Emongg Zarya peeking a corner gets deleted before he can even react

Time: 3:59:48

While this doesn’t happen often, tanks shouldn’t die that fast while peeking from a corner. please tone the damage down a bit

damn i should’ve known
oh yeah, i see the arrow now :eyes:

If the whole enemy team shoots you at once, you should die that fast no matter who you are.

Also, Zarya is tied for squishiest tank, so that goes double for her. Tanks should be hard to take down when played well, not no matter what.

In this clip, how is Emongg not playing well? He peeked for half a second and was about to move back out of enemy team’s LOS. He’s the first in his team to arrive back and Flats (Reinhardt) was 5 meters behind him. The enemy is not pushing forward, and it’s a relatively safe position. I thought every low elo player firmly suggests to “hug corners / walls.” (which is correct btw, but it’s annoying how it’s used as a lazy counter argument) He did just that, and he exploded. All 400 HP gone in an instant. How is he “tanking” any damage when damage values are this high?

He didn’t have enough time to react to it, but in the clip, you can see that Emongg just planned to just peek for a bit, see what they have on cart, get a right click in, and then back out (you can see him backing out near the tail end of the second)

and it wasn’t even the whole enemy team shooting at once. From what I can see, it’s just Hanzo rein and zarya

“Damage isn’t a problem in this game”

Tank design is absolutely pathetic in this game. They are literally just fat dps that are instakilled if they don’t have a healer on them.

I think this is the most apt description for tanks I’ve seen on the forums lol. Except winston. Monkey used to be a balanced tank

Winston, rein and d.va used to be balanced tanks. D.va and Winston without a support can’t even take on a hanzo by themselves, and if rein, the big tank with a barrier, doesn’t play around corners he dies.

hanzos in my rank must be REALLY bad then, because i farm them on winston :eyes:
and yeah, i don’t really get the complaints about barriers, damage is REALLY high across the board, especially with the addition of echo
rein’s shield feels super flimsy now, it’s why i just can’t get myself to play him

Ye + self damage from the bubble in the corner.
Nothing new to see here folks, this could have happened in 2016 too.

He literally ignored the Hanzo who had LoS on him the entire time, so he got punished. Enemy Rein most likely had info when to Firestrike as well, both Hanzo and enemy Zarya could see Emongg.

I want to point out the real issue here … playing OW for almost 10h

I’ve always thought tanks should have around 1k hp and deal less damage. Tanks should feel powerful to play, but instead you feel weaker than any other role.

Tanks don’t need the damage they have, they need a way to survive without a support babysitting them 24/7.

Hell to the no. Stall is already a problem in this game, doing stuff like that to tanks would destroy the game for good.

You and this other guy here:

who also made a thread about how tanks should be juggernauts even without a healer seriously do not know what you’re asking for. As always with the OW community, you tunnel vision a problem preaching a “solution” that doesn’t take into account how it would affect the rest of the game.

Well he’s chatting and easily distracted from the game, very rookie of them.
