I have been enjoying mauga for alittle while now but when I heard about the nerfs today, I think blizzard overstepped their balancing,
I am not justifying the high damage mauga had, it was too much and too easy to play him, I just hate how they nerf his damage but then don’t compensate by making his guns better in different areas
Maybe increase ammo to 400 but decrease damage to 2.5-3 per bullet, but then increasing fire rate by 20-30% and shrinking his bullet spread when firing both guns by 20% and maybe nerf damage falloff to 18-20 metres
overall I feel like him being a hgh damage isn’t good enough cause of his bullet spread, tanks suffer against him when they have no shield or bubble but squishies can hold their ground longer because of the fact the bullet spread just misses half of the bullets, by increasing fire rate and accuracy but nerfing damage he can still hold his own with self healing but now squishies actually have to keep their distance or suffer high damage, as well as rewarding good accuracy instead of the current playstyle of “If I stop shooting their tank I will die” that is currently enforced
This might need tweaks but overall I genuinely feel like the overwatch team is having an aneurysm or they are panicking because the community is going nuts cause he has a high dps, overall, these changes are in the right direction but not enough, he needs something to keep his survivability but also help him be able to pick off the smaller enemies without losing out on heals
