Flats (T500 Main Tank) [OW Team] Suggested Changes

Sassy AndyB!!!

How are you!

Also, could these changes go on a “fake experimental” or something?

Like a community created card?

What an interesting thought

Thank you for saying it

People are taking these way too seriously like he was trying to literally balance the game

Just make sure to not let anyone from OWL get even close to the suggestions. We all saw how that horrorshow turned out the last time.

Either get people whose livelyhood dosnt depend on certain characters being broken.
OR
Just get whoever created the April fools patch and tell him/her to do something like that again.

This would give distinction between a card intended to go to live made by the devs vs a community made, let’s try it out, kind of deal.

Deal 100% would be down for that

Everyone loses their extra 25 hp :slight_smile:

I mean it’s not like his serious balance takes are much better.

Which is what makes it genuinely difficult to know if these are joke ideas, or probably just bad ideas.

That could be said for 90% of the community

Well, my main perspective on Flats is that he’s unhappy unless specific Tanks are meta, notably Rein/Winston.

And that he’s perfectly fine dumpstering tanks like Roadhog or Orisa to get there.

And generally he leans towards the “Tanks should be designed like they come from a MOBA” perspective.

As the beneficiary of perhaps one of the best tank duos outside of pros. He enjoys levels of Tank synergy that barely any of the playerbase gets.

And generally seems pretty indifferent towards fixing queue times. (If it’s not a problem for Tanks, it’s not a problem, right?)

Additionally, with the loss of a Tank duo partner with Emongg, and Tanks becoming more popular. He could essentially be losing a large portion of his “streamer marketshare”.

Only the ones with CC, on-demand mobility and a 300 damage secondary fire :o

That sums up 90% of the community. There’s 3 main tanks (not counting ball), rein Winston and Orisa. We’ve seen what happens when Orisa is meta and people HATED it. People like Winston rein metas because the game is faster and opens up more

They also should’ve given Sym a longer range beam instead of more hp

Anyone who works on this game- do not give these horribly biased and halfbaked ideas the time of day.

Always thought that her Orbs should count towards charging up her primary fire.

Not a single idea in that list makes any sense nor is addressing an issue.

There’s a whole list of qol changes she needs if we’re being honest

To be fair, the “committee” that was choosing the changes and vetoing good ideas had 3 OWL players (Space, Soon & SBB), and 6 non-OWL players. Good ideas brought forward by OWL players not on the committee were shot down by the non-OWL people.

Exciting news! Thanks for sharing!
