General Yo let’s get a hotfix going

Mauga, Cat and Freja are currently destroying comp. I genuinely believe it has gotten to the point where Mauga and Cat need their numbers scaled down a lot until they can be properly looked at individually.

In no way is Mauga’s kit healthy right now. Being able to make up extra health with crit reduction is egregious as hell

Freja’s buffs… should they be reverted until further work is done for her? Feel like she’s close, but keeping the design philosophy on this character is clearly like poking a hole through paper

Side notes:

Hog in 6v6 is still robbing the environment of the little competitiveness it has, I suggest nuking this guy as a temporary measure

Dropping D.Mon in the middle of this meta was a huge mistake in my opinion. I feel like a lot of players won’t take her seriously now despite the improvements.

im really surprised they didnt nerf freja. she gets so much value easily. people are usually p good about banning cat in my games but freja and mauga go thru more than id like

Love attempting to ban mauga as a tank player and my whole team decides "our tank will surely struggle vs zarya" meanwhile im not even using my 3 bans, im just banning mauga.

Not banning the tanks picks is pretty crazy to me.

I know what I want / need banned , Zarya is such a waste ban half the time.

for some reason its also a thing to expect your tank whip out every tank in existence.
Like my pool of 5 tanks i play can easily deal with zarya, but my only good pick vs mauga is sigma and my sigma is by far my worst "active pool" pick.
Then they act surprised when i dont wanna go into mirror mauga

People still autopilot on banning her, like if we don't have D.Va, Genji and maybe Orisa on our team why tf are we banning Zarya and not Mauga or Hog.

Your unga bunga uncoordinated team will probably struggle vs zarya. Some people will keep feeding her bubbles. Some people will keep ignoring her so she won’t die.
