the Bp’s have been sold, blizz has counted the cash, now Mauga gets the wrecking ball treatment for the rest of time
this team really likes letting a tank be good for one week then making them unplayable for seasons.
I wanted to actually main this guy too…
Waiting for the devs to do something about AntiNade.
if anti nade was nerfed new mauga would still be bad, he’s shredded even through lifesteal
He is a throw Pick now ( Thanks DPS and Hog Mains ) but im still going to main him because i have waited for this guy since 2019
Im going to one trick him in ranked and dont care if i get blamed blame the Devs not me that Tanks arent allowed to be good
good one hahaha… :((
He still wins 1v1 vs literally every hero with his insane sustain and damage
You lot crazy. He still busted and needs more nerfs. Cant even play the new mode without his cancerous gameplay smothering me every second
Just cus hes weak to ana doesnt mean he needs to be busted vs everyone else. Its fine for heroes to have counters. Maybe the devs will learn to stop designing bad heroes?
he already had counters before the nerf Long range Heroes like Soldier, Widow, Bastion counters him Sombra deletes him
Now he is extreme weak an get countered by Hog they overnerfed his damage and selfheal way to hard but Roadhog is still a one man army when u dont have a Ana
Ppl just dont like to pick counter against him and always try to fight him at close range and cry about it so hard he got overnerfed after a week
I was having fun with him still, his ranged poke is still pretty good.
Still, as much as I want to play JQ as much as possible, I think I’m just straight up done playing tanks period until Ana is removed from the game.
Yes, removed. She’s had the two (three if you count nano) most powerful, teamfight-winning match-swinging abilities in the game for too long. Tanks are just miserable to play because of her. Add Kiriko to the mix and JQ games can just be infuriating.
I’m just over it at this point.
Can we get a solid community answer on this. Do we want counterpicking or not?
Cus it seems like people just pull the counterswap argument out their butt a bit whenever they need it.
Half the time it feels like people want other people to counterswap but actively campaign for counterswapping to not exist if it effects them. Its very mixed messaging
Mauga was largely agreed to be fine in the test weekend except vs ana. But if counterswapping is fine why did he need to be buffed
This was how the game was designed to be played. Not maining 1 hero, players were supposed to swap to counter their opponent. Unfortunately players didn’t seem to like that design.
Umm … maybe because the Game is sadly designed about Counter Picking ? 
Do i like it ? no … Do i switch off my Hero when i get countered ? no but i dont want to see my Counters instant to be nerfed ( except Ana and Sombra because they are broken against all Tanks )
When u want to fight a Prenerf Mauga at close range as Symettra or Torb then do it but dont say the Hero is overtuned or to strong
Hooray!
I can play my dive tanks now!
So HOG NERFS WHEN NOW?!
The devs specifically said they kept Hog strong just to be able to compete with Mauga.
That time is over. Time to get in line.
I dont mind counterswapping but it needs to be a consistent philosophy
We shouldnt giga buff mauga just because ana counters him if counterswapping is part of the game experience
Just feels like people pick and choose when they think counterswapping is fine and it irks me a bit
People are crying about ana cus she shuts down hog and mauga. So those people must think hard counters and swapping is not ok then surely? But then those same people when met with criticism that mauga is op, say people that he is fine and he has counters, people just dont know how to counter him, like not swapping to ana
Like…. I cant. Its just a joke how 2 faced this community is. 2 faces and yet they see neither and are blind to everything.
How poetic
He was fine except his Survivbility i will never understand why they buffed his damage maybe that more ppl buy the Battle Pass because of him
Now his damage sadly got overnerfed u cant even kill a Hog if they bring his damage back from the playtest he would be perfectly fine now he is sadly a throw pick i dont see him anymore
I’m still sitting at a 68% win rate with him throughout 100 games. He’s balanced more than anything.
Not too overpowering, not too weak imo. I was struggling at first with his nerfs but adjusted pretty quickly. Went from a 3-9 game to 28-0. Games feel more 50/50 now. He needed the nerf, not even going to act like he didn’t.
Ana though? She needs biotic grenade scrapped. Ruins every track experience.
No the issue is exactly like what players like Flats, Emongg and Cyx have said. Even if Mauga had released into Comp unnerfed, it was highly unlikely he would have been good at the highest level regardless of how good he is vs other Tanks because he gets completely blown up by too much stuff. His abilities are too situational and he requires too much babysitting. Even if counterpicking didn’t exist, and you could never swap after picking, the really strong characters in this game (Ana, Soldier, Widow, Ashe, Zarya, Sigma) still reliably destroy him.
People don’t say “he has counters” because they like counterpicking. They say it because the counters he has counter him hard AF.
Because his survival and his damage are one in the same. Buffing or nerfing one also buffs or nerfs the other.
I’m more interested in the range play is he still able to deal with pharah etc
, poke ranged heroes?
‘https://youtu.be/sl45PoeMf5s?si=oFaaI_pn9S2JeBO5’ anti nade changes being discussed in AMA on reddit.
Yes! I can still set smaller targets on fire consistently too.
People cry so much it’s hilarious.
I’ve watched Cyx playing him post nerf yesterday and he still trashes every other Tank and has great midrange accuracy against small targets…
