The 1 tank that could survive reliably against cheese heroes. Ofc dps overlords don’t want any counterplay so just smack half his shield and barerly give him anything. With 90% of soloqueue tank players being hog/ball (dps on tank slot rly) sigma just can’t stand his ground against any other main tank.
damn , feelsbadman.
PS: can we buff reaper/sombra/mei? They are really underpowered right now
I think Sigma was pretty bad face tanking damage so playing him as a main tank probably didn’t work out too well for most instances compared to when you put him next to a Rein or Orisa. And that’s why he is so much worse now: He could do everything a main tank could and more than the average off tank. With such a kit, nerfing everything is a solution that I don’t particularly mind.
I don’t know about you but I’m still getting tons of good results with Sigma.
Annnnnnnd just like that I realize you are either completely oblivious or insane. Okay.
NO! DEAR GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NOOOOOO!
I’ve been winning most of the matches I’ve played as Sigma. Some where I die only once or twice.
Rotating Barrier and his shift, and moving backwards or forwards next to LoS works really well for his survival. You’ve just got to bare in mind, you’re not a brawler tank, you’re more of a ranged tank, which requires LOTS of repositioning.
If you’re landing the E at good time, and being more active with your positioning, he’s great. You basically have to control your angles more, and force mid range fights as much as possible.
Also I mainly play with an Ana, and found that the combo of them both is a soft counter to Roadhog, if you focus on stopping his heal. Using Barrier/positioning to bait his hook, and then rotating to Shift while he spam shoots works really well. Wait for some damage on him, and then follow up with an E burst/Grenade/Sleep to finish him off. You can also use Shift or E to peel his Hooks, or when he gets melee range of the other tank.
I also find him really effective vs Rein (in melee mode), Wrecking Ball (E after his slam), and out of position Zarya’s (after shield).
His biggest weaknesses are close-range fights and beam damage.
What’s sigmas barrier now? How much hp? Cause it take 5 years fir it to regenerate…
Then plan for it, reposition, rotate with your Shift, rotate with the other tank’s shield, don’t play overly aggresive or try to face tank.
I find that his shield regen is so gosh dang slow that his eat is not enough combined with his extremely slow floating pace. Sigma is in his most nerfed state and i don’t enjoy playing him anymore. Zaryas bubble is more useful to me than his eat because his shield gets erased so fast now It’s almost pointless like orisas.
