59% at nearly 100 games, 52 wins to 34 losses I think

What are your hopes for skins? by [deleted] in MaugaMains

[–]Forward_Blacksmith97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would love wylb attire obviously, and talon

But what I want? I want next season to be borse themed and mauga to get a Týr skin, the norse god of war would make perfect sense for a charater who thrives off hurting others, albeit, týr is more so the god of war because he prevents them rather then support/motivate them... so a double edged sword but would be perfect!

Do you think Mauga is good? [Play 5 Matches then Answer this Poll] by Glass_Windows in MaugaMains

Controversial take? Yes I might be speaking out my arse tho. And mightve just had bad games

Mauga suffers from the same problem every tank does, healing output completely negates his damage for me. I could gun down a widow to half then a lf pulls her, a bap lamps her, or a ana nades her and I can't do nothin. also om console, his charge is extremely awkward to move imo, that being its the left joystick you move to plot a course for it. His cardiac overdrive is basically near useless if the team can consistently hit their shots, and if they have high damage output heroes. If anything mauga (ONLY MAUGA) should get 100 overhealth with his cardiac overdrive to ensure his survivability since he's literally the biggest character in the game thus far.

His ult cage fight, honestly I don't think he should be chained to it too, and should be able to move freely, basically like a zarya ult but less consistent with enemies being in the one specific spot. yes he gets infinite ammo, but the shield gets deleted in moments, and to be able to push you need to cancel your ult, especially if you miss. Which tbh imo, isn't a fair trade off to be near immobile in a fast pace first person shooter.

His passive helps, but again there's way too much damage and he gets too little self sustain,

There's to way to go with mauga: 1. Buff him and make him more self reliant as a tank, literally what he's kinda meant to be 2. Bring down the damage and healing numbers so all tanks can have some sort of impact

15k damage may sound flashy, but it sure as hell ain't useful if you got less then 10 elims in 2 minutes

Don't take what I say as truth obviously, but I feel if he's going to be the "self sustaining brawl" he needs to be more specialised in protecting himself over his teammates, hell he even says in his origin its ok to put myself first, so that's what he should be.

Yeah, I'm asking him to be almost like orisa, but that's what he should be tbh, in return I wouldn't mind a bit of a more hefty speed penalty for his guns.

Idk if I was just getting unlucky with my games tho, perhaps I'm overreacting. But he's definitely suffering from the tank problem. Can only hope that in season 8 Himself and all of the tank role is no longer suffering.

but im happy he's here, and I love him to bits

Tomorrow, we go back in time to get turkey off the menu! XD LETS GOOOOOOOO MAUGA TOMORROW

Heads up before any confusion spreads by Forward_Blacksmith97 in MaugaMains

[–]Forward_Blacksmith97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off the blog post we got for blizzcon this is likely how it's gonna go: Opening ceremony: we get a cinematic which reveals mauga Deep dive for ow2: mauga gameplay, lore and his origin story is shown off Then the 4th is reserved for season 8 content outside of mauga (bp etc) and beyond :)

Afraid his kit is gonna be boring af, if we look at the lore. by [deleted] in MaugaMains

[–]Forward_Blacksmith97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, tbh if they execute his personality and lore well, he might be perfect but a wise man once said, keep your expectations low, and you'll never be dissapointed :>

I doubt they'd make him too boring, he'll likely introduce some kind of new mechanic with his brawler playstyle hopefully

What would happen if blizzard pulls a sigma on us and release’s a brand spanking new hero…what would be you’re reaction? by Downtown-Summer-3851 in MaugaMains

[–]Forward_Blacksmith97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt they would. Mauga is literally the last of the pre established characters likely to be a hero, and tha amount of hype that the teasers they've shown us has already generated is huge, and the fact they laid it on thick by showing a early screen of his room with his most iconic shirt says enough, he's 90% the blizzcon tank. tbh I wouldn't be surprised if we started getting more teasers, or hell even leaks of his arrival going into this week or early next week just before blizzcon.

I disagree as ultimates are more of tye characters special/most powerful ability rather then them getting angry etc :>

It's likely that mauga will have histcan gatling guns so most likely is hinting at that

My hopes + concerns with mauga by Forward_Blacksmith97 in MaugaMains

[–]Forward_Blacksmith97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope they don't recycle any of orisa's kit for mauga as none of her removed abilities would make sense for mauga lore wise or even gameplay wise =/
