THIS POST INCLUDES MAUGA FIXES AND GAME IDEAS
Change mauga:
His kit makes no sense. He is completely overpowered and a hastily put together character. If you want him to do fire damage great, you already have a good basis.
-
Take away both miniguns. I get it, two miniguns that’s so cool and powerful, but his animations make me feel like I’m playing ball but destroying opponents. Give him just one big minigun, reduce the damage, and up the spread by a lot. Miniguns are supposed to be low damage, high fire, and lots of spread. And keep the ability to do criticals when an enemy is on fire.
-
Remove his awful healing ability. It was a good idea but from how tanky he is it is just really bad. Replace it with a grenade he pulls out and turns into a fireball. It won’t to much impact damage but will have a fire effect on the ground that lingers so it works well with his now one minigun. and whenever they leave the fire kiriko can suzu it and not the lingering fire to make a soft counter.
-
Remove his overhealth. This was a bad option because it just makes him way too tanky. Even more than before. You should give him a narrow shield that covers himself that he can use on a cooldown for about 300-600 health (up to change) but when it breaks enemies around him get set on fire for a short 3 seconds. this would let him have the tankiness he should have but with out the constant overhealth he would normally have.
-
his ultimate is very creative, but doesnt make much sense. Where does he even get it from?? you should make his ultimate so he take a handfull of those fire grenades and throws them down (if you have ever played apex it could look like gibby’s ult) where he throws them down and it rains into a small area. setting multiple people on fire, or an area denial ult like ball.
-
Another ult idea would be for him to stomp the ground and open it up like a fire earthshatter, or he could make a volcano somehow like lifeweavers ult but instead of healing it hurts enemies.
The point is, he is a good fire based tank and changing his kit so it work more selfishly but DOESNT HEAL AT ALL would be amazing. Going all in on the fire idea would be sick, especially for the highlight intros and emotes.
But please Blizzard, stop turning this into a cash grab. This is an amazing game, and we are tired on getting handed half-assed content with microtransactions. Thats the reason Baldurs Gate was so good. Trust me, involve the community more PLEASE. WE DONT WANT MORE MICROTRANSACTIONS!!! the battle pass is amazing, and it has good things to it, but a 20$ skin for someone that could be taken each game??? we dont want that. Mauga is a great character but he feels so hastily put together. You dont have to change his kit completely, his charge is great!!! it should be able to be stopped by some things like riens charge but its a great start.
Another thing, revert all of the patch notes, it was a good step and you had the right idea but the game feels so… off now. Personally, it feels more like a spam-fest rather than skill and placement. Every team comp now is the same, but could be fixed my changing some things. He works too well with ashe and should have his own fire type that could distinguish his from hers and torb’s.
But PLEASE REMOVE HIS HEALING!!! his two hearts for his backstory is cool but its just weird and overpowered. Also give him some armour or something he is strangely so wide and whould be slimmed down just a little. Give him one minigun and make him walk with POWER. He looks like he has to poop its very strange. Give him some more power in his recoil on his minigun, make it feel powerful to play him. When i play him i feel like im throwing papermache thumbtacks at them, but they’re dying so fast from all of his abilities. make him have to resource manage and earn those free crits on burning enemies. And make it less like ball’s miniguns, trust me we do not need a hitscan minigun it isnt fun for anyone.
I know it was a long speech but i really want to believe in you guys, you put out an amazing game, dont throw it all away for money. If you have a good game people would WANT to spend more money on it. Okay thank you.
