Mauga the worst designed hero and makes the game unplayable

Mauga has to be the most unbalanced hero they ever made.

He consistently out damages all dps in matches, he barely dies and when you dont have a Mauga on your team its over.

How can he tank a fully charged Widow headshot without his healthbar even moving?? He can fully tank a D.va Ult and win a 1v3 against 2 dps and 1 support.

His kit is completely op with no drawbacks. Just look at a Rein he cant do much at range but has a charge to get close to enemies, or Orisa she has good range but not much mobility and cant fire forever, or D.va good dmg up close but none at range and then Mauga who has insane range, basically unlimited ammo, a charge and insane dmg, who designed this a 5 year old? And i dont even start with his awfully designed, infuriating ult.

A good hero needs things they are good at and things they are bad at.

Unless he gets a giant nerf to basically all parts of his kit this game remains unplayable. This is the worst hero they made by far. I dont like Doom or Hog but they are a dream to play against compared to Mauga. I take a gigabuffed Hog anytime over the current Mauga

But currently the game is pay to win and absolutely unplayable and unfun if you play 90% of the other heroes. Dont even think about playing heroes like Brig or Widow rn and Ana is a complete 100% must pick

The DoT from burning also is irritating.

If you manage to scape from his engagement with low health, you end up dying anyways cause you were burning…

All it takes is a decent Ana and he will have a bad time. If there’s no Ana he’s a problem.

They HAVE to nerf Nade and stop balancing everything around it.

Nah Tankfist was the worst design ever, they wanted to delete a character but they didnt have the guts to remove him so they destroyed him compeltly with his rework

Doesn’t work, there is too much ways to keep your tank alive

What a great design, you need 1 broken hero to kill the other even more op hero. This shouldnt even be an argument, you cant have 1 hero in a game with so many heroes that is needed to win against another hero.

Ana is a complete must pick in 100% of matches even if you dont play against mauga. Maybe they should remove anti and give her the invulnerability from Kirikos suzu and have suzu mainly be a burst heal item

At least i dont wanna alt f4 the instant i see him

Insane range, I can’t agree, he is decent in medium range and awfull in long range, but yes, it’s pretty dumb. Only Ramattra seems to me more Op than he is, and it’s not a good thing. The DoT is insane, the damage bonus he does on fired ennemy too. We took about Ana in the ennemy team, but what about Ashe in HIS team ? If she Dynamite 3 people, Mauga can just used his secondary gaitling on them. His dmg gonna be buffed cause they are on fire. Funny right ?

And yes, the problem still the same : powercreeping of the actual game. That’s gonna kill Overwatch if they continue like that. 10€ for the new Hero or spamming for weeks to obtain them if you want them for free. They’re mostly to strong (Vital is the exception) like Sojourn, Kiriko, Illari, Ram are dominant in the meta since their release. I don’t know why people seems to like it, but not me : game aren’t balanced with “chained” buff on Hero. And it’s still a game, casual player need to find FUN when they start a Queue in normal. It’s not fun against Mauga. (Sorry for my bad English, not native)

BRIG/dps doom/sombra/lifeweaver/illari are my top 5 heroes i have hated the most at launch.

Where’s your supports and why aren’t they healing?
