be increased slightly, almost like the same height as when you do a zarya jump tech. This could make mauga feel in some cases like a dive/brawl tank, and i think giving him slightly extra mobility could open up for some more plays.

    I'm just tired of them adding abilities where you just click the button and it automatically does everything for you. There is absolutely zero skill to cardiac overdrive, you just press the button and boom you're just super buffed.
    Same with his ultimate, you just throw the button down and keep spamming your miniguns, no skill or thought involved.
    This is also an issue in the support role as well. Bap regen It's just a button that you push and it automatically gives everybody around you full health again. Illari pylon, you just throw it down and it just basically acts as a mercy pocket while she goes off and plays as a third DPS.
    They don't understand what it takes to make a skilled hero who actually requires strategy, planning, thought, and skill to get value out of. Every hero now needs to be easy enough for someone who has never played a video game before to pick up and win with.

    I think they should change Mauga's primary minigun to an overheat mechanic, where as the overheat bar progresses you will light enemies on fire instead of hitting a certain amount of bullets like it is now. If you shoot with your primary minigun for too long it will overheat and you will have to wait a second or two to fire it again. This would really add to the gameplay mechanic of "managing" his two huge miniguns, and make you have to think about how you use them. It would also prevent the issue where It feels like all you do is hold both buttons and spray the enemy tank at close range (Especially Mauga mirror matchups where you literally are forced to just constantly w key spray the enemy Mauga until you get melted instantly because you were first to reload, your healers made a tiny mistake and so on). They would of course have to balance this to make the mechanic feel very rewarding (maybe where you can build up damage on your secondary minigun based on how close to overheat your primary is, so you're constantly trying to rotate weapons to maximize efficiency) and also maybe increasing his ammo capacity more to compensate for overheating. I could even imagine having this mechanic for both weapons to keep a constant cycling rhythm between them, and when fired simultaneously you would transfer and distribute the overheat progress between them together feeling clunky. I'm already envisioning the steamy tssscht sound effect when you swap guns to let the other one cool off, and the way the audio of the gun would dynamically get more punchy as your weapons get hotter and hotter. Just came up with the idea, so it's poorly thought through, but tbh I think it would be kinda awesome.

    Literally does the 1 thing I want to do on DPS, but cant because of the way OW2 is played.
    This doesnt justify his existence. But i dislike it when people say "Nobody likes to play AS or AGAINST X character." Everyone is different bruh.
    But yes, like Illari another DPS character who just happens to be a support. He is just a trainwreck of character deaign.

    They buff him at start of Season 8, then week later nerf him out of the season. Now apparently, next week, yes a week after the nerf, they are planning to rebuff him (recind the ignite nerf and buff his survivability?) according to a recent article about the holiday event coming on Tuesday. They need to change Mauga's name to Whiplash, ffs.

    They don't know how their games work. Full stop.
    Blizzard makes arbitrary changes for the sake making changes, not for "balancing", but to make it seemed like they are working on the game. This is extremely obvious ever since Overwatch 2 was released. At least, when Jeff was still around, his team makes SIGNIFICANT changes.

    I disagree with the armor increase buff, I think the buff needs to be in his passive, that way he is rewarded with extra survivability for being good at the rest of his kit. Along with a nerf to his Cardiac Overdrive so he's not so reliant on it. I think this would make him so much more fun to play, Cardiac Overdrive just promotes the "Shoot the Tank" play style. Shifting his survivability away from it and to his passive would make him way more engaging.

    How about seperate ammo pools per indipenant weapon ? Damage up to 4.5, 15 bullets is ok, decrease the armor crits, 250 health 250 armor in health up to 500 health. Remove cardiac overdrive from supporting your teamates becusse then reaper will be unkillable and mercy, lower life rip to 45 and have 40 damage reduction, have it be interupted with sombra hack i mean ITS PROSTHETIC HEARTS WITH THOSE ROADHOG ASS LEGS, lower crit damage down to 6.7 damage and to reload a seperate weapon you have your weapon your fireing be reload or both when you have them both fireing if Moira can have her stupid ass kit then this should make sense, dont make him unkillable but dont make him shit.

    But no shield.
    It has hitscan weapon instead of out of reach melee. Mauga's ult is basically: look at me, kill me.
    The point is that being Mauga, I am pressuring too much my supports to be forced to use Kiriko and Ana

    Make him do damage again but make both guns shooting go through ammo much faster so instead of being able to shoot both for 10s have it be 6s max time from a full mag. In his current state of doing jack shit dps but only after tracking perfectly for a full second makes him a glorified support who’s only purpose is to follow teammates around and cardiac them.
    List of all the types of abilities that completely turn off Mauga’s damage and sustain.
    All shields, all forms of dm, all damage resistance, all stuns, all mobility, single shot weapons combined with jiggle peaking, not peaking when you’re on fire, all cleanses, Mei wall, sym tp, life grip, lamp, nano, range, high ground, anti
    People who complain about his damage are the same people who refuse to not stand next to an enemy sym, get hooked off cooldown, ego peak a widow sight line every fight, and people who just walk at rein for no goddamn reason. If you can’t handle not ego peaking a mini gun while you’re on fire you’re shit

    Blizzard's reworks of heroes, for a while now, have done nothing but make the heroes either less fun to play as or less fun to fight against.
    Orisa, Sombra, and Roadhog all became WAY less fun to play against with their reworks, while Bastion, Torb, and Doomfist all became way worse to play as.
    I dont care if they're "more competitively viable", they've had so much of their personality stripped out in favor of trying to enforce a boring strict meta.

    Let's be completely honest overwatch will never be truly balanced simply because the heroes are all complex in their own way... put it like this a Bronze-plat player might say that "Mauga" for example sucks because they don't know how to use his kit but diamond and up try to figure out his kit properly , Then the dev's listen to these fairly incompetent players opinions on Mauga then decide to buff him to the max to show players how strong his Potential is and to keep us his hype, Mind you all of this happened before his release ..Now the Bronze-plat players are being destroyed by him after his launch. they do these drastic changes because of the players mouths if the players say he sucks then the dev's say hey let's buff so people will buy ...They have to continue making money so now and for the foreseeable future Broken Balance=$$$ at least for new heroes ...Look at LW he was bad at launch they probably didn't reach release profit goals from that BP and the one that came after.
