Ah yes. Let’s give a tank the most HP of all tanks, 2 hit-scan chain guns with the best range in class. Let’s also make sure those don’t overheat and instead can lay down fire for 20 seconds straight.
Let’s also give him the highest priority movement ability that even Reinhardt’s charge can’t interrupt.
Let’s also give him self healing.
Let’s also give him ignite, and a passive that let’s him auto-crit ignited enemies.
Oh let’s also give him an ultimate that persists beyond his death.
I don’t see anything wrong with this.

I like how the Sigma had to precisely use all of his abilities. Even expertly shield dancing during the whole fight but Mauga won by just going the entire time👍

[Daka_Bear]

A Mei named Walled is probably the most bm thing I've ever seen.

[unhinged]

Mauga is actually terribly designed since hes always going to be dog water or broken as shit depending on his numbres, no in between

[ghidotheone]

Mauga is the raid boss all tank players thought they wanted but none of the other tanks are in a comparable state to compete with him and it just makes everything awful.

[nathanwiccan]

anytime i go up against a mauga i immediately know its not gunna be a fun game, especially when his run stomp ability can headshot like who thought that was a good idea

[femtrapta]

Mauga definitely needed a couple more seasons in the workshop. Kinda the problem with announcing what roles gets what beforehand, there's not always gonna be that Sigma in your back pocket to bail you out if the characters not fully ready

[krislillies]

love how Orisa has a cooldown for her gun, yet the one character who uses miniguns that specify in heat dont need a cooldown and instead just a reload....great job devs

[deathbossom]

As a tank main, Mauga is the worst tank I've ever played. He's very boring to play, he's 100% anti-fun when playing against him and is absurdly broken. They've done a terrible job in designing him as it forces the supports to pool their resources into him or he folds, at the detriment to the rest of the team. I'm now starting to see and play games where we make a "no Mauga" pact-which I accept without hesitation. I've never hated playing or playing against a hero such as this one. Just terrible. I'm not even going to bother with ranked until season 9. The game in general just feels terrible to play right now. There's so many things wrong with it it's unreal how they're happy in it's current state.

that poor sig got double ulted and mai walled in. As a tank main I felt his pain in my soul.

[farmeracob]

this hero legit makes me not want to play anymore.

Like to take the time to remind you all...
Speak with your money, not with your mouth... if this is what you want to see more of then by all means continue to fund and support it. No complaint will reach the ears of the devs, only their profit margins will show them how you truly feel.

A good tip for mauga is that u dont need to be scared of wholehog if you have your E. You almost always outheal his damage as long as you arent point blank up his face getting crit.

[darkhydra]

I still think its unhealthy game design to lock characters behind paid battlepasses in team games that expect you to swap. Like at least in fighting games its only you and you can normally outplay in 1v1 skill situations against dlc, here if your tank doesnt have Mauga or your support doesn't/didn't have Kiri the entire team is suffering and a team should not suffer because people didn't buy a battlepass.

[hobosorcerer]

Honestly, the biggest nerfs he needs are ammo reduction & increased spinup time (or just Orisa-style overheat, idk). Don't let him apply free pressure with his guns whenever he wants-- make him have to think before pulling the trigger.

[Relevart]

literally every single hero except LW has been a must pick since release

[skrillsz_]

I hate the fact there are still people who don't think he is busted.

[SlobberyPantsu]

And i thought they'd never top the absolute disaster that Brigitte was at her launch

[lilboired]

It's hilarious that they pulled this 180 on us when they fully released him. When they tested him, he was actually okay! He was just weak to certain counterpicks (you know the main one) and would get folded when that happened. Blizzard is just selectively deaf and only heard the "Mauga isn't that great-" part of the sentence. They never finish reading what we have to say, only either skimming through it or answering the first part of the question without even glancing at the fact that there's a comma, not a period.
I wanted Mauga to be just a solid character, but now he's just mobile Orisa, so I don't even play him in comp. QP depends on how I'm feeling, but as it stands, Mauga is wayyy too OP and I'll only pull him out on an Orisa switch occasionally.

[fallinglief]

As a Doom main I thought Orisa was bad.

Now when I enter a game, I'm almost praying the enemy tank DOES go Orisa instead of this extremely balanced character, since she at least needs team resources. Mauga can literally 1v4 and get away with it while I'm harassing the enemy backline, and by the time I maybe steal 1 or 2 kills my entire team is dead. That, or the Mauga comes back to peel and I evaporate in 2 seconds because he deals Bastion levels of damage.


Personally, I'm avoiding Overwatch till the nerf hammer happens in the mid season or next season.
