Mauga is Reinhardt Player's Worst Nightmare!

[@debajitpal5238]

The fact that Reinhardt's charge can be hooked and interrupted in many ways, but not Mauga's is embarrassing. The fully-armored, jet-propelled charge < half-naked running dude.

[@oneofthekindscarf8612]

[@baronofhell8969]

As a person who primarily plays rein, seeing nearly every other hero out preform him sucks to be the rein, cause no matter what you do you never win unless the enemy team is literally afk and then you might have a chance of winning and with mauga it makes this worse cause he tickles mauga cause of the lifesteal

[@yuehan6711]

mauga should have shots to burn decreased, dual wield spread decreased and damage majorly decreased, so hes no longer so absurdly strong against tanks and his passives more consistent against squishies. i think.

[@spellbound8253]

Rein’s shield does stop mauga’s lifesteal, so if Rein is shielding a bastion mauga is screwed and must dip or die; no tank alone can really take on mauga

[@redmancalvin]

That comment you made in the end about Mauga........the most real thing i've heard!! You got my respect bro for keeping it real!

[@basicallykiet1611]

I had a lot of succes with Reinhardt vs Mauga but it is super tedious. You can only peak him with shield and have to rely on your team to shoot him, you might do almost no damage but you win by having 4 times his mitigation.

[@llllTatollll]

I got 21 hours on mauga so far with a 70%wr and a rein is genuinely one of the harder tanks to deal with. Mauga cannot counter pin on reaction(mauga’s wind up unlike rein’s can be charged), is a walking fridge and is gonna be moving at 3.5m/s strafing so basically impossible to not land the charge whenever you want and because rein’s faster then you it’s extremely easy to angle for a cliff or into your team. If mauga does actually counter pin he’s gonna go flying past into the enemy team before he can cancel. It’s impossible to miss a fire strike on him. Mauga’s 180dps on shield takes almost 8 seconds of nonstop shooting to break solo. If rein waits till he’s on fire to block and actually recharges shield sometimes shield should never break and mauga will never self heal and rein can completely shut out cardiac. Mauga has very little counter play to shatter. He can’t really jiggle peak and only overdrive predicting it can avoid it

[@mrsalty8050]

You need to get a life if you have 21 hours when he came out not too long ago plus other characters that you’ve been playing besides him

Mauga counters every tank except Sigma and maybe DVA and Zarya.

[@hooni2212]

​@@davidnewhart2533yeah. Sigma honestly counters Mauga pretty good if played well. Zarya doesn't counter necessarily but she can also deal with him if played well. Dva depends if you have a good team to help you lol, cuz yeah u can defense matrix but if no one is helping then once matrix is out ur dead

[@jackdryden7452]

yeah but once your cooldowns are gone the enemy DPS, who has definitely gone bastion, just shreds the shit out of you because you're all out of dick @@hooni2212

[@kaseyh.1021]

I feel so powerful but yet so squishy at the same time on Mauga

[@juliencamus3523]

Since Rein is easy to play (but hard to master) Blizzard seems to use him to develop counter tanks. If you look at the new tanks (despite Junkerqueen) they're all built to destroy Rein. For example, the Orisa rework is clearly an archetype of a Rein counter. It's weird because you dont see this for Dva, Zarya or Sigma. OW2 is tought for classical maintank players...

[@tiggle5485]

[@rage_tv4493]

[@nyxxose]

Despite how easily Mauga can shred through shields akin to Bastion, bear in mind that he has to hit PLAYERS to trigger the life-steal from Cardiac Overdrive. Timing it correctly is paramount to winning key teamfights.

Reinhardt's charge needs to be unstoppable just like Mauga

[@GreenBro11]

No. An unstoppable insta kill move is too strong. Mauga’s charge needs to be nerfed so it operates like every other charge move that collides where both get knocked down. Mauga is over buffed in that regard because Blizzard wants his debut strong.

[@hooni2212]

​@@GreenBro11I disagree that Mauga's charge needs to work like a normal charge. Because it's not like it's actually that strong to use in combat, it's not like a Reinhardt pin who will deal 240 dmg easily or a doomfist punch who will stun a full team. It's a pretty mediocre engagement tool already to the point good Maugas use it as a disengage tool. And it helps him disengage without getting shit on by characters like Ana.

[@skarloeythomas5172]

@@hooni2212 He doesn't deserve an unstoppable peel/retreat ability. Can't duel Mauga so you go for his backline, he can peel and stun you. If you somehow get a competent Mauga crit, he can barrel away with high mitigation and can't be stopped.

@@skarloeythomas5172 he doesn't have a shield or anything to protect himself.
