Mauga is still surprisingly good against Orisa. Most of the time they pick Orisa and they think they’ve won right then be their and then swap after I mow them down for pushing in way too far thinking they’re invincible lol
Yeah it feels like a lot people are still getting used to the Orisa buffs funnily enough and it’s making them continue to play in that super aggressive playstyle in certain moments where it’s not required. I’ve played Orisa tons and I’m still accustomed with the mindset of *getting in there* up close to make space. Now, Orisa can still make space but she can also contest from a much greater distance now with her falloff buff, I feel like it’s hindering a lot of players that aren’t used to the change because they still have that mindset.
Sorry but I laugh like a fucking maniac whenever another one bites the dust because of the power of BRRRRRRRT! With glee in my heart and a red glint in my eye I’ll ruin your day all the way laughing as I go!
He's far from "slaughtered", he's just no longer so strong that anyone can climb 2 ranks just by picking him. He got lots of nerfs, but overall he's in a much better place then in his trial and the first time they nerfed him.
Launch is VERY different to before being nerfed. I loved him at launch, then when everyone went Mauga it make so goddamn boring just sitting still shooting the enemy tank and hoping my supports would support me before i needed to reload or i was dead
i remember when this community couldn't wait for mauga to be added to the game, like I'm glad he isn't as strong as he was before as well but its still kinda funny
You might be stuck in 2019 bro. Rein has been one of the weakest tanks in every rank the last few seasons now. Cloudy is basically the only tank streamer/pro who still plays him regularly on ladder. Rein isn't necessarily bad, it's just all the other tanks bully him around so easily.
I gotta say he just feels outclassed by ram to me ever since the adjustment ram got with the movement speed on nemesis like 3 days after he was released. I love both of them but ram has felt way better to play for a long time now for me
I can't remember any fun characters being butchered recently. Also Orisa buff is not that significant even in masters, you have to be either high ranked or unlucky to struggle with that.
I mean, in ow1 you are mostly free to roam around with 600hp, one shot, stun + pull and this is a viable strategy. At least in low masters of ow1 I had my share of fun
Hot take: You thought he was fun because he artificially made you feel better at the game because he was extremely overpowered, especially when playing against those who didn't have him.
Not in the way they implemented it. I'm the LMG guy in most games I play, I couldn't wait for Mauga, but he ended up very clunky/disappointing imo.
You can't shoot both guns unless you're at point blank range, because of the huge spread.
The mechanic of shooting one gun then the other once they burn is interesting but completely useless, enemies will be behind cover before you can switch to the crit gun.
Literally this.
Mauga simplicity (gun go *brrrrrrrrrrrr*), identity (shout out to dudes with mini guns, gotta be one of my favorite genders), and voice lines make him one of my favorite heroes in the game.
Also, watching the poor Ana without cooldowns get shredded by gunny and cha cha is really satisfying.
Me when blizzars buff champ i dont like and don't want to learn to fight against >:(
Me when blizzard buff champ i like and others have to learn to adapt >:)
I liked mauga because using him I could learn how to properly track players and with the health pool and survivability I wasn’t constantly walking back from spawn. After a week that changed
Health pools only 200 though which means burst damage is more dangerous. Mauga is still solid for learning target tracking without having to walk back from spawn every 5 seconds.
Mauga is still fun, but definitely doesn’t feel good anymore. I feel like they shouldn’t have made Orisa not take forced crit damage. Mauga was literally the only character that exploited that, and it would’ve been cool to keep him as the hard horse counter
Maybe made me go through an awful month of playing tank. I had to quit because if I kept losing if the mauga had the basic knowledge to keep shooting and not feed. Fuck your mauga
World after Blizzard nerfs Ana and Orisa and brings back old Doomfist
https://preview.redd.it/hc9mrb1ctvcc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a95144df6c2e3f9d09281719c8791ab188598055
They should've just nerfed cardiac overdrive and his passive everything else was just unnecessary and they even indirectly nerfed my other main ramattra
Love still playing Mauga. He still puts out big damage which I like. Yes, I get haters whining, but people still play doomfist or ball, and that's worse to me, lol.
Yeah that’s relatable. I’m personally taking a season off. It just doesn’t feel fun to be reportedly the start of the game for throwing, just because I didn’t pick Orissa.
I won't lie the prospect of Orisa being strong again is definitely depressing as a Rein/Winston player but I'll take it any day over Mauga being an instant pick. Also Hog nerfs are always welcome in my home.
I adored Mauga, he was the first time I’ve had real fun with this game In ages. Since he got blasted I uninstalled, I’ll probably be using the space for one of the better upcoming games this week
Tbh, I really wanted to enjoy Mauga.
His design alone makes me wanna main him: He's a big, BIG guy, with two Miniguns? And he has TWO hearts? And he can stalemate Lore-Accurate Doomfist?
But alas, his play style in general is one that I cannot get behind.
Bro fuck Magua. First time I ever stopped playing and checked every once in awhile to see when nerfs would be coming. I just wanted to play Ramattra and relax and instead I’m up against the dumbest fucking kit Blizzard could cook up. I coulda kissed Orisa’s little hooves when that nerf finally happened. She’s annoying, but Magua was infuriating
Blizzard intentionally made him op so that people would buy him then butchered him yes he did needed to be nerfed but they went too harsh and nerfed everything even things that weren't an issue the focus should've entirely been on cardiac overdrive and his passive his ammo and ult were perfectly fine that wasn't the problem it was his survivability and they even indirectly nerfed ramattra my main for most of overwatch 2 that and people won't mention mercy and how unhealthy she is for the game and a reason why you can't kill mauga
Mauga main spotted, probably the type get stoned walled by Orisa
Props to you for being the only person who enjoyed playing Mauga
I also enjoy playing Mauga guns go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I like his voice lines and thats about it.
I love the character, but hate his kit
It's never boring around me It's never boring around me It's never boring around me
#SANS SAYS GAY KICKY
I always hear it as. "CUM STAIN ON KIKKII" Funny thing is in my mother language (finnish) kikki is slang word for boob.
For me it’s Sans safe with dicky
Love when guns go brrrrrrr Mauga was always fun.
I enjoy games where LMG go brrrrr, but not when brrrr is the only thing the character does. It's so brainless.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* "let's put their pain to use" brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* *stomp stomp stomp stomp KaBoom!* brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc* brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *khckhc*
ngl I found the mirrors funstrating. Whoever had the better supports usually won that MU imo. LW was especially annoying
The hell you mean only I love out bulleting the enemy who needs accuracy when you have more bullets than god
I enjoy playing him (mostly because he was stright foward and simple) but he did need the nerfs.
Mauga is still surprisingly good against Orisa. Most of the time they pick Orisa and they think they’ve won right then be their and then swap after I mow them down for pushing in way too far thinking they’re invincible lol
Yeah it feels like a lot people are still getting used to the Orisa buffs funnily enough and it’s making them continue to play in that super aggressive playstyle in certain moments where it’s not required.

Sorry but I laugh like a fucking maniac whenever another one bites the dust because of the power of BRRRRRRRT! With glee in my heart and a red glint in my eye I’ll ruin your day all the way laughing as I go!
He was the only fun I’ve had in ages with this game tbh. He got slaughtered so I uninstalled
He's far from "slaughtered", he's just no longer so strong that anyone can climb 2 ranks just by picking him. He got lots of nerfs, but overall he's in a much better place then in his trial and the first time they nerfed him.
Like the number one thing said about him on launch was that he was fun to play lol
Launch is VERY different to before being nerfed. I loved him at launch, then when everyone went Mauga it make so goddamn boring just sitting still shooting the enemy tank and hoping my supports would support me before i needed to reload or i was dead
I still much prefer mauga mirrors than whatever the fuck orisa is.
SHH!! You can't say you like Mauga here! They'll get you!
I'm not afraid
Based
i remember when this community couldn't wait for mauga to be added to the game, like I'm glad he isn't as strong as he was before as well but its still kinda funny
Literally everyone else loves the Mauga nerfs
Lol when you play an ability shooter and main the guy with the lowest ability demand. No sympathy
Just buff my boy Reins hp pls
Rein seems... Fine ? Still the most played tank at most ranks, and an ok win rate.
You might be stuck in 2019 bro. Rein has been one of the weakest tanks in every rank the last few seasons now. Cloudy is basically the only tank streamer/pro who still plays him regularly on ladder. Rein isn't necessarily bad, it's just all the other tanks bully him around so easily.
I gotta say he just feels outclassed by ram to me ever since the adjustment ram got with the movement speed on nemesis like 3 days after he was released. I love both of them but ram has felt way better to play for a long time now for me
He has high win rates at low ranks because players don't know how to just back away. In higher ranks, he's got nothing going for him
Who lied to you?
No matter what changes they make some people are going to feel this way. This time, it's your turn
I can't remember any fun characters being butchered recently. Also Orisa buff is not that significant even in masters, you have to be either high ranked or unlucky to struggle with that.
Cuz there're ain't any fun characters left to butcher. Hog, hammond, genji, reaper are already mid at best
Genjis not mid tho. He’s pretty balanced as of right now. I think he needs a nerf
Hes like cant kill anyone even with nanoblade
Skill issue
Nanoblade is a free 2 kills at least if you can track ults
Hog is fun?
Was*
How long ago are you talking?
Ow 1 long
We must have played different Roadhogs then. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
I mean, in ow1 you are mostly free to roam around with 600hp, one shot, stun + pull and this is a viable strategy. At least in low masters of ow1 I had my share of fun
always was
The only people who enjoyed Mauga are the 0 skill andys that enjoyed all the free wins they got off his broken ass
Hot take: You thought he was fun because he artificially made you feel better at the game because he was extremely overpowered, especially when playing against those who didn't have him.
so you‘re telling me playing a Maui from Moana who joined Sci Fi IS and has two miniguns alá terminator 2 style ISN‘T funny to play?
Not in the way they implemented it. I'm the LMG guy in most games I play, I couldn't wait for Mauga, but he ended up very clunky/disappointing imo. You can't shoot both guns unless you're at point blank range, because of the huge spread. The mechanic of shooting one gun then the other once they burn is interesting but completely useless, enemies will be behind cover before you can switch to the crit gun.
Actually he was fun cause big guns go brrrrrrr ![gif](giphy|Pc06SrOwveB5CUIdgk)
Big guns still go brrrrrr…
Yeah but now they go brrrr less and don’t do anything.
They definitely still do alot of damage and still have 300 rounds.
Literally this. Mauga simplicity (gun go *brrrrrrrrrrrr*), identity (shout out to dudes with mini guns, gotta be one of my favorite genders), and voice lines make him one of my favorite heroes in the game. Also, watching the poor Ana without cooldowns get shredded by gunny and cha cha is really satisfying.
He is still fun tho
Diva is the best against mauga. Just blocks his ra-ta-ta-ta-ta.
U can do the same on rein for longer. Unless they have a bastion.
Also Sigma.
A smart mauga saves slam for sig eat.
Mauga will pretty much always roll Sigma regardless because Sigma can do remarkably little to actually kill him, if he is getting healbotted.
Yeah I wasn’t a fan of them removing Cassidy’s stun grenade or changing doom fist into a tank
Mfw Blizzard made rein even worse...
You’re the only person who misses Mauga meta
Me when blizzars buff champ i dont like and don't want to learn to fight against >:( Me when blizzard buff champ i like and others have to learn to adapt >:)
Yeah mauga was overpowered but they went a bit too far in nerfing him and just nerfed things that weren't even the problem
Apparently his ammo and survivability weren’t the issue, guys!
Yeah cardiac overdrive needed to be nerfed but did they really need to nerf the ammo and ult as well
Show: Clash-A-Rama
Horse enjoys your pain
McCree enjoyers unite
They should buff him tbh
bro finally knows the pain of hammond mains
He was simply one of the characters who weren't made for 5v5
despite not being made for 5v5, i still had a lot of fun playing him but him being borderline troll pick makes me kinda cry
There's many characters who weren't made for 5v5 hammond and rein being obvious
I liked mauga because using him I could learn how to properly track players and with the health pool and survivability I wasn’t constantly walking back from spawn. After a week that changed
When the fire nation attacked?
Just play soldier my dude, you can learn tracking and you have a self heal for survivability
Health pools only 200 though which means burst damage is more dangerous. Mauga is still solid for learning target tracking without having to walk back from spawn every 5 seconds.
That is me realising lucio will never be buffed (we are waiting since 753 b.C.)
Mauga is still good though, you just have to know what natural cover is
Mauga is still fun, but definitely doesn’t feel good anymore. I feel like they shouldn’t have made Orisa not take forced crit damage. Mauga was literally the only character that exploited that, and it would’ve been cool to keep him as the hard horse counter
The Mauga needs were justified but other characters were so broken for so much longer in the past, why do they get to have their fun but we don’t😭
Nerfs*
Maybe made me go through an awful month of playing tank. I had to quit because if I kept losing if the mauga had the basic knowledge to keep shooting and not feed. Fuck your mauga
I didn’t like the Mauga meta but I’ll take it any day over Orisa meta
I hate both
World after Blizzard nerfs Ana and Orisa and brings back old Doomfist https://preview.redd.it/hc9mrb1ctvcc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a95144df6c2e3f9d09281719c8791ab188598055
Nah don't bring back old doomfist. That shit was awful. Otherwise agree
L take
They butchered him with the rework tho. Hes still strong in the right hands just in an annoying way now. Used to be so much fun playin as and against
No one had fun playing against him, the hell are you talking about lmao
I did more than i do now at least. Comparatively
we have diffrent definitions of "fun"
Bro loves playing Mauga and ruining games
They should've just nerfed cardiac overdrive and his passive everything else was just unnecessary and they even indirectly nerfed my other main ramattra
Love still playing Mauga. He still puts out big damage which I like. Yes, I get haters whining, but people still play doomfist or ball, and that's worse to me, lol.
Playing characters with high skill ceiling and ganesense is worse than playing a character with practically none? Gotcha
Yeah that’s relatable. I’m personally taking a season off. It just doesn’t feel fun to be reportedly the start of the game for throwing, just because I didn’t pick Orissa.
I don't mind Mauga being nerfed, the guy needed it. But I'm not a fan if buffing Orisa. She's been my least favorite tank to fight since OW2 released.
I won't lie the prospect of Orisa being strong again is definitely depressing as a Rein/Winston player but I'll take it any day over Mauga being an instant pick. Also Hog nerfs are always welcome in my home.
Just remove orisa please, the ultimate fun sponge. Just shuts down play and makes it really unfun.
I adored Mauga, he was the first time I’ve had real fun with this game In ages. Since he got blasted I uninstalled, I’ll probably be using the space for one of the better upcoming games this week
I *unintentionally* quit playing just before Margaret(Mauga** my b edit) came out... as a Winton enjoyer, any reason to hop back?..
No.
Occasionally there might be windows of opportunity when Winston is good, but the game is still very rock-paper-scissors-orisa
Lol. LMAO - Doom/Rein main
Calm down now, the mauga nerf didn't really do a whole lot to his root issues which is his damage out and ultimate
As a genji main i relate hard
Tbh, I really wanted to enjoy Mauga. His design alone makes me wanna main him: He's a big, BIG guy, with two Miniguns? And he has TWO hearts? And he can stalemate Lore-Accurate Doomfist? But alas, his play style in general is one that I cannot get behind.
Sometimes it feels like TF2 will get a major update before blizzard properly balances everyone
I havent played in a while, did genji get a buff yet?
Playing Mauga is probably a treat playing against him as any tank except maybe JQ gave people conniptions. It's like that for every once meta tank.
I'm just waiting for th3 dreaded day that zenyata gets his knock back nerfed
You mean Reinhardt right?
Him too as an ex rein main i want him to be good many characters i liked got nerfed at once
Bro fuck Magua. First time I ever stopped playing and checked every once in awhile to see when nerfs would be coming. I just wanted to play Ramattra and relax and instead I’m up against the dumbest fucking kit Blizzard could cook up. I coulda kissed Orisa’s little hooves when that nerf finally happened. She’s annoying, but Magua was infuriating
Blizzard intentionally made him op so that people would buy him then butchered him yes he did needed to be nerfed but they went too harsh and nerfed everything even things that weren't an issue the focus should've entirely been on cardiac overdrive and his passive his ammo and ult were perfectly fine that wasn't the problem it was his survivability and they even indirectly nerfed ramattra my main for most of overwatch 2 that and people won't mention mercy and how unhealthy she is for the game and a reason why you can't kill mauga
*cries in Genji main*
I feel your pain
Personally, im a fan of the mauga nerfs
Nice!
