People don't believe this, but there are people that pick up heroes super quick. The only thing I could say that players could do better after some more days, is to avoid him during his cardiac overdrive. Some people just still don't know how to take cover and that's a general thing, so I don't think people would improve on avoiding him
A great tip vs dva IMO is when she uses matrix, keep shooting her with just one gun. Dva players will waste all there fuel on that one gun and when they run out fire both.
I noticed that sigma is a lot better against Mauga than I thought if you trust your team. If you trust them you can focus solely on denying damage and then go for the kill when he’s low from your dps shooting at him
Sigma seemed to me about the only tank who stands a chance against him tbh. But that sucks because then everytime I see him now which is about 85% of my games I have to either try and dif them or play sigma and hope for the best. I just wanted to play some ball and doom for fun. 😢
@@sublimetoast1441 i have had more optimistic experiences, even playing as reinhardt if you play defensively and draw aggro so that your team can put the hurt on him, that's a victory in the making, the name of the game with mauga is to out sustain him through damage prevention
I knew my 1200 hours of Team Fortress2 Heavy would help me in other games. Heavy is a slow moving class that deals the most damage in TF2, he's also the biggest and healthiest. He is countered by long range and small speedy classes; Scout, Sniper, Spy. Manga is countered by Ana, Sombra, Tracer, and Hanzo.
You can also do a Cage OverRun combo. I’ve been doing it and it works well to put some extra damage in. When you put down your cage you have to press your OverRun key immediately and he will run charge and slam. After that just start shooting
I was wondering if headshots with right click on a burning target does more damage (plus more overhealth) than a regular body shot on a burning target lol.
Cover is Mauga best tool and biggest weakness, poking in and out between a wall and open space allows your supports a more relaxed fight but also allows plan better. When he uses cardiac overdrive yo can just sit behind a wall and allow it to pass over and then go back out when it’s over
I wanna point out that you can cancel overrun right as he does the jump at the end, which lets you travel further without enduring the immobility of the damaging slam (because it doesn’t happen)
Been using quite a few of these tips for a while I would say i play mauga a bit differently to other either using him to split up the team, push teams back or to defend teammates or objectives
I have 12 hours on him and a 71% winrate. Some things I’ve noted 1. Bastions an absolute joke to fight. Even without cardiac he out dps turret bastion and he’s just another character to farm hp 2. He has some of the best peel in the game. He’s fast as shit, boops and cc’s the enemy and is a mobile immortality field. (Ana after nading herself will heal 100hp per enemy shot) 3. Chase your feeding teammates and cardiac and they will literally never die despite how many people are shooting them. 4. Use the ult as a reload sometimes also don’t always shoot both guns at close range to save ammo especially when you don’t have cardiac, reloading while taking damage is a death sentence. (It takes 20 seconds to burn through 1 mag with one gun shooting and both takes 10 seconds) 5. It’s rarely worth it to dual fire on squishies unless they’re absolutely point blank 6. Charge parkour is insane learn it 7. Splats are insanely important to land but make sure you aren’t getting shot by the whole team while doing it 8. You should be healing/generating more then half the damage you take, if you aren’t farming something for health stop peaking. 9. Suzu the person he’s farming and he will just die (resets fire, heals 110hp and stops 285dps and 390hp/s for like 2 seconds) 10. He doesn’t really care about dr but shields and dm’s completely shut him down (rein’s actually pretty good into him, also overrun has a windup so he can’t counter pin)
I've been interested in seeing what can be done with his Charge as far as getting around the maps goes, can you recommend any videos that demonstrate this well, or have any other tips? Everything here seems sound and I think I wanna make him one of my mains going forward, once we see how Blizzard goes about balancing him post-release.
Best tip for Mauga vs Mauga, bait out the the E and then go in with yours and he dies. Right now Zarya is ok at Mauga but does quickly. A better pick is Sigma. Good Sigmas with proper cooldown management dominate Maugas
@@sebastianrodriguez8992 it's funny cause out of like 60 games on Mauga I haven't faced a DVA yet lol. Lots of Dooms, Sig, Zarya. A couple Wintons and 1 poor Rein that quickly swapped when he realized he was fukd haha
@@sonsoffishes1 It's a great counter since all of maugas sustain comes from his bullets and Dva just has to cover his entire body in the matrix and he can't heal at all so her team just gets to poke TF out of him If you have a Hanzo or Ashe and just pocket them while Dva uses DM mauga just explodes on cooldown 😂
I've found that if you play corner ram and shield dance with the normal form ram, you can kill mauga so easily, only go nemesis form if you dance around the corner or if he has no cardiac override you can punch him to death
Yea it's so funny to me noone mentions how since he needs to hit his shots to be effective, shields counter him heavy, and if you jus LoS then burst after cardiac, ez kills .
whoa wtf. lucio wasn't shown in the small hit box example lol, i love facing a mauga on lucio. you can just run circles around him and he literally can't do crap about it besides his ult but honestly i've noticed the small delay of him dropping his ult to be more than enough time for you to zip away, so many times now that i've wiggled out of that cage before it went up. and having the mauga just waste his ult.
I’m a masters player and have been playing a lot of gms recently and it feels like none of them have the feel for the tank yet or it could just be heavy support diff
Huh. I was really wondering if Rein was going to make it into his counters, because he can also deny Mauga’s heals with his shield and protect his team. Mauga could technically just shred your barrier, but if you manage it correctly, it can deny big chunks of value. Not to mention, Mauga’s burning effect obviously does not work on barriers.
Always picked Dva to counter him but never thought about Zarya Still don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to literally buff EVERYTHING he has after the blizzcon test. Felt like he was okay, small buffs would have been fine but right now he seems way too strong
So basically being aggressive with him like is shown in his hero trailer is a death sentence. I don't see how being defensive with him brings any value either tbh
Highest dps, highest health, self heal, bro can kill a road hog while the road hog is healing and being healed by 4 mercy’s, don’t believe me, test it right now😂 he’s insanely broken, how do we counter him?!?!?!?
You went over counters but didn't say a god damn thing about countering his ult??? As a support what are my options? Go in the shield and die or stay out and watch my teammates die? So far those are my only 2 options
Mauga's entire kit is built around surviving fights head on and forcing others into that match up. Trying to beat that with raw damage is not a good idea, so naturally you have to play carefully around him, and try to use your utility to make sure he doesn't get his way. That's just how overwatch works lol.
Does anyone actually enjoy playing as him? I swear, playing as him or against him is boring and annoying IMO. Hate him and the direction overwatch is going. Rip
"Experience mauga vs new mauga" well the character is out for about 1 day everyone is new lmao
@@tommyyuckguts5276 he will be good for awhile, they want to sell the battle pass.
u realise he got released for a few days lol
Great point

Hahahahahahahaha exactly
Love this 5min format. Very clear, straight to the point. Thanks !
Good Tips and explanation for his moveset and couters. Ps: Gunny is actually the one which ignites and Cha-Cha the one that crits on burning enemies.
I'm happy I wasn't the only one who thought that small detail was worth correcting him on😂
A great tip vs dva IMO is when she uses matrix, keep shooting her with just one gun. Dva players will waste all there fuel on that one gun and when they run out fire both.
Since you have a lot of ammo and the reload is really short, this should work well. Nice tip.

OW2 hero design: My hero does everything and the only "weaknesses" are that they don't do their powerful bologna quite as efficiently sometimes.

I love all these!
Ive found that a smart Winston with proper bubble usage can actually deny a good amount of damage and healing from Mauga
Best tip for Mauga vs Mauga, bait out the the E and then go in with yours and he dies. Right now Zarya is ok at Mauga but does quickly. A better pick is Sigma. Good Sigmas with proper cooldown management dominate Maugas
And Dva
Matrix just makes mauga have a very annoying time having to constantly stop shooting while getting shot
@@sebastianrodriguez8992 it's funny cause out of like 60 games on Mauga I haven't faced a DVA yet lol. Lots of Dooms, Sig, Zarya. A couple Wintons and 1 poor Rein that quickly swapped when he realized he was fukd haha

I played against you on new junk city while you were playing Zarya at the end of last season 😭 you were ruthless
I remember the match!
@@SpookiShow I was on an alt called rubbrducky1
"An experienced Mauga vs a new Mauga"
*checks calendar*
Mauga has been officially in the game for 1 day as of the posting of this video.
I used to think sigma was bad into mauga but now hes pretty good if your smart and deny him from shooting people
I've found that if you play corner ram and shield dance with the normal form ram, you can kill mauga so easily, only go nemesis form if you dance around the corner or if he has no cardiac override you can punch him to death

great, straight to it no fluffing around
Good advice with the charge, I've seen it used wrong so many times!
How are we feeling about the Mauga with and Vs Mei?
whoa wtf. lucio wasn't shown in the small hit box example lol, i love facing a mauga on lucio. you can just run circles around him and he literally can't do crap about it besides his ult but honestly i've noticed the small delay of him dropping his ult to be more than enough time for you to zip away, so many times now that i've wiggled out of that cage before it went up. and having the mauga just waste his ult.
I figured out that sojourn is a good counter if you pair it with your own muaga or hog, bastion,sojourn, mercy comp works well against him to.
I’m a masters player and have been playing a lot of gms recently and it feels like none of them have the feel for the tank yet or it could just be heavy support diff
does mauga counter rammtra and orisa ?
That Outtahere guy on your team lookin hella spicy
That was some spooki stuff, luv u
Great guide, easy to follow

Takes 2seconds to destroy full shield, braindead
No thanks, delete the character. Annoying to play with and against tbh.
Might as well just throw right? 😂
He’s so overpowered
Now this will get him more views than normal.
Always picked Dva to counter him but never thought about Zarya
Still don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to literally buff EVERYTHING he has after the blizzcon test. Felt like he was okay, small buffs would have been fine but right now he seems way too strong
always love your videos mate!
counters for mauga @ 4:05
I throw my mei ult in his cage everytime he pops it and it has worked probably 95% of the time. And he just feeds ult charge being so tanky
Thanks for the tips!
As a junker queen, if you have pocket mercy you can melt this mf till you reach level 45
I tried Zarya against him and i lost all the time. Not sure what i’m doing wrong
she's not good against him anymore since he got giga buffed
Nice, thx
So basically being aggressive with him like is shown in his hero trailer is a death sentence. I don't see how being defensive with him brings any value either tbh
I feel like Orisa is good against him when you poke with her.
Doggie how can I get some coaching from you?
All the details are on my patreon! Https://patreon.com/boocrew
