Overwatch 2 players slam Mauga as \u201cboring\u201d to play against BlizzardOverwatch 2\u2019s Mauga is coming under criticism from players who say that his kit is a little one-dimensional and even \u201cboring\u201d to play against. Overwatch 2\u2019s tank roster grew in Season 8 with the release of Mauga. The Samoan did have a weekend for players to get to grips with during BlizzCon, but at that time he was quite weak. However, with his full introduction to the game, he saw some enormous buffs, making him much more viable. Some might even say too powerful. While debates rage as to whether Mauga is overpowered or not, it\u2019s clear he\u2019s shaken the game up. This is not a Lifeweaver situation where he\u2019s arrived in a weak state. If you don\u2019t respect Mauga, he can run you over with his enormous damage potential at short range. It\u2019s clear he has a viable place on the roster, but is he any fun to play against? Some fans aren\u2019t so sure, even going so far as to call him boring. Is Mauga too one-dimensional? In a Reddit thread that has garnered 1.8k upvotes at the time of writing, user Falcrus wrote a sarcastic title, saying \u201cMauga is a peak Overwatch gameplay. So fun to play against him, will definitely try more!\u201d. In the post, they shared a video of a Ramattra facing off against Mauga inside Mauga\u2019s Cage Fight ultimate. It\u2019s a fairly uneventful fight with Ramattra standing there, forced to take the Samoan\u2019s frontal assault until he whittles away and dies. It highlights just how sometimes, there is nothing you can do against the tank. One user argued, \u201cPeak Mauga gameplay is just boring. Even if he hadn\u2019t Ulted, the fight would be similar. He\u2019s just Bastion with no tempo and way to disengage.\u201d Another player thinks Mauga has brought back a hyperfocused energy. They said: \u201cAll Mauga has done since release is give everyone \u201cFOCUS THE TANK\u201d energy instead of take out the healers and DPS and it\u2019s kinda funny\u201d However, others think the interaction is perfectly reasonable. A poster sarcastically posted, \u201cI didn\u2019t survive getting solo Ulted, Mauga broken blizzard pls fix\u201d, imitating the original poster. Others pointed out that other heroes are getting a chance to shine because of this. In particular, the once notoriously weak Lifeweaver. A user said: \u201cLifeweaver is getting his shine these days. Easy to yank the tank out this Ult\u201d It\u2019s hard to say how Mauga will be viewed in the long run. He does feel a little one-dimensional right now but as strategy, counters, and balance changes evolve, perhaps some more nuance will to the fore. Here\u2019s hoping, that after he\u2019s had some time to settle, players can find more fun ways to interact with the big guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
