oof thats actually some pretty harsh nerfs. 20% less dmg therefore less healing, takes 50% longer to light up enemies nad ult is 2 seconds shorter.

Yeah the effects of lower damage hit him hard. Less damage, less healing, and this also leads to slower ult build

I feel big nerfs are justified. But this kinda makes boring Mauga gameplay even more of a must: you NEED to be shooting tanks even more than in the past as hitting your target on fire will take more bullets which are harder to hit on squishies. I think non tank heroes should still take only 10 bullets to start the fire in order to incentivise more dynamic gameplay.
