Buffed Ebony Maw - almost there

Poor ebony maw still can't get the love he deserves. So many people likes his animations, yet he is still very-very-VERY situational. But with the buff is is in a good way to be awesome.
The degen is pretty decent, thumbs up.
The black tongue falters are extremely short-you barely able to fit all 3 hits into the time-frame
Solution: should be at least double the time
The persistent charge mechanic still feels a bit useless.
His base damage is still noodles.
Solution: with every persistent charge his damage should increase with 30-40%, so when ramped up, he would feel like a true competitor to the top of the mystic class.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Overall, this buff is solid, not the best but not useless as Nova has.
But....Le sigh, I guess good ol Ebony Maw will get the sentry treatment. Oh well, I’ll still play with him because I LOVE his animations.
He’s a telekinetic psychic manipulator. Kabam is sticking by his actual character.
1. Longer falter duration or the L2 refreshes falter on each hit
2. Bigger damage boost for black tongue
3. Some form of increased power gain: black tongue decreases their power gain and increases yours, or under black tongue basic attacks steal 2% max power
4. Some bonus for nullifying (infinite falter stacks that expire when you are missed is my vote)
He is almost very solid, but needs one (🤞) more buff to get there
He’s definitely got flaws, but I think it’s a successful buff, and it makes him much less of a bad pull. I’m gonna test out my maw a lot more, see how good he is unawakened and figure out if he’s worth r2 or eventually r3
I think for me, it’s just a bit too soon to say for sure if the buff is as useless as people are saying. I think he has potential and hopefully over the coming months we will see some cool gameplay!
Regardless, the buff has made him considerably better, which is all that should be expected from these buffs. They’re meant to make champions better pulls and less disappointing
It'd be a lot better if they just had him start with Black Tongue on Offense.
Once he's in Black Tongue, he's a lot more useful. Great power control, universal nullify on sp1, decent damage boost. I dare say he's actually good if you delete those first 60 seconds.
When I line everything up....he’s satisfying to play. 4K degeneration ticks are a beautiful sight
