Avoid tank role for your sanity

So what you’re saying is Sombra is a major unsolvable issue, gotcha.

I actually didn’t mind one-tricking Ram in season six. Both barrier and block did just fine in stymying Bastion, imo. However, there were very few Sombras running around at my level. I’m not sure I want to deal with tank CC plus Ana’s sleep dart plus Sombra’s hack as a regular thing. I’ll be in one of the other queues for a while.

Did you check out the Sombra rework blog?

My favourite part was where they tested replacements for Hack silence but decided that stuff like a damage reduction debuff was too oppressive compared to an ability lock-out.

Bro I stopped tanking back in OW1.

Only started again because Junker Queen is fun as hell. So I force her whenever I play tank, unless I feel like the enemy comp will let me show the full power of Dva. Which is basically never, even in QP.

So. DPS / Support queue it is, unless I feel like invoking the power of abs and axes.

Every tank feels terrible to play except Orisa and Zarya…

New season but the meta remains exactly the same. Top notch job Mr. Dawson.

so in conclusion water is wet.
It was always a constant battle to play d.va in any capacity other than “that one fight” before the counters come lol.
This won’t deter the true masochists d.va enjoyers

it’s almost like it works better with 2 tanks, it’s so much worse rn with new sombra/mei + bastion/soldier/ana/zen/anything, you get shredded and you can barely move

IDK if you are into conspiracy theories my dude but me having a conflicting opinion does not make any “agenda”. Sorry but im not playing your game.

Amazing Irony because thats what you just did.
Theres zero Ad hominem in my posts and you unironically threw one at me without actually trying to debate/refute anything.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

Got called out slings passive aggressive statements.

Yup you were a long gone tank player.

I think my fellow brothers and sisters in armor here agree.

Tank players are angry.

Again, I dont play into conspiracy theories my dude. No passive aggressive anything here, my claims are a trillion % clear. In fact I am literally well known here for being brutally direct lol.

You are 100% making up this in your head.

Dont make up crowds to agree with you, thats Ad Populum fallacy.

And all my True Flex Player brothers agree (see? we can all do it).

Tank players are angry by default. Since 2019 (lets see if you can figure out why the date)
Again, nothing changed really.

Tank is complete trash and it’s really no wonder that 90% of the people still playing it seem to be the diehard Doomfist fanatics.

This is such a dumb ignorant comment to make. You’re implying that tanking in OW1 and 2 are no different when the reality is they are vastly different experiences. Sounds like you have 10 lifetime hours on tank.

Shows how little you know. OW1 tanks had more power. A little more health and small ability buffs is not more powerful than tank synergy.

Yeah it is getting old. That’s why we keep making posts about it. And honestly tank posts are RARE because nobody plays it anymore.

This isn’t why tanks are bad. They’ve gotten progressively worse every season because blizz keeps buffing supports and dps and does nothing to tanks but treat it like the rotating buff role where they keep all tanks F tier and then give us 1-2 viable tanks every season.

The game has just never been balanced for solo tank. Balancing for solo tank would mean it’s the hardest role in the game to counter, since a 1 person role in the front line is by default the easiest thing to counter, balancing it would mean taking steps to reduce the power counters have over tanks, but they are doing nothing about the plethora of anti tank heroes and abilities.

Amazing. Everything you said was wrong.
1 - Take a chill pill, you made that implication 100%. Learn the meaning of the words and stop with the insults.
2 - I am 100% sure I have way more hours than you, so don’t bait.

Again, all wrong.
1 - They factually are more powerful. Everyone knows this, you can compare any OW2 tank with its OW1 version and its blatant
2 - Tank synergy is a meme. There are barely 3-4 viable combos and all the others were basically trash/soft throwing.

Okay you are so obviously lying and trolling here.

Tank synergy was everything in OW1.

You haven’t the faintest clue and I bet you’re trying to redirect the conversation.

Tank right now is the most painful its been to play since the content hiatus years in OW1.

It’s fun for DPS and support. That’s all that matters

This is a sign of a very weak argument when people respond like this lol

And I am 100% sure I’m much higher rank than you

Must be why one of the best ball players in the world made a video about how ball is the worst tank now.

No way you’re not trolling. I’m not replying to you anymore. Tank synergy was THE most powerful thing in OW1.

There it is, cant refute? Insults. Nice. Thanks for exposing yourself.

My guy you literally came here accusing and insulting without any intention of debating whatsoever, now you are going to act innocent when I refute you? :rofl:

Private Profile, low account. Hardcore press X to doubt.
Also you said hours, not rank. Rank shaming is quite sad but hey you do you.

Oh so if that dude made a video, everyone else has to bow and say “Yes master”, is that how it works? Cool.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of “synergy” if you say that but sure, keep looking at the past with rose tinted glasses and pretend that in the end 60% of the matches was not Ball + Hog running around trying to flank/get picks.

Amazing synergies right there :+1:
