So I switched to using tank today

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.

One enemy ana worth their nade and mauga is down for the count.

Yeah that is actually true, I go Ana to shut him down but my placement matches are in gold 5 atm and keep facing Moira and Lucio.

If your good with Mauga who should be my other pick, Junker Queen maybe?

Because losing on other heroes is more fun than winning with Mauga. Have some self respect.

I find that the typical choices against mauga are tanks that deny his shots so he can’t heal.

So Ramatra is a good option as an alternative to mauga because his punches pierce most defenses used against mauga.

I thought he would be good but it’s really confusing, same with DVA the ball thing and doomfist.

Mauga is easy to counter. But you have to hit a rank where people have the game sense to do so.

Also he is doing chip damage at range, and is kind of only effective when he gets into melee range to double barrel things.


also didn’t mean to sound rude if I did, he is still a great hero and I hope you have fun in your next match!

So if your not allready you would want to use these to attack the smaller heroes, and use their mobility to leave fights that might go bad for you.

Heal up get a cooldown or so back, then push again!

Sounds l like anti is just too strong and health tanks should be toned downed with antinade XD

Can work, revolves around waiting out his overdrive. Her ult negates him pretty hard too.

Its not just anti

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.

So yeah, 4-0 then got destroyed by doomfist lol

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

Yeah my thinking is go with the opposite, low health short range small hitbox kind of thing.

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.

As a former shotgunner in modern warfare 1 back in the day I could totally take on the full team with a Mercy behind me :smile:

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.

Gotta read the full context dude.

Plow through that feeling and once you adapt you’ll find you’re having so much fun. Stick with it! :muscle:
