Crying for Shields

I love seeing the cries…everyone complained about shields but now you can’t position in a way to not need them.

Then you want to call tank players trolls and throwers for not going a shield tank :rofl:

Maybe you should look at why people don’t want to go shield tank, or learn to play without shields…you clearly didn’t want to learn how to play against them

Edit: I almost have 2000 posts…if you don’t agree fine, but don’t ban me :triumph:

They wanted less shields for the enemy team. They forgot it applied to them too.

Same will happen when overall healing is nerfed.

The character that threatened shield-less tanks enough to make players use at least one also had their ability nerfed.

what hero is that? hanzo?

It was Mei.

Mei’s wall wasn’t nerfed…that’s what I mostly see tanks complain about

Her primary was used for Wreckingball, And a lot of players knew if Mei wasn’t around, Wreckingball would run wild. Sure enough, she was just recently nerfed, and Roadhog and Wreckingball are in a LOT of games now.

Mei got a light slap on the butt. I expect a heavier nerf.

It’s a mess, which most team based online games are I guess.

You get people for crying for shields, but I see an equal amount of tanks crying that healers are doing nothing but refusing to actually block any damage.

Most decent Meis use wall to cut off his movement…just like she does with every other tank…that tiny nerf to her slow did nothing

that’s easily fixed by positioning…the amount of supports who just want to stand out in the open is hilarious

It’s a good thing there isn’t a hero who can ignore most teams and come flying from the skybox and combo you to death in 1 second, and then ult to escape

I’m not even talking about needing protection, I’m talking about D.Va’s and Ball’s diving in then going “HEAL?” as they get focused by 6 people.

I had 3 matches in a row without shield tanks. I tried different approaches and different positioning. Nope the team still died.

Right? This reminds me of another comment I made, in a different thread. I was talking about how the community felt before the release of Sigma and up to now:

You can’t win with people, can you? :roll_eyes:


Edit

Honestly, as Ive said before:

It goes back to this whole thing that people want their team to be amazing and the enemy team to be horrendous. They want their shields to last forever, but they want the enemies to be made out of wet toilet paper. They want their supports to have infinite healing, but they want the enemy team supports to be free kills. And so on.

The problem is, balance like that can’t work in a PVP based game. The only way you can make anything like that work is PVE. But, it doesn’t seem to stop people from complaining. Even though what they’re asking for is unrealistic.

I simply…don’t want to :blush: I have more fun and can play even if my team isn’t with me if I go Hammond or Hog, even Dva is funner than dying alone on Orisa

maybe they were the wrong approaches…I can’t remember the last time I died to a widow…yet every time my team dies…bc they have bad positioning
