I decided to stop tanking since it’s just a chore to play with every new balance updates. No fun allowed. So which dps heroes always good to go?

I always think this way of thinking is funny. Sigma (and Ball) have been pretty opressive on the tank roster. The more nerfs to them, the more tank diversity opens up.
You forget how 2 months ago almost all the tanks were viable and being played til Bap got buffed and the Sigma meta developed?
You’d think Tanks would have fun playing Rein, Zarya, Winston, Dva, Hog, etc. and not Sigma every game. I know that I certainly get bored having only 2-3 viable options when a support meta is particularly strict.

Well, I enjoy playing only two tanks Orisa and Sigma. Orisa still dead, Sigma is gonna be in kinda ok spot. The thing is with every patch I have to re-learn how to play them again is not okay. DPS never really change their game style, they don’t feel clunky, devs always give compensation to the nerf, they feel fluid to play. So that’s why I want to play dps now.

Depends on your rank. I have a lot of fun with Torb lately just by putting the turret in weird places, but that’s because most in Bronze have the awareness of dead cats.
Exhibit A. I literally just threw it behind them while in front of them.

What do these changes realistically fix though? Ball got a slap on a wrist and sigma has been turned into a clunky mess (literally anything would’ve been better). But a lot of the things that kept a lot of tanks are still the same, and especially the hanzo buff pushes Winston (and to an extent rein)even further from viability. I won’t be surprised if we end up in a ball/Zarya double sniper meta soon. The only good thing to come of this patch (as a tank) is the death of Mashe, which really sucked to play against.

Yeah. When you nerf the tanks people have fun with and enjoy playing, you force them to play tanks they don’t like. Diversity!
… Or they just go play another video game

Well, I’m solid plat on tanks and supp. Did placements on dps and got mid-gold 
Tracer or Echo, blizzard won’t ever nerf them.
Oh yes, Tracer. Very annoying entity. Nice choice!

Just because Sigma got a ton of bricks dropped on his feet doesn’t mean Winston will be any better against this Hanzo buff.
When it comes to tanks you’d want your partner tank to be able to cover for you or help with engages and disengagement.
Can’t do that when damage is so high and your abilities are made arbitrarily clunky.

That’s what I did! Steam Christmas sale was a blast. Been playing through No Man’s Sky and We Happy Few lately. Both had rough starts and there’s still a few shaky bugs that show their indie developments despite the AAA publishers, but I’m having a blast with them. One’s basically space Minecraft and the other’s Bioshock: 1984.
Remember, happiness is a choice!
…anyway I only show up to play events for the limited time skins now. I don’t like it. Wish they’d just stop that so I can actually quit until the sequel rolls out.

I wish to know more about this support mafia you speak of.

I mean Blizzard won’t nerf her. Chances are, next patch they’ll reduce her spread by 20% and increase her falloff by 3 meters, and compensate it with a 12.1 second Recall cooldown.
