Let's talk about the Mauga elephant in the room, shall we?

" They are currently the most powerful enemy unit available, having the most health of any foe as well as heavy damage. Before firing, the Heavy Assault must rev up its twin Chain guns. If a player gets to close, it will charge at them, similar to Reinhardt.

That my friends is the description of the Talon Heavy Assault bots from the Overwatch Retribution archive mode. Of which Mauga is one of those Heavy Assaults from Talon where he met Bap but I can’t help but feel like this is just a copy and paste of one of those bots we’ve had in the game for years, reskinned into a hero. Sigh.

I hoped he would be something a bit different.

The bot does not have teamwide lifesteal or the ability to trap people in barrierwatch. Plus you can light people on fire and get critical hits by aiming for their little piggy if you catch my drift. That is a tank player’s wet dream. To actually land critical hits. And they can do it with their current aim skill. Isn’t that freaking awesome?

I dunno man, this is what I’ve wanted since that day. I personally believe we should’ve had playable enemy units in some mode or form long ago, so having this excites me a million times more.

I’m not a tank player, so i dont feel i should have an opinion as to him being good or bad… i just notice he seems like they took bastion and rein and mashed them together, took Zarya’s ult and changed it just a little bit, …and thats how Mauga was born

Dunno how long you’ve lurked around these parts, but folks have wanted literally this for years chief:

I always knew if Mauga would be a thing, he’d play just like those enemies.

I’m ngl I would love this.

He’s just big boned, you don’t need to call him an elephant.
