1: Reduce the range of Zaryas beam. She shouldn’t be able to challenge high ground in any shape or form unless she is literally on a icewall or the payload. There is no reason Sym should have to put herself in more danger than Zarya, with a much worse character design at the same time. If Zarya wants to contest high ground at all she should have to walk up to it or right click. Period.
2: Make it so Reinhardt can’t vacuum people with pins, and so seismic slam can’t go up walls/around corners, into your cousins house and steal their money.
3: I know I said 2, but I lied! Buff other tanks please and thanks. Or give us real counters to Reinhardt’Zarya cause I am literally falling asleep in my games now.
The issue is we’d be nerfing every tank and be back to square one of nerfing the next best thing.
We’ve had enough nerfs. We need to start looking at buffs and not nerfing anything. Or, if we do nerf something, allocate that power into other elements of their kits
That is funny.
Just in the past year, we had double shield. Then Hog Zarya. After that, Ball Sigma. Now we have Rein.
But every time dps mains will come crying for nerfs because they hate every single tank. It is just like that, sadly.
And Blizzard will nerf Rein and people will complain about the next tank in the meta.
Tanks are still the strongest role. Even if Rein/Zarya outright not exist this would still be true. As such there is not really a need to buff when nerfing is a more efficient solution that keeps the power balance relatively close.
Every role is important. If tanks really represented that much power, don’t you think people would be willing to play them more to fulfill that power fantasy?
The fact that a queue pass exists shows just how devoid the class is alone
I think every game ever that has had role splits like Overwatch pretty clearly shows the majority of Hom0 sapiens want to play dps. There’s definitely things Blizzard could do to make tanking more appealing but I don’t think any amount of changes would ever override the natural bias to dps role.
They’d have to pry Genji from the cold, dead hands of these players and even then, they’d probably just quit before they seriously considered tanking.
*so apparently the word home-o is not allowed, learn something new every day
Zaryas beam can reach from the floor level of Dorado to the top of the arch way without any assistance when escorting the payload to the second point as an example. Sym can’t do that without putting herself in danger, so Zarya shouldn’t be able to either. Especially since Zarya is just a stronger, better hero in every aspect.
