imagine 15% dps passive being too strong so blizzards logic is buff the dps passive lol.
I feel like this will be the nail in the coffin for overwatch. They have right royally made bad dps players into good players overnight with the hitbox buff and with the 15% passive there was pros saying tank feels terrible now and now i feel like there will be massive queue times in the next few weeks because the tank players that are left will just give up.
Its clear blizzard wants dps players to rank up and the rest of the roles can just get stuffed. This balance team is brainless i swear.

The DPS passive actively block healing, are you crazy? Its like breaking Rein shield and then telling that Rein “maybe you should learn to use your shield to block damage”.
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know pro MLG Yin was on the scene. You’re doing fine, in your opinion, so that’s just THE truth now. All other opinions are debunked.

It’s not blocking healing. My healing averages aren’t lower, and my healing per second continues unabated.
I’m getting out of games where I’m healing Rein in 2v1s and he’s winning those match-ups… technically it’s actually a 2v2. He barely loses that much health with active and attentive healing.
Not that healing will win games. Getting out of Rialto with 11k healing and 5k damage certainly didn’t win the game, but I definitely minimized how often Roadhog needed to TAB to reinforce his health. Before he switched to Sigma, I was at 6k healing and he only hit 2.5k.
It is not hard to heal. Despite what the passive may be doing, it is still easy to heal and to keep your team alive. Tanks included.
Clearly we need to press the button harder for more healing to come out.

I was a support with the 20% passive its not even worth healing the tanks cause it takes too much time away from healing dps.

Strangely my tanks and dps keep getting deleted even when i hard pocket them with the other support. I could end a game with 12k healing and still lose because i don’t have time to get picks that would help my team.
If you have a teammate that doesn’t have enough braincells, they get vaporised regardless of what you do.
But if you get smart temmates with inexperienced enemies you can easily keep them all up.
My issue with the passive is that it makes matches easily swing one way or another with nothing i can do.
If i’m playing out of my mind and healing as much as i can and then some, i’d like for it to actually make a difference in the game result.
The healing/damage was fine in season 8. It took actual skill to kill someone, it took tactics and target prioritisation to make progress. Now all you have to do is to get a dps that sprays bullets vaquely in the enemy’s direction and they die.
The game is either boringly easy or impossible.

20% reduced healing is a lot in this game where support heroes already have low hps. If the enemy team rocks an Ana with her anti nade and a Zen to boot, well… You can’t heal through that no matter how good you think you are.
These changes FORCES unnecessary and unwanted metas.
It also doesn’t help that if you (under normal circumstances) ask your support for heals, they either go toxic or report you for being toxic, because in their narrow, tunnel vision minds, they think they’re the best support players in the world and aren’t doing anything wrong and would instead blame their tank, no matter what.
Just like i see plenty of support players rushing in, ahead of the tank, thinking they’re playing call of duty, or support players who sit so far behind they can’t catch up with anyone who try to push the objectives.
Pot calling the kettle black, buddy.
Support players could do with a well designed tutorial as well.
Can’t wait to see another clip after this update where Reins shield gets destoyed and after that with zen debuff and bap window Rein got wiped out in 2 ms
Great!..
there will be some larger tank changes in the mid season patch
On the flip side should a tank be able to live through an entire teams focus fire through window while discorded?
Nah, but when a single dps can melt a heal pocketed tank in just a few seconds, something is wrong.
I’ve seen that happen, and that was on last monday with the 15% pasdive.

He should, but in 4 -10 seconds
not 2 ms - 2 sec
cause when your shield gets destroyed in 4 second and you`re dead 2 secs after that - that is wild 
Don’t worry, there always will be some unaware fools to pick tanks.

Oh look, they found me.
They didn’t buff it, they reverted the nerf, which is arguably even worse.
It’s been that way for years.
Honestly, this is more of a thing that would make supports quit. I don’t even really notice the difference, because, as a tank, I don’t heal outside of being Hog and the passive. I’m far more likely to grab a medpack before the self-heal kicks in. It’s the support that suffer more, cuase they heal less. Before they nerfed the DPS passive, my friend told me it was miserable having to heal tanks with 20% reduced healing, so they reduced it and now brought it back.
I myself have way different reason tied to DPS would make me quit the game, like refusing to switch when being countered and then saying “tank diff”.
