Mauga is supremely underrated as it is. His burns are quite good.

Lmao of course it matters.
Mauga is a very straightforward character that not only responds to stuff in very simple ways but also forces the opponents to respond to him in very simple ways. Having a character like mauga running around having the same impact on matches as character with a more interactive kit makes for an objectively more boring game.
In my eyes, letting mauga be bad and easily counterable is way better than letting mauga stat check his way into relevancy. Of course a rework that makes him actually interesting is ideal but I wouldn’t go putting a boring character into people’s games by buffing him for the sake of “viability”

Can someone link me patch notes?
Mauga is a complete and utter failure of a tank design.
Maugas core gameplay loop is: “Look at enemy tank, hold M1+M2, hope my supports dump more healing into me than enemy tank”
And that is it.
Literally one of the worst mechanical / gameplay designs they have had- And considering the nonsense these developers have pumped out, thats an impressive feat in itself.
Mauga needs a mild overhaul to change it so hes incentivized to shoot targets other than the tank.
My argument is to have cha cha set targets on fire immediately once theyve dropped below 200 hp, and only when they drop below that threshold (or possibly a % of max life). Now mauga has a reason to shoot at standard health targets, as he could get them to ignitable levels much faster than a tank. He can still shoot at and lay into an enemy tank like the wannabe A-10 warthog he is of course, but hell lose out on a lot of sustain until he gets them below that threshold.
Ill also add that i wouldnt propose something like this without an understanding that his other “numbers” would need to be changed (whether thats damage, how much shields he builds, whatever)- but he needs something to encourage him to do more than “hahaha enemy tank m1+m2 gun go BBRRRRRRR”

This is why tank synergies were so nice ~
Blizz launches 5 healer supports in a row, massively powercreeps sustainability cooldowns and somehow concluded that having two tanks is what’s making it unplayable. I say fix your game and give us 6v6 back.

Yeah there’s no good “middle ground” in balancing Mauga. Worst designed hero in the games history and needs a rework, not a buff

I’m ngl ever since I saw the Cowboy Bebop collab trailer with him in it, i’ve set aside my beef with him temporarily
Honestly, I do pretty well in my games with him, but it is a little basic. That extra overhealth will be a pretty big deal and giving your team the buff more often could make a big difference in long team fights.
Blaming supports for the loss of 6v6 is just as silly as blaming tanks.
Why does Mauga even need a rework? Nothing shows that he would need it…
I think people are saying he’s simple and maybe a little boring.
I don’t have any issues with him tho but I also don’t play tank
He JUST came out 3 months ago. And he’s the troll pick of S9.
There are lower skill heroes that are doing just fine right now. Giving him a small buff isn’t going to break anything, he’s still going to be a troll pick if your positioning is below Diamond level.
Why rework him, when they’re literally still figuring out how to balance him in the first place? It would likely cause more issues since they have no idea what would work, or what even works now.
Thank you!
