I think this raises the importance of DPS in a way now that flanking supports is the way to go if you want a Mauga dead. Characters like Echo and Junkrat have consistent one-shot combos and flanking ability to take down annoying Kiris and LW.

[@favlam1408]

@@ageometrydashlevel9830 Excepted there is currently no reliable dps that can take down supports pocketing each other, some flankers that are designed to counter supports get counter by supports instead. Echo can be shot down by hitscan or Illari and Bap, Junkrat and "consistency" is not a combo I would use together. The skill required to counter Mauga right now is just too one-sided.

[@ageometrydashlevel9830]

@@favlam1408 Currently, DPS fights up front with Mauga because they typically run characters that can benefit from Cardiac, so enemy DPS is out of the question most of the time. Junkrat, Echo, Tracer, Sombra, or any other flankers can use off-angles that enable them to get behind enemy supports. Certain characters have one-shots that happen so fast that the supports die even before IF or Cleanse are used.

[@favlam1408]

@@ageometrydashlevel9830 Out of all the list, I can see Tracer being the most effective against supports, but there are a lot of supports with vertical mobility, can get out of her range, or two shots her. Widow and Hanzo can be shut down by flankers, so it's a moot point. As far as I see it, flankers shut down snipers, supports shut down flankers. Plus, the skill required to play snipers and flankers versus Mauga and his team going brrrrrr is like night and day.

nah still tho, you would want to pick off the supports first.

I feel like Mauga will be an unbalanceble character because of the way he works he will either be oppressive for other tanks or weak against most, he is stronger against bigger character so it will make him strong against tanks but if you nerf him because of that then he will suffer against smaller characters, the worst part is that I dont really see a way to balance this.

[@dutifulbarrel9084]

@@jammyweegit1144 That sounds like a good way for blizzard to break a lot of current systems

[@ChrisCarlos64]

As the game grows and adds more, especially tanks. Balance goes out the window and that never comes back. They don't have a good grasp on it already but that is okay. Most games like this know they cannot so they purposefully balance characters they want to see in play more. League of Legends for example will do things like nerf beloved characters for some dumb reason but when pro season is around the corner? Suddenly the Lee Sin who got nerfed for no reason gets crazy good buffs because they know he is a favorite among pro players and needs to be good for pro plays. This will happen if Blizzard takes their cue and goes with that flow. Though with OWL dead maybe it will not be as pronounced.

[@valkrian0974]

Mauga doesn't need balance, all characters need to be buffed to his level for balance. For example Ana needs 3 sleep darts that never refill until completely empty. Once empty she recharges another 3 instantly upon death or after 10secs from running completely out. Widowmaker needs free swing like Hammond and the ability to hang from walls and ledges like a spider. Farah and Mercy should have free flight modes with cool downs. Mei's ice slide emote needs to become a mobility ability with cooldown for quick escapes.

[@princessstrawberry4623]

Yeah he doesn't need a nerf or a buff he needs a full rework. Idk whose idea it was to put a second bastion except ten times tankier into the game, but it wasn't a good one

They apparently took away LW lifting the cage after its been placed down with Mauga's season release, but LW can place the petal first and Mauga can place the cage on it in the air, and when the petal breaks the cage will drop down on whoever is there

Exactly, I was playing Winton into Mauga and I could almost do nothing. Didn’t help that my team wouldn’t dive with me, they were only shooting Mauga whose health wasn’t going down at all because of a Weaver who I would try to dive. Had to always prematurely dip before confirming the kill. Sure that can be an issue with mistiming Monke but Mauga just shrinks that timing where you can’t make value. Every time I play Mauga it feels really fun but definitely broken against other tanks. My opinion is the other tanks should be buffed more than Mauga being nerfed because I like playing against him with other roles, he’s just not balanced against tanks.

@@wusaint Yup, I hate it. I loved Winton’s new buff of ignoring armor but it literally does nothing if you get instantly zoned out. The only tank I’ve seen that can hold ground to Mauga is JQ so far. My big issue is I like Mauga, I think it’s fun not to explode instantly. But if I want to play anything other than Mauga I just go back to classic tank for the last few seasons of turn a corner and poof. I thought the video that… was it Jay3, where the team shares a health pool really helped show the issue with burst damage and healing in its current state. I think supports are important but shouldn’t be harder to kill than the tank. Ana and Bap are the main two I have in mind. It’s the same a lot of the sups though, that’s why I’ve started on my Lucio binge. Lucio is the weakest sup in my opinion. Not cause he’s bad, just cause every other support is overblown.

Mei's wall seems to be one of the most effective ways to counter Mauga. It's giant, has tons of health, and the sheer size can effectively block LoS of his healers unless they have high ground, were off angling, or can get over the wall quickly (Bap and Kiri for example). It was in QP, but I had a match last night where the enemy Hog would hook me in and then Mei would wall behind me, and it was basically a free trip back to my team's spawn. Watching the replay after I think I should have charged past them to get behind the enemy team, creating some distance and hopefully giving me a chance to heal a bit with my E. Her ult lobbed into an enemy Mauga's ult can also completely turn Mauga's ult against him if the enemy Mauga can't cancel and charge away in time. I do think Mauga needs a bit more tuning and I can totally agree his biggest issue right now is he basically forces the meta for both teams, but folks are figuring out how to counter him decently enough that I think, with a bit more time, he'll still be a threat but not the complete slam dunk he can appear to be. He's still very predicated on playing around cover unless he's being pocketed, and if the enemy has an Ana and neither of your team's supports swap to Kiri, Mauga's gonna have a bad time.

[@movesmatter4514]

You know what really broken? Back fill. Been in 4 games where the game will not back fill a qp game. FLATS HELP US!

[@TelestIcy]

Same. I've had the same issue, even without mauga matchups people just leave with no backfill and man the games are just trash.

[@aplacewherefunandfunkythin705]

dude what is your qp mmr

[@danielmaldonado5267]

Friend: “So what do you think of the new tank, Muga” Me: “HOW DID IT MAKE IT TO LIFE SERVERS”

[@xSpeakerYT]

Friend: What's a life server?

[@jakridings4718]

Mauga really highlights what tanking has become since OW2...

[@chucksto]

Mauga is the perfect character to live your Dragon Ball fantasies

[@geoDB.]

Me: steps on something PLEASE DON'T BE DOGSHIT PLEASE DON'T BE DOGSHIT Bottom of my shoe: 16:24

[@jacobyshmurda2650]

This looks really fun and interactive

[@austincantshych134]

When only using 1 of the guns is the left or the right better is there a difference?

[@MrHat.]

The left one lights enemies on fire. The right one does crit damage to enemies on fire.

[@marcusbullock2753]

With Mauga you can’t even fall of the map if he has ult no escape lmfao.

[@beermarket9971]

It's like a Bronze game where everyone is playing projectile

[@flippero4918]

Ah yes, reloading 700 bullets in 1 second makes sense

[@StevenBruleMD]

Mauga gameplay is less compelling to watch than Orisa is, and that's something I never thought I'd feel.

[@TechIMO]

Comp on console (in masters and low GM) almost always devolves into a mauga mirror right now. I love ball and would much rather play him but Mauga bullies him and every other tank so hard that it’s not even fun 😭

[@puppyfrog]

Its ridiculous how little their health changed

[@AthanDrakharr]

This looks like SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun

[@SmokeyOwOs]

Blizzard out here putting out heres that can only teeter on being completely broken or absolutely dog water with no inbetween.

[@AlienFan25]

Off topic but if they ever did a dragon ball collab. Could you imagine Mauga as Broly?

[@HuskyTorchiks]

This mental image is both hilarious and terrifying, being the broly would be great, but everybody gangsta till Broly starts running right at you

[@AlienFan25]

@@HuskyTorchiks But like could you imagine? He could even have a play of the game of him powering up and saying different line. (Mostly thinking of Fighter Z outros). I would hope for some custom lines that broly said, his ultimate could be green. Doesn't matter which Broly they'd use either but I think Z would work a little better but either way would be great.

[@sebastianrodriguez8992]

That would be the coolest thing ever and he can go super Saiyan when he activates cardiac and have his hair float That would be awesome

[@namehereplease1211]

Had a match earlier that had 3 tanks (including mauga) and 2 dps. For the love of everything mauga wouldn't die. at all.

[@nickymilly9900]

5:18 they need to throw him back to bronze for that take😭

[@shawnboyles3415]

The funny thing is I agree how broken he is because I play reaper and it takes 20 minutes to kill him once

[@LashawnG]

i don’t play overwatch anymore but the first minute of this video is already so depressing

[@ttnf_king3061]

Its like we’re playing orisa against orisa or ram v ram when he first dropped

[@ttnf_king3061]

Also mauga makes the dps roll almost useless

[@Senjumarukun]

play a mirror match mauga makes your brain melted

[@Senjumarukun]

its most boring mirror of this game

[@archerdavidson6066]

Bro Flats ur not slick with the 90's game music in the background

[@BornTwinkie]

It’s kind of like either choosing to get kicked in the nuts over and over and over and feel all of the pain or get smacked in the face and feel none of the pain from the smack but all of the pain from the whiplash

[@azakatura]

this might be worse than goats.

[@HexJayBun]

My only complaint with Mauga is that he is in a battlepass and not unlockable through challenges like the OW2 launch heroes. Also, I'm used to the minigun mirror match, I played Raum in Paladins when he was meta, so i find bottomless mags of minimal damage really fun.

[@sebastianrodriguez8992]

They're always unlockable via challenges after the season But during you have to get XP and work to tier 45

[@HexJayBun]

Yeah, that's what i don't like, having to work through the battlepass or wait to do challenges. Buying the battlepass and skipping the challenges, sure. It's incentive to buy the pass. But forcing you to wait until the season is over is a little ridiculous. Just have the challenges up front and take them out of the pass.

[@sebastianrodriguez8992]

@@HexJayBun I believe they will be doing that soon since everyone hates counter swapping and with new heros that's arguably a worse issue now

[@HexJayBun]

@sebastianrodriguez8992 Once that is implemented, i likely will have zero issues with new heroes unless they are tremendously busted or pathetically weak.

[@raffyarceus99]

Blizzard has proven that they have no idea how to balance 5 vs 5😂
