I found out why tank isnt fun

and THIS ladies and gentelman is the problem :slight_smile:

No it’s actually not, you play a game to enjoy yourself. Overwatch for tank players is now treated like a JOB. You pick who you HAVE to, not who you enjoy playing. Dont be surprised as queue times increase

In fairness, less than half the support cast is playable right now, but it’s also a result of 5v5. :joy:

How dare the enemy team try not to let a doomfist do whatever he wants?

What do you expect? You have an AOE stun on a 4 second CD which is often empowered as well as multiple ways of escaping and personal survivability passive/healing on ult. Your hero is one of the worst experiences to go against in the entire game, so obviously people will try to mitigate your ability to get things done.

So you play an overpowered raid boss hero and have to be good at more than one of them to continue to play this role…? Seems like a fair trade off.

ā€œI didnt feel like itā€ just doens’t help any argument about this.

It doesn’t matter if tanks have 400 hp or 1000. Hard countering is the issue. It’s part of the OW core design that became a massive flaw in OW2, amplified 10x by removing one tank per team.

Zarya beats dva, rein beats Zarya, ram beats rein. Swap swap swap swap never play who you want to, only who you have to. Anti fun

You can’t blame tank players for saying, ā€œenough, I just want to play the tank of my choiceā€ it sheds a light on how huge of a mistake 5v5 is

That’s just a Doomfist thing. If you don’t have multiple people swap to counter him, he will absolutely run the match. He’s op af right now, so it’s not really optional.

Tank players have to realise that their hero is usually super unfun and garbage to play against if not counterpicked

all that I have to say, and above a lot of good comments. Is that, OW now is the worst that i ever played. It is now worse than Gears, and that is saying a lot. OW 1 launch was the best in gaming industry.

The comments anow re fussing over a few small points. The bigger picture, is that OWL was cancelled. Devs were walked out the door, because of loss of cash flow.

Nothing said here will do anything to address that. Nothing.

The core problem is that the Devs are driving the game to death, and by the time that everyone comes to reality about this, it will be too late. The servers will be offline.

This game will never die, because it has zero competition. it constantly sits at 27-30k on steam on any given day with only the addicts left and battle pass whales that see OW as a dressup game . OW is just like DBD, they may lose (a lot) of players but it’ll never die because they caught lightening in a bottle & any games that tried to compete basically failed

Tank isn’t fun because ā€œtechnicallyā€ you cant win if their dps is better than yours. You have to hope for one of the silly variables like a c9.

Tank diff is a meme. Dps control their own destiny.

If they changed elims to final blows on the scoreboard it would be pretty hard to cry tank diff based on stats.

Yep , I play dva mostly and get a good battle and win the entire team switches to beams. Zary, echo, sym, Moira I don’t have too much trouble with a moira but sym and zary are cancer beams.

This is why I have said they are pushing tanks in the wrong direction time and time again. The need to counterswap only increases with tanks power levels. Nerf tanks hp and survivability while giving them skilled counterplay to incoming damage through their abilities. Easier they can be 1v1ed the more likely people will play what they want instead of needing to counter. Tank is only unfun because on release ow2 gigga buffed tanks and havent stop increasing their health pools and survivability.
