If there was ever a hero that I believe should be the first hero to be vaulted in this game due to sheer design stupidity, it’s mauga.
I said it when he had his weekend trial, I said it when he released, and I’m saying it again.
This hero is fundamentally HORRENDOUSLY designed. A tank buster… SHOULDN’T EXIST in the tank role. This hero has nothing going for him outside of being impossible to kill, and melting the enemy tank hero. He makes 90% of the tank role unplayable and the leftover is himself, dva and sigma. And dva + sigma BARELY stand a chance.
His skill floor is in hell, his skill ceiling is non existent, and he has the most boring playstyle known to man. He’s anti fun across the board.
He’s not fun to play as because you’re forced to just shoot the enemy tank permanently. He’s not fun to play against because if you’re on the tank role you’re forced to mirror or you just don’t get to play the game. And he’s not fun to play with because you’re on the support role, you don’t get to do anything but pump healing into him 24/7 or else he’ll blow up.
He has essentially infinite uptime on his miniguns since it has 300 bullets, and a short reload (short reload in comparison with the fact it has THREE HUNDRED BULLETS).
Idk how we didn’t learn immediately from his first meta last season, this hero should NEVER be the strongest pick in the game. So how blizzard comes to the conclusion that they should giga buff him AND nerf the dps passive at the same time is beyond me. Hopefully a hotfix patch happens soon to nerf him because mauga’s already meta again, and I’d unironically rather take a bath in boiling water than play in another mauga meta.
