They should make it so that the speed to set someone on fire depends on the amount of maximum health the target has. The tanks having more health points, you would have to wait longer to set them on fire. In exchange, a buff could be made so that it is the small enemies who take critical damage more quickly.
I he has his moments but you’re 100% right that he needs a over hall, but you know how embarrassing it would be to redo a newly released hero… it’s never happening
They need to rework him. The developers can give him another ability and make him replying on putting enemies on fire like puro from Tf2 and they can remove healing thing from this hero. I think if the developers did that, they can make the hero better in many ways.
On God I feel like he either is unkillable or pops like a balloon, I was very excited for him to join in game, because I used to be a One Trick Raum back in Paladins, but eventually dropped the hero, which resulted in me also dropping the game altogether due to the same reasons I am currently experiencing as Mauga. But this is probably just me being new to the game and not understanding Overwatch as a whole yet, but I do indeed feel as if Mauga is a severe feast and famine character locked inside the tank role.
Mauga is a ton of fun to play, but as he is, there's pretty much no reason to ever NOT fire both guns. Single fire damage is way too low and inconsistent to be worthwhile, the best you can hope for is single firing Gunny to ignite enemies while conserving ammo, and then dual firing once they're ignited. IMO they should get rid of the crit on burning effect, make both guns ignite, and then buff the damage by 50% to make up for the lack of auto crits and make single fire more valuable. Also, get rid of Cardiac overdrive, just make his passive generate OH on burning hits instead of crits, and up the limit to 300 OH.
You are right Mauga is probably the worst designed hero in the game, but i think that he is esier to fix (at least partialy) than heros like orisa and hog, because just by changing some stats you can discourage him to focus the tank and put a risk/reword factor in using both is minigun. For exemple he have way too many ammo to the point that in most cases it doesn't matter if he's using both miniguns, cause he can still shoot for more than 8 s without reloading. By just lowering his ammo to something like 120 or making him overheat his guns after using them both for 3 s, now mauga can no longer mindlessling shooting and have to manage his ammo usage. That alone will make mauga more skillfull to play and less frustrating to play against, but that would not solve the permafocussing on the tank, so he need his passive changed to reward shooting squishy heros insted of tanks maybe he gets more overhealth the less health the enemy shooted have. Obviusly that won't fix all the problem with mauga for that he would need a full rework
I remember when Paladins added Raum. Its a similar concept to Mauga, except he had to either use ability or pick up "soul fragments" which healed him. Entire games turned into "Two Raums shoot each other face-to-face until one of them dies, then one of the team loses an objective". This was stupid, this was boring, this was op, and Raum got nerfed... And then Overwatch adds almost the same thing. God. when will they rework him...
It’s a humorous dichotomy because I think mauga is the dumbest tank in this game, but playing tiny mauga in the April fools update is one of the funniest times I’ve had in this game
Rein isn't better to play than mauga... At least with mauga you can shoot the tank. Rein can only have a shield. Both characters are quite one-dimensional except that rein is weaker so it's obviously more fun to play against him. If you argue that rein can flank, so can mauga (now that overrun can easily be comboed into a kill). Also, if i play mauga without being a mauga mirror, i'd rather have moira than a kiriko even if they have ana, because you will have to play cover anyway as tank.
mauga is literally the worst tank. i’m new to the game and every time i’ve came across a mauga, i just play as d.va and instantly kill him with the boost shield rocket combo. mauga players are just stupid too. they only choose him cos he has 2 guns and a lot of health and defence. he’s so easy to counter regardless. d.va has a boost that lasts 3 seconds every 3-4 seconds. mauga can only run and the cool-down takes forever, so, he can’t even escape d.va. d.va has shields that completely stop his guns at close range, and if u rocket at the same time, half his health is already gone, then all u need to do is shoot the face
It’s not exactly bad for Mauga’s case because it’s just mainly the only thing he can do and he gets so much value from it and it and it can be very oppressive to go against depending on the tank you’re playing
I think hes fun. I use my stomp a lot, so its not just shooting mindlessly. I also do shoot everything in my way to make space, not just the tank. You definitely can use ur cardiac overdrive to help ur teammates get health in team fights and make it a bit easier for ur supports. I think hes really versatile, but i do feel cheap using him cuz hes OP
For sure his charge is his best mechanic, it's unstopabble done right, totally unlike fortify. It's so rewarding to stomp a Genji that dared to reflect your shots, or a moira that just used her fade. Of course, you're probably overextending and trading kills, but feels really nice. Overdrive is ok too, a bit all or nothing, but like a mini nano for an ulting reaper or soldier

This’ll be a good way to have him prioritize squishies more. He would have to get more health from shooting them too, rather than shooting the tank
They designed an off-tank after changing the game to only have main tanks
I he has his moments but you’re 100% right that he needs a over hall, but you know how embarrassing it would be to redo a newly released hero… it’s never happening
Unfortunately yea, we’re probably gonna have to wait like 6 months to a year at minimum for them to consider giving him a rework
the existence of this game is one huge embarrassment

He was designed to be a pay to win character so balancing him is much harder
I can easily agree with this, sadly.
Jokes on you I'm having fun
Except mirror match
Yea those mirror matches are ridiculous 💀
@@real_oneiro these ain't fun
Tanks need LOTS of changes
Every tank switch just to counter the enemy tank
@@normanbear The rock paper scissors design we've got is mind numbingly boring.

Get mental help

They fr went from being copied by paladins to copying them back 💀
Bro tell me the song in background , great video sums up my thoughts on him
Glad you liked it, the song’s meteor herd from Sonic Adventure 2 btw

Fun af for some
100% agree ;-;
You are not had to shoot the tank always you
Right?

and that's your opinion
To each their own then
Yes people have opinions no need to point it out like a dumbass... thank you for saying the obvious.
