Ok so he’s useless and does nothing. My guy, effective managers also understand the task their team is doing and decide the direction.
To show that he actually plays it and understands it.
A guy from DBD ended up playing a game on a stream. Got thrashed, was clearly incredibly inexperienced to the game. Major egg on face moment. Ruined their reputation.
No, tank shortages weren’t that bad from launch to 2019. A bit worse than other roles sure. But not major.
Also my guy this is a bigger problem now, in 5v5, where you play rock paper scissors. This problem is dramatically lessened in 6v6 as there will be multiple, valid, synergies.
How about you start listing the problems so we can talk about if it fixes what you bring up. Because you haven’t played it. we have. If something is an issue in theory, but isn’t an issue in practice. You won’t know but we will.
List the problems with 6v6. Go for it
More tank synergies work then ever at this point. Let’s take Rein for a moment.
Rein Ram is a wonderful frontline burst with good durability. They struggle with poke, but can sustain long pushes with constant melee damage.
Rein Zarya is the classic. I do not have to explain this one. It’s just fun. It lets you actually be aggressive on Rein.
Rein Mauga is actually pretty fun! It’s a much more aggressive version of Rein Ram, map dependent but nothing can go in for brawl as fast as Rein Mauga. They can find ways to survive as the other 4 catch up, though with a Lucio/Kiri comp it is an amazing time for Rush.
Rein Orisa isn’t as good as the other synergies, and is map dependent. But they work well for overall damage and map control negation. Orisa plays keep away and prolongs enemy pushes while Rein covers orisa’s cool down gaps (as she is something vulnerable), as well as supporting with a little poke and making prolonged pushes especially painful for the enemy.
And this isn’t to say that other Rein synergies don’t work either. They are still viable, just not quite as optimal. Like Junkerqueen Rein still works, is fun, but I find that Rein’s swing’s knockback can mess with JQ’s aim depending on her player’s mechanical skill. And unlike mauga, the bleed healing doesn’t transfer to Rein. It’s still a good synergy, just not optimal. Plenty winnable though.
I hate 5v5. Tanking is stressful, thankless, and doesn’t feel rewarding. You are constantly straddled with an inability to do anything unless your support comp allows it. You have little to no independence. It’s worse than 6v6 ever was including Brig launch.
I’d rather play Brig launch as a Rein main than now as literally anything.
