I mean, Brig and Mei are some of the least played and most unpopular heroes in the game, and Bap would never suffer from removing some elements of his equipment because he’s practically a DPS and he has a pretty “overloaded set of equipment”.
But yeah, 1-2-2 was another option.
This is from February 2020:
I’m thinking more like 1-2-2.
But these role passives are the type of thing they would need to do, to enable 1 Tank per team.
I.e. Tanks don’t get CCed to oblivion, Healers can survive without constant tank protection
1-3-2 just has too many DPS for a single tank to keep up with, and healers would be dogpiled by flankers.
The next experiment they should do is:
1-2-2 Solo Tank
Just take exactly what they did so far in 1-3-2, but reduce the number of DPS by one.
This won’t reduce the DPS queue times quite as much, but it should be 50% faster than 2-2-2. Which is still pretty good.
That said, I think they should make a couple edits to the formerly offtank main tanks:
All Tanks
Can bodyblock ultimates like EarthShatter, and Self Destruct, to protect teammates standing behind them.
All forms of CC and Status effects are reduced by 50% effect/duration.
Ultimate charge given to enemies is reduced by 50%.
Barrier Tanks
If BarrierTanks remain too dominant. They could buff up the damage dealt by non-barrier tanks, or reduce BarrierHP
