There is no proper way to change him in current form. He will be OP or Throwpick, with any changes in only numbers without rework. Same with Hog. Orisa is the 3rd tank with cca same mechanic, but she got a good defend tool (Fortify) a good CC (Javelin) and good escape/dmg mitigation tool (Spin) and she is not able to do horrendous amount of dmg on her own or 1shot easily.
preferably they keep him a throw pick tho 
does ANYONE actually like him

I like playing him. With the reduced charge cd you can more often get silly with positioning going to places really no other tank can and poking from there. As soon as the enemy tank gets annoyed of losing and makes it into a mauga mirror it becomes boring tho. They still lose, but it’s boring
I think people are overreacting. Since his last round of nerfs where he was sometimes an ok counterpick he got an extra 1 second of burn a 1 second charge cd reduction and a 15% faster run. That’s it. No way that makes him broken right?
I like playing him, I don’t mind playing against him, as I am willing to swap if countered. But I do think his design is very unhealthy, and I hate being a support on his team, as he needs to be healbotted so hard with the dmg he takes.
all the microbuffs do add up and he does benefit from speed boost as well. the charge speed buff along with how much damage a direct stomp does (with a stun too) is crazy. you cannot escape him if he charges at you or avoid it.
not that it matters but he’s meta in owcs
and im seeing him a lot in my games too and he’s doing well for himself
One of the easiest tanks to nuke.
If your team can’t kill Mauga then your team sucks. Just saying.
Oh don’t get me wrong his design is not good, and I hate playing support with a mauga because you do just heal bot and it’s insanely boring
I do think people are overreacting a bit though but maybe that’s just how it goes with heroes who bully other heroes so hard like mauga; if they become even the slightest bit viable even as a niche pick (I guess not even that niche anymore) it’s frowned upon, I get it.
Yeah not happy about that, but also they could fix that by nerfing his aoe team buff or just removing it. I’m not sure if that viably nerfs the hero in ranked too much though. At the very least I play mauga by just going on flanks (unless it’s a mirror) so maybe I’m biased
Maybe they nerf the DMG and DMG reduction a bit on charge. I do think it’s better, design wise, if he’s able to reposition more actively or go for direct stomps as a more skillful way to get value.
I also still think you could make it so his crits on burning enemies respect the tank headshot reduction passive and it might just be enough to fix him against tanks without destroying his value against squishies but idk.
At the very least when they made fortify ignore forced crits orisa became much much better against mauga. I don’t think he’s too unfair against squishies anyway.
Their is a sub reddit filled with Mauga mains.
Mauga is usually manageable if your supports know how to play Zen or Ana. Otherwise he’s a royal pain, especially if your tank does not know how to deal with him.
a tank that sucks and is not a tank but a dps with more hp because he dont have any deffensive ability and clearly works better with another tank to support his weakness, yeah
