easier solution to consider

Create a passive that makes it so that allied barriers are placed near this barrier (within X distance) becomes weakened by having their overall health lowered

So then individual tanks don’t have to be nerfed or restrict player options while making it so that dps arnt gimped vs double barrier

I’d rather have that than have people frothing at the mouth like double barriers are the only thing people play asking for more tank nerfs

while 80% of the time I’m solo barrier tank and dps power creep rips my barrier like its paper and repeated nerfs to tanks from goats era to to now have made them overall so unfun to play

Which heroes are you playing and having trouble with against double barrier?

7

I just want shield breaking to be a viable option against double shield outside of bastion.

8

All teams should be limited to one shield tank tbh.

Barriers were a mistake. Rein is about the only acceptable level of barrier because all he can do when his barrier is up move.

Because 120 damage every 2 seconds on a slow moving projectile would totally destroy double barrier. /s

11

Even when Sym’s alt fire wen through barriers all that meant was the healer healed whoever ate that and the barrier stayed up.

12

Orisa as a solo anchor is laughable, depending on the DPS/tanker being used on the other side, it literally gets instantly blown up.

If there’s a Roadhog with a Hanzo/Junkrat, well, your barrier is nothing more them wet paper on CD.

13

you think im talking about “just” orisa?

14

Easier solution, lower Sigma and Orisa’s firepower, such that it’s a legit weakness to not have an offtank.

(Retired thread) Sigma/Orisa = Less Damage

15

why do we need to keep nerfing tanks?

16

Because powercreeping everything else wouldn’t make sense

17

Every shield feels the same when solo tanking, but Orisa is the one you feel the most, because right now its the one with the highest CD, and if i’m not mistaken it has the HP of a Winston bubble ?

18

yea…how about no

Yes, lets make tankers even more reliant on other players, that is a fire-proof way of killing the role entirely.

Not being able to enforce your own shield by not having enough firepower is the worst idea i’ve seen for a while.

It would be the same as nerfing the damage from some DPS so they could only deal meanignful damage if they had a Zenyatta to discord.

Why do you think so many people despised having to play Reinhardt in the first place ? its so mind numbing when the only thing you can do most of the time is hold your shield up and pray that your team-mates do something in the mean time.

Orisa herself wouldn’t even be a problem if other heroes from the Tank category didn’t get massive nerfs, when she got released, you could simply push her past the shield with a D.va and trade blows with her, but now that D.va is horribly squishy and got her damage taken a hit as well, no more of that.

the solution to double barrier is toning down burst damage, buffing up the other tanks and reverting the armor nerf.
Suddenly double barrier won’t be as needed because tanks would actually be able to survive.
