The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Haven’t done one in a while but i’ve been using my R3 in AQ more alongside my latest R5 Cull Obsidian and by god do they shred everything. Admittedly we run a low map but Maw and Cull finish fights in a matter of seconds, maybe 1 or 2 heavy attacks.
Additionally, having played around with Maw more and more i’ve become far more used to his gameplay loop in longer fights, once you can get to the -40% combat power rate phase he really excels, been using him as my go to power controller, he did work on eternity of pain Ikaris for sure.
The only place he doesn’t do amazingly at is mid range health pool fights, the kind of 15-25k PI ranges, but if you’re running Cull with him that’s sorted, they really work excellently off each other, playing into each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
I already know some people hate Maw and still think he’s a noodle, but really all those people are doing is really limiting their options and cutting themselves off from a champion who can bring a great sense of control and safety to a fight (and also dishes out some pretty nasty damage if you use him right). The way his loop works makes him very consistent, and that’s why he’s my go to power controller/tricky business solver.

I used him in the mystic Cav EQ chapter a bit. He’s awesome.
Check out Daddylonglegs on YT. He has a lot of Maw gameplay in high tier AW and such.
I think it's a bug, but with the mountain of bugs atm, I don't think it will be fixed anytime soon
