Three placement matches with Mauga and three wins, did try Ramatra but like shooting people and starting to wonder why people would pick anyone else but Mauga you got range you got heals you got dot you got escape you got damage and you got like 800hp, insane!
Must admit though, absolutely zero down time on tank you got to go constantly and not sure I’m cut out for that coming from support.
Basically any tool that denies his damage for up to three seconds can kill his sustain.
So a lot of barriers / dm / grasp / deflect / nade / mei wall or ult / palutena down special / mobilty that lets you break LOS / ice block / reaper wraith / or just any tool to let you out live the Mauga.
Rammatra is countered hard by mauga his shield is far too temporary to deny him plus nemesis form makes you massive and he will heal off of you to his hearts content
Dva and sigma are far better choices against a mauga
Queen is awesome and is one of the only tanks that doesn’t have hard counters, she is considerably harder to play than mauga though and low ranks don’t know how to play with a queen
She doesn’t need any when she absolutely has to outplay the other entire enemy team to survive, plus Ana and Kiri are bane of her existence.
I hate when I am having a good game and I see this happen: Tank swaps to Zarya, DPS swap to Mei and Reaper, and supports instantly swap to Ana and Kiri. It’s like “You’re not allowed to have fun.”
And if you’re going to play JQ into Mauga, better learn her combos.
Honestly, I much prefer a Zen or Brig when I am brawling. Ana helps tons, and Kiri can also help with removing anti/sleep, but you want people who can keep healing on you while doing their own thing still to help.
Hell, if you’re landing your bleeds, and keeping the self healing up, you can almost become immortal.
The numbers are like…
100 health over 3 seconds per carnage hit on each enemy. (You can be healing 500 over 3 seconds, if you land an entire team carnage)
225 over 3 seconds per rampage target hit. Max is 1125 hp over 3 seconds, add in a Zen orb, Brig inspire, or an Ana nade, and just imagine what you can do.
I wasn’t saying ramatra was a good choice AGAINST mauga. I was saying he is a good tank to have in your pocket if as mauga you get countered and need to swap.
