#boycotttankqueue

if thats the price we have to pay im sure you will be okay to pay the price of more than half an hour queue. Have fun :slight_smile:

A few bad players quitting the game over tank nerfs won’t affect my queue times at 4300+, unlike the forums, good tank players are capable of realizing and are willing to acknowledge that tank heroes are grossly overtuned right now.

Dont need to let them know that since they dont even get paid regular wages by their employers lul.

RLLY? Has this been an issue lately? That’s… astounding

Ye, I just keep playing my beloved Sigma. His shield uptime feels like almost half of what it was before these nerfs, and ppl can complain and want Rein, as they already did before nerfs. I refuse to play Rein bc I find him boring and as such I’ve never learned to play him well anyway.

The whole tank role? I dont think so. They are supposed to be able to tank after all. Maybe some, like Rein and Roadhog, are a bit strong compared to the other tanks.

Yes, the entire role has been overtuned for a long time, the only ones that aren’t overtuned are the ones that have already received heavy nerfs (D.Va, Sigma, Orisa)

Winston is the biggest issue, but Zarya, Ball & Reinhardt all need to take their turns getting knocked down before that role will become more balanced, the unfortunate thing is tank players don’t want their role to be balanced, they’re accustomed to almost exclusively playing the most impactful role, the people advocating for D.Va buffs don’t want her to be ‘balanced’ they want her to be straight up better than 80% of the cast.

It’s not D.Va or Orisa being F-Tier useless heroes individually that stop them seeing play right now, it’s the ridiculous power present in the rest of the tank role that makes them redundant.

And even Rein isn’t great rn. . .the role is too team-focused, in a game where Diamond and below is lucky to get any teamwork or reliable comms.
Lower healing, buff Support Utility, and then give Tanks their survivability back. Tanks are too strong at the top level because they turn immortal with good Supports.
Nobody wants to be a shield-bot, nobody wants to be a heal-bot, and nobody wants to shoot at shields all day. The first iteration of Breakable barriers went in the right direction. Barriers being weak, with personal protection being stronger is okay. That still allows for Ult Charge to be farmed, if at a reduced rate (still better than no Charge from shields).
But then they continued to nerf Tanks into the ground. This last Sigma nerf put him into the ground for me, and I’m finally done. He was my favorite Tank since this game has released, and I’ve stuck with the character until now.
Then they wonder why people don’t queue up for the role.

I mean the only fun tanks are Hog, Ball and D.va and only 2 of them are somewhat viable nowadays…

Boycott Accepted. I shall avoid playing these tanks. Thank you for the idea.
