Sorry to say but this game was made for dive and rush comps mainly.
These poke comps with hitscans like widow ashe are just boring and unfun. Nothing you can do as tank (unless pre-nerf DVA), might as well delete tank role its so boring to play.
Sorry to say but dive or rush will be the only fun comps, with dive being the most high skilled and most fun.
Remember that dive was what made overwatch fun, famous and popular at its peak. Just stick to it and create heroes around it instead of against it (moira brig kiriko bap - all boring lower skill “hero does the work for you” type heroes actually damage the game)
Deadlock should be a good example of a game that is hard to get into and already doing better than overwatch on steam, maybe stop catering to casuals and focus on what makes overwatch fun, interesting and replayable
The problem with this is that they would need to make the supports dive heroes as well and that would make DPS players sad.

Isn’t Kiriko straight up this? Genuine question, I don’t really know much about that character

The community really likes dive, and I think that’s funny. In fact, and I recognize that I’m the minority here, I think mobility is overrated in games. Lately people have been obsessed with zipping and zooming around maps and I just think “what happened to the actual blow for blow gameplay that we used to enjoy?”

She is certainly capable of it. And she is also one of the most hated heroes in the game despite her poor performance. That’s more or less what I am talking about.

There are 0 “supports” in 2024, atp these heroes can duel every dps. Also what you said is wrong because there are already supports with insane mobility
I feel as if your first sentence proves my sentence correct, actually. But that is neither here nor there. I am down with the idea. I love me some supports disgracing DPS players!

It’s popular because it’s tyranny of the majority. Dive’s fun has always come at the expense of 1 or 2 players per team. But because there’s more people playing dive in dive than being dive targets, it’s artificially always going to be popular.
It’s also claimed to be more fun to watch so that probably plays a part.
I don’t even think it’s the tyranny of the majority. It’s more of the tyranny of the vocal population.
Just look at the dps role, besides genji, most popular heroes are actually ranged/hitscans (Cassidy, Widow, Hanzo, Soldier and Ashe). Even genji, his popularity is probably more of his character design as being a cyber ninja instead of being “dive”. Or you see wrecking ball players are extremely vocal online, yet it’s one of the least popular hero. Or in OW1, I remeber hog/zarya had much higher pick rate than any of those dive tanks for a long time.
I genuinely think the people who main dive heroes are lot more vocal, and ofc they are going to claim their heores are the most fun/fair ones.
