Blizzard fails to deliver again

Im at the end of my rops with this game, if i could I would demand a REFUND on this seasons purchases. this mid season patch trash. competative match making trasu. I have been matched with new accounts all day every day in high plat diamond having to fend for my self because now tanks like doom fist and ball dominate the back ranks of enemy teams.

The game is JUST tanks. Supports cannot survive because their entire front line is gone. just poof vanished with a single patch. remove us from the game already and make this game valorant we all know you do. and give me a refund of my entire account. waste of money. idk why id want to support this company or project anymore. unkillable tanks, glass cannon 0 damage 0 survivability supports. and a dps [passive that makes healing a useless ability. just remove it from the game entirely if your going to bend us over anyways.

all tanks get a damage reduction bonus… now dive tanks have no risk and all reward what a stupid idea.

As ive been saying. Dive tanks are undoubtedly the biggest problem in this game at any rank above gold. Theres nothing a dps or support could do to survive a dive tank when they have the best mobility in the game.

Tanks believe they should have all of the benefits and none of the detriments tho. They believe they ahould be allowed to keep all 3

High dmg
High dmg mit
Highest mobility

Why would you need to balance the choices a player has, against a choices a player does not have?

Why would DPS/Support need to be equivalent to a Tank hero, if DPS/Support players cannot switch to Tank midgame?

Tank heroes aren’t included in the hero choices for DPS/Tank players. They are entirely separate sets of Choices.

Not a single word that you just said makes remotely any sense to the statement you responded to

Role vs Role Balancing hasn’t been relevant for the last half Decade, and you still haven’t figured that out yet.

Boy your just a boat floating on a sea of misinformation arent you

Well then, where does your “information” for your definition of “Balance” come from?

You gotta have a good primary source for that, if you wanna claim that other information is wrong.

Right?

So what’s your Source?

Nope, they are right.

You have a game where you need x players of one role, and y players of another… you will end up balancing the roles so you get them.

Because, you don’t get a lot of other choices in that matter.

Well to be fair, technically Role vs Role Balancing does exist, on the basis of Popularity.

When people make the, Choice, on what Role to queue as.

Right, but not in the way Dredd thinks it does.

If they want tanks to be weaker, then they need a way to make them more popular.

That will drive up the number of people playing them, which then will get Blizzard to adjust their power…

But Peeps like Dredd don’t get that, and I know you do.

Achieving popularity in a role is easily done by adding a wider range of options to choose from. You do not do that by making a role even more incredibly influential to the game results by putting them on steroids. The Reason DPS is so popular, is specifically because of the much wider array of options.

Both of you are wrong

Well yeah.

He thinks ALL heroes need to be considered Choices all at the same time, for each individual player. And therefore you need to Balance all those choices for equal Viability.

aka “Roles need to have equal power, or else it’s not bAlAnCeD”

And that you can’t buff things, because tierlisting a balance group of a maximum of 17 heroes, is just as much complexity as the amount of characters/cards in League of Legends, or Magic the Gathering. And that’s IMPOSSIBLE to do timely power budget adjustments when a set of choices has power inflation, when you have a maximum of 17 Choices to Balance.

aka “I’ll use this word called Power Creep, and act like it applies to every game in existence, despite it only applying to a few games”

Like most people here, they got their “information” by pulling it out of their behind. Therefore, that makes OP’s information factual.

And given they are adding tanks and support at a higher rate of DPS. Sure, eventually that may even work.

But that isn’t where they are at now, and unless you have like 10+ new tank heroes to drop, it isn’t practical.

But again…

I covered it when I said…

Adding 10 new tanks would make it more popular.

you realize people are just buying accounts dont you to make the numbers go up

are you plat? in higher ranks, dive tanks get trashed on by mauga, orisa, brig

I was an og tank player in ow1 and all I can say is that I hate tanks that can do everything. I don’t want to have all these powercreep. I want 6v6 back where I can coordinate with my partner, play for space and rock the game with impactful plays and ultimates. not by being unkillable or being a “must-be-countered.” The real tank players haven’t asked for all of this. the only tanks with 5v5 mentality are the ones that just want to play tanks like a dps, abuse the powercreep and being unkillable.

Masters. And as they should be. Dive tanks are unkillable machines that have the choice to make the game completely unplayable for whatever DPS or support they choose despite having to sacrifice their life for it at times.

This i can 100% respect
