I love to listen to Flats have to talk about Mauga because he'll just be talking normally and then go HA HA in the most out of pocket way ever and it just sends me every single time 😭
@diamonddacc9662 still better than what I always hear. I know in my mind Illari says something like "Can't heal you, I'm recharging," but imagine playing as tank and you just hear your healer behind you go "Can't help you, I'm ret*rded" right before dying 💀
Mauga buffs are always a nail biter, but this seemingly minor one they just did is pretty nice as it makes shooting every small target a lot less frustrating (if u alternate between chainguns). For as long as the damage values don't go up, Mauga is in a very decent spot.
@@WhodadmanI wish they would add an overheat mechanic sort of like Orisa for firing both guns at same time. Then they could balance his guns individually without making him just a better tank melter but still have the option for a short period of high damage from firing both. I know overheat isn't exactly creative and original since Orisa does have it already, but if it toned his "shoot the tank" playstyle and allowed his other playstyles to be buffed, would anyone really be upset about originality?
They can just: If they ever wanted to give Mauga more utility he could use a new ability called Bandolier on long cooldown that drops a few ammunition boxes around him. For him, each box would refill 50 ammo and for teammates it would resupply their whole clip. Teammates with full ammo or reloading couldnt pick it up. Another safeguard if it was too easy to pick up ammo on accident could be players with 80% or more ammo cant pick it up. It could enable a poke comp. You could change the strength of the ability based off of how many ammo boxes he drops, how long they persist, or the cooldown.
@@ForeverVibez, just enjoy him a lot. I know he's strong, but that's not exactly why I play manga. It's a lot more about the thrill for me and how Mauga embodies the chaos I love in Overwatch. I know it's not a very good reason to main one of the most hated characters in the game but it's my reason 🧡🧡
The longer duration of ignited enemies by Mauga was actually ny fav buff, because now I can just walk up to a group of enemies & actually synergise my shots for massive crits, *all whilst loudly singing Disco Inferno over my mic as I get a quad kill or 2.* 😂😅
I mean I still main Mauga and Sig and I don’t think these buffs are as overturned as people say. This buff really only helps him against dps and he’s still not as good as Orisa or Dva. Like I get people hate Mauga but I think he’s in a good spot right now of not being so overtuned or too weak. If anything Widow needs nerfs since they took away her only reliable counter in Sombra.
honestly if they would just fully commit to the fire idea it would make mauga significantly less frustrating, buff the fire by another second and increase it's damage to 20 per second (from 15) but then nerf his base weapon damage down to 3.5 (from 4), this would significantly reduce his in the face delete the tank play style while making the set on fire then hit crtis much better
I find it wild how much people are overreacting to the mauga buff. I understand that microbuffs add up, but they havent changed anything that actually matters yet. 1 extra second of lingering burn is nothing. He plays exactly the same and he's not any more lethal than he was before the patch. The overwatch community just likes making mountains out of molehills.
I think it’s more so because instead of blizzard addressing his bad character design, they’re just making him have less weaknesses. Tankbuster tank becoming better at killing squishies. How fun….
Mauga has the potential to be more respectable/honorable. I think they just need to make him more like soldier (aim intensive) and less like bastion (mindlessly melting tanks). His lifesteal needs to go, as anything that rewards raw damage numbers will always incentivize shooting tanks. Also, I’m not crazy about the CC immunity thing. Also does stomp really need to be 150dmg
@@RogerRoger897 They've already done that to pharah, road, rein, sombra, do you really think the balancing team isn't just throwing darts at the board for a quirky and unique balance patch?
@@VideoGamesRus100 also in roadhogs and pharaohs case I think it was a good change a slow ability and combining his alt shooting with primary was cool pharahs new movements help a lot I play pharah quite a bit it helps getting around shots you wouldn’t have been able to dodge but in rams case they just ripped his whole identity out hell half of his kit doesn’t work how they said it would tell me a time you actually pulled a flying character out the sky with vortex
He just dislikes Mauga but he is honestly fun you don't gotta feel bad about it he's an okay ish tank rn and these were just two pretty easy games cuz they just played Doom so it was free value
Oh good, i just thought "yanno who really needs a buff more than any other hero right now? Mauga" and here we are... maybe i can control the future Yanno what i really need now? A hug... now i must simply wait
Well despite what people say there is actually a difference between a bronze Mauga and a Mauga in GM The aim the decision making the CD management is very different
mauga needed the buff cuse no one was playing him. makes sense kinda tho ramattra an sombra are so easy to kill i feel bad. flats hate it. yup still don't feel fun without your tank friend with you. but tanks just grin and bare it tho the tear runs down the cheek.sombra needs invisible to last longer thin 5 sec it should last as long the relocator cooldown.

People are blowing this SO FAR OUT OF PROPORTION. The extra second is to make up for the health changes. I'm a Mauga OTP, and I will tell you he's the exact same as last season, with slightly better damage on ignite, the way they intended for lighting squishies. He's fine. Also, Dva still exsists.
Exactly, this is what I’m saying! He’s not op at all right now. Dva and Orisa are still much better picks and I’m seeing a lot of Rein this season so maybe he’s good too. Personally I love Mauga (hot take)
@@FiestaTX17 Same, love him too, have One Tricked him for tank since release, so I have some perspective on the character. There's tons of small little techs you can do to make the character more fun, he's meant to be played a little more risky than the other tanks. Figure out what he CAN and CAN'T do, and he's a blast
Flats overreacting about this stuff again. I get nobody wants a Mauga meta again, but the buff is entirely about shooting squishes, maybe they could have given him a compensation nerf somewhere else to make it more clear.
@@sebastianrodriguez8992 I get that, but if they want to push him more in a certain direction, they can't just outright buff him every time because that will just break him, they need to take power from one area and move it somewhere else.
@@bigfudge2031 which is true but he just got one buff and he's still mid he's nowhere near strong enough rn to need a nerf as compensation if he gets too strong after other buffs then of course nerf him rightfully but until then he still needs help
95% of the time I play Quickplay, and when I play Ranked my personal best was Diamond 3 (Tank) so idk how much my opinion counts, but I just find Mauga pretty fun to play? With and against him, its simple and direct and straight up fun to go BRRRRRRR and melt stuff If DPS players can have Junkrat and Support players can have Moira, why can't Tank players have a braindead Hero that's just fun? I personally think Wrecking Ball and Doomfist are much more annoying to play against
Why is it cool to shit on mauga?? It’s such a fun character to play, granted it’s a pain to play against but it’s not broken to the extent that it’s unbeatable
seriously, why are blizzard so desperate to punish tank players every 5 minutes, only to complain that nobody is playing tank? imagine wanting to play any tank other than mauga or orisa and just getting bullied by their entire team
There’s only one way I’ll never listen to someone’s opinion about anything ever again and that’s if they say mauga is fun/good. Him and lifeweaver having a who’s more boring and useless unless way overturned club
ngl, I would love it if they added creator voicelines for particular heroes and if Mauga got Flats's "aaaaAAAA"
now that's a microtransaction I would actually be willing to pay for lol
It would be great to do for the next April Fools event.
Oh please give lucio froggers "what the hell" 😣🫶

She can lock my satellite vector if you know what I mean
Buffing Mauga and nerfing Reinhardts shield is wild to me 💀💀💀
Why? Rein was and still is a bit overpowered, and Mauga's Cardiac changes really made him weaker and more situational.
@@Tee_B it's just my personal view, Im only Gold for tank so maybe it was a good thing they changed
Both needed nerfs. No one enjoys shooting barriers, and no one enjoys an unkillable tank that does more DPS than a DPS.

Very fun to play. If they could better motivate him to not focus tank, he could easily be on the same level as JQ in terms of hero design.
Ur not alone
I find him to be fun to play
And he’s funny to play against

Life of a Doom main
Never feel sorry for someone who doesn't have the awareness to change when they are clearly not being effective on a hero.
@@TheAILancet they are playing quickplay, is not about swapping to win, is about having FUN with the hero that you select to play that match
@@void.guedes or, you know, when you wanna learn a new hero or sth like that
Can't wait for the next buff where they give him back his infinite ammo during his ult
It wouldn't really matter except for after the cage fights over but it wouldn't actually change his effectiveness vs anybody or any matchup

BOTH HEARTS PUMPING!!!
So this is how he practices his “HA HAAAAAAAA”
at 9:59 when you curbstomp the Ana into the ground she just says "No!" before she perishes
And so continues the arc of "counterpick in QP is cringe" then proceeds to counterpick.
It may be cringe but so is losing
But he's picking Mauga and staying Mauga from the very start of the game. He didn't even know what Heroes the other team had.
Pretty sure counter swapping isn’t the same thing as picking a hero from the start and staying on them… mauga at all in qp is what’s cringe
U didn’t get it lol
As a mauga main.
I apologize for the buffs and the chaos that follows
main? why?
@@ForeverVibez, just enjoy him a lot. I know he's strong, but that's not exactly why I play manga.

Good thing, too. Mauga was in a rough spot!

Congratulations on the gradual sustauned weight loss. Serious respect on that.

YOU WANNA ARM WRESTLE?!
streamer mode, mauga, sombra and reaper with a 4 stack is crazy. especially in quick play
Samoan Thor looking good after the buffs
thus the seethening begun
Atleats if you have the Cowboy Bebop Mauga skin you can hear a funny little jazz note every once in a while, while also hating your life
Was a good buff. Makes it more enticing to target squishies. But hes still not the best. Just play Ana and Orisa and he's kinda shutdown
Anybody else experiencing when you minimize, or lock your screen and come back on a mobile device but all you hear is I think Emoggs scream each time🤣
Love me some "HA! HA!" guy gameplay!
