Bastion has more Health than 3 Tanks in Open Queue

Bruh.mp3.

Junker Queen, Ramattra and Doomfist all go from 450 to 300 Health. A WHOPPING 33% HEALTH NERF, JUST BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME-MODE?

Bastion has 300 Health, with some Armour, so he actually has more than 300 Health.

Now I know what you’re thinking, “BuT tHosE TANks cAN USe tHeiR AbiLitIEs TO gAIn eXtRa heALtH!”.

Yeah, but so can Bastion, because Configuration: Assault gives Bastion ADDITIONAL Damage Resistance.

He also has like 10X the Damage.

Because it’s another Point proving that Tanks are being Bullied by the Devs and that 6V6 is Objectively Better.

Also, these kinds of things that have to happen back during 6V6.

And also it shows that Tanks were Over-Nerfed when Bastion just gets to exist as he is because he has DPS Privilege.

I think someone hates every part of Overwatch TBH.

Having a Solo Tank with only 3 at most being actual Viable Picks, while all Supports and DPS are allowed to keep their Tank-Busting Abilities and Focus that one Tank, whilst Flankers are murdering your Backline because CC doesn’t exist, causing Supports to be Buffed so they can murder you more is also really bad, if not worse than Double Shield EVER was.

I’m a lil biased on who

Because the tank changes for open queue still promote tank spam, but just the tanks with high HP pools over 400. DVA, Rein, Wrecking Ball, etc.

Their callous change just made the low HP tanks garbage. It kills balance diversity in open queue. People suggested better alternatives under a year ago, so they can’t say they have no valid ideas.

again. why should we care about open q?

Because that’s a part of the Game that has a ‘COMpeTitiVe mODe’ for some reason.

Just because YOU don’t Play it doesn’t mean no one does. Plus Tanks are just Bad in all Game-Modes, they could at least be a little less Bad in Open Queue.

Because that’s how the game was literally designed from the ground up. It’s like asking why you should care about the engine in your car.

Huh???

Original OW was basically no limits. Let us tank players have open queue to get some actual enjoyment playing tank. Here’s a hot take, why should tank players care about role queue?

5v5 tank health pools showed us how broken OQ always has been. If you want balance, go RQ.

Throwing in a game mode with “competitive” on the button just means it uses the competitive ruleset. I’m pretty sure the only balance change that exists for OQ was the tank health nerf, otherwise you’re just gonna have to deal with the hand-me-down balance changes you get from RQ.

Bastion has 375 effective hp and healing is 20% more effective in tank mode and immunity to headshots.

So it’s in fact worse that your implying.

They shouldn’t. As a tank/flex player, role queue made this game 10000X worse for me. The game was designed from the ground up as a 6 v 6 mode. Winston’s bubble went on cooldown after breaking, there was an “attack/defense” class, etc.

When I played flex, I climbed. Doomfist harassing the back? I’ll go Sombra. The second he swaps off, I go back to tank.

Role queue sucks and 1 tank makes this game even worse.
