š§© Problem: Tank vs Tank = Useless Stalemate
Sustained tank-on-tank battles go nowhere when both sides have solid healing.
Maugaās kit doesnāt shine in drawn-out duels without a tactical advantage.
Fighting fair is for suckersāforce the unfair fight.
š„ The Break Strategy
Step 1: Overrun to Backline
Use Overrun (Maugaās charge ability) to bypass the front and dive into the backline healersāespecially low-mobility ones like:
Zenyatta (no escape tools)
Ana (only Sleep Dart, usually static)
Mercy (if not airborne, sheās free real estate)
šÆ Target Priority:
Zen > Ana > Mercy (grounded) > Baptiste > Illari
Ignore Lucio/Kiriko early unless theyāre isolated.
Step 2: Trigger the Pincer
While you engage healers solo, call out the push. Your teamā2 DPS and 2 supportācan:
Burn down the tank (now unhealed)
Pick off DPS with burst focus fire
Win numbers advantage early
šØļø Tip: Ping or call ānowā as you overrunātiming is everything.
Step 3: Leave No Survivors
Clean up after healers drop. Rotate fast to regroup for next fight before respawns reset tempo.
š Why It Works (The Math of Overwatch 2)
5v5 means every pick is 20% less pressure.
Healers dead = tank is meat.
Mauga with Overrun + passive regen is self-sustaining enough for chaos plays.
Most teams panic or stagger when their supports fallāthis opens the objective.
š§ Counter Notes
Watch for high-mobility healers (Lucio, Kiriko) who can dodge youādonāt tunnel.
Ping your Overrun direction if your team doesnāt track your dive.
If enemy runs Moira + Lucio, consider baiting them into overchasing, then flipping to DPS assist mode.
