GJ Devs! That’s a step in right direction.

  1. No more dps q (2 times lowered at least)
  2. No more tank defining meta, or even no meta at all!
  3. More space, less protection, skill overwhelms over moba aspects
  4. More dynamic
  5. You dont think about 6 players of enemy team and focus on your individual play instead
  6. More individual play less team dependency
  7. No more sitting at chocke points
  8. Supports can focus on killing instead of healing, so more hybrid play instead of healbotting
  9. Tanks would have some buffs to be able to play more agressively as solo tank.
  10. You can flex inside your role, you can dps as support, space create as df or phara mercy. 1 healer can focus on maint tank, there would be less damage cause of no 2nd tank, and another healer can play with dps or for himself
    Cant wait to play it already! That radical change will shake ow community in a good way, dynamic will get back, no more stale metas, no more tank defining the flow of the game!

Oh, there will always be a meta. Even with no tanks or healers a meta would develop.

5 years of ow tanks were ruining this game, cause were defining factor in terms of meta, dps roster is more flexable and I believe it will bring more versitality. No hate to tank players or something you can think about, I think it is just bad game design which would be fixed with ow2 finally!
More individual play, more clutch moments which almost do not exist in this game now

2000 hours on Tank here. I am switching to DPS. Your math is off.

There will be the 1! meta Tank. If you don’t pick it your team will sh!t all over you and report you.

Yeah pretty sure every tank player is going to quit playing tank, no tanks and double the dps players = longer queue times. good luck. This change is horrible

You literally don’t even get to play the game as tank half the time because brig, doom, mccree, mei, etc. There are tons of heroes literally designed to bully tanks.

math is something bigger than you or me, or someone else, it is called statistic, which says ratio changed from 2:4 to 1:4 so demand is on 4. parity numbers was never good for evolving.

how about mei was always considered as off tank, doom is a good space creator, phara mercy provide more space than your avg golden elo tanks? How about anti cc on tank, and other buffs? You all just overreacting to something new and unfamiliar guys, chill, it will be good.

You can’t look at this change in isolation.

If no one wants to play Tank, then the ratio literally doesn’t matter anymore.

If you dont understand something new, it doesn’t mean that you are stupid or which is you reading is stupid, you will get it, but later, don’t worry that much, all would be great, take your time. Stale meta time is over, more heroes will become viable, game would be more versatile. It is just so obvious.

This ^^
1 less tank slot means more people queueing for support and dps which will mean these roles will have even high queue times most likely. I don’t know what OP is on lol

1st what it means - less demand to have a tank. The rest is just static mesh which will adjust with different incentives and individual preferences.

YOu mean scrimms? Road to pro?
No, I am just a booster I <3 ladder climb.

you know, this change impacts people who take this game seriously and opinions coming from people who don’t care about that whatsoever have no value.

5 v 5 is the worse thing they can do this game. Lots of the player base did not like the experimental they put out.

It’s almost like… OW was supposed to be a TEAM game…hmmm…
yeah, you’re one of the DPS that let the enemy push a payload like a Sunday walk in the park cause you think you’re playing COD.

Supports aren’t supposed to “focus” on killing, lol… so you are also the DPS Moira or Bap that let your team die, got it…

DPS que will just be longer, because there’s only 1 tank role, and nobody will want to play it anymore… so enjoy that.

I don’t think you know what OW is, LOL. It’s not a solo play deathmatch game (except deathmatch obviously)

Snipers are going to define matches right away. I guess shield tanks will be a must
