Me happily getting clickbaited by Cyx for the 10000th time for Hog Gameplay: :) Plus the DPS getting nerfed with the passive indirectly rebuffs take a breather, especially considering he plays top 500 lobbies and likely will have it applied most of the time using breather.
Yeah not a giga buff, but it gets the clicks. I'd say the 50% increase is good though, since his 4x shrapnels are losing a bit of damage against armor.
crazy how all the creators have been going nuts with this patch yet here we see Cyx instantly adjust to deal with it. Guy took the changes like a G. I'm taking this one as a learning experience and putting it into my Platinum games. Activate > run > cooldown > attack. Seems comms are gonna be so much more important in games now!
Basically counter swapping is more common now... it got worse. You are in Plat, so your other team won't be as effective or as good as Cyx's. It is a scrappy patch and if you ever rank up you'll see very quickly how this patch is crappy.
This is the problem with OW2 these days, even in a GM lobby people don't understand how abilities work. :) "Why are you running from a cardiac overdrived Mauga?" GUESS!
Doin the mauga math. mauga has a dps of about 237 when the enemy is on fire and he’s mag dumping into a big target. in the previous iteration his 237 dps would have converted to 142 hps for a a total of 711 lifesteal healing over 5 seconds in the most ideal circumstances without any other buff or hero assistance. The current patch allows for 100% lifesteal as opposed to 60% Meaning at 237 dps the mauga will receive 237 hps for a total of… 711 hps over 3 seconds in the ideal circumstances. This coupled with the 10% extra damage reduction and his overhealth generation would give him a little less than 3 times the effective health pool in that 3 second duration. Overall a net nerf imo. He was already unkillable in cardiac overdrive and now that everyone has realized the best counter play is to LOS him till the ability is used up all that this is going to do is make it easier to back off and wait him out.
So to make mauga meta, u just need good teammates to stop everyone running around from mauga such as Mei or junkrat to trapped enemies stay near mauga during his cardiac overdrive ?
@@AJ_UK18 I mean generally Mauga is a pretty solid hero anyway. Even with this net nerf the armor buff is going to improve his survivability against most characters. However to go with your thought process of good hero synergy I’d recommend a support like Lucio to speed him up and make it easier for him to close the gap.
AND knock back resistance nerf, makes his whole hog knock tanks back further which is less damage on the tank. So it was a double nerf. They basically buffed all the armor tanks, good thing hog has no armor.
The buff is trying to make it more of a trap to cut off areas but they didn't remove the 1 shot combo with it so hog players aren't going to stop using it for the 1 shot. if them make the activation damage much less but the damage overtime much higher than if you got hooked into it while still having a cooldown than you can escape BUT if you don't have any cooldowns than you die. I think this would be better because he can still basically 1 shot if he is with his team or if the enemy used all of they're cooldowns but I don't see that much use for it cutting off an area like disruptor shot
I've been maining Hog for years. I've mastered his hook-shot-melee to the point where when I kill someone, it looks as though I killed them with a shot but in the feed, it'll show as melee.
they may buff overdrive back to 4 sec. frankly unless he use cage it's so ez to wait out the overdrive and then re-engage ! what's the point of 3sec when every CC takes off 1 sec atleast and He has like 2 sec effective overdrive or even less. Overall unless you're dumb enough to face tank mauga on his shout for pure ego duel, the uptime nerf outweighs the buff by a massive deal !
A lot of OW content creators were bitching and moaning about this patch and tbh they did kinda ohde with the tank buffa but lets be real they are callled tanks for a reason and its only one of them not 2 anymore WE BEEN NEEDED THIS Blizzard gets a W for me after OW2 came out... Lets not act like people wanted to rank prior to this patch ...
if you can’t mitigate his bullets for three seconds your tank is brain dead dva can propel and eat the ENTIRE COOLDOWN and have half a second left on her matrix and now mauga has zero sustain ability untill his cooldown is back
@@MontageHustle you'd rather have raid boss tanks that you can't kill? You legitimately can't outplay tanks right now as a dps if they walk on you. You either have to run for it or you die. That's some really shitty gameplay and it's clear that 5v5 is not working
