No, I think that need to all fulfill different roles. Otherwise there’s gonna be no variety. The strongest dive tank will be the only dive tank. Reinhardt already killed orisa he can’t dare touch my Winston

You mean the stuff that happend during goats?
I wont ming going back to goats.
Lol, you still won’t see me playing him. I avoid Rein because he’s always helpless, and that’s still true. I like Sigma way more (watch people say that he escaped this patch’s nerfs like a bandit even though his barrier took the biggest hit btw).
Oh well, people should actually play this patch so we’ll see if everything stays the same.

i like that they gave rein more speed and 50% knockback resist (sounds pretty huge)
but yeah i do not agree with the 600 HP shield being on a 10 second cooldown
and since sig’s shield is weaker, shouldnt the delay between putting it up and removing it also be reduced a little as well?
overall this patch isnt too bad imo

Oh no. I’m not playing rein. I find him horrendously boring. Sucks that I can’t play orisa anymore tho!

orisa will probably still be good in bunker comps without, you know, completely taking over rein’s role like she’s currently doing
baptiste/zen or mercy/baptiste will be good in bunker since there are a lot less shields to worry about and junkrat and widow have less shields to worry about
Unpopular opinion, the bash shatter owwc patch was the height of goats, things actually died so aggro play was rewarded.
In a sense this patch is a return to that playstyle and I can’t wait.
600HP on a 10 second cooldown isn’t bunker. That’s Winston barrier level and Winston isn’t even a barrier-focused tank. They’re intentionally nuking her

Na it isnt, tanks are dieing to fast for that, and wiht 2 2 2 you get high dmg or CC dds up against your not so tanky tanks.

Right now, if you pick a different tank, I get my ult faster.
As it is right now, shield goes down in two seconds when focus fired. After this patch, it’ll go down in 1 second. That’s not bunker. Even Sombra can take out the shield by herself
Two damage heroes can take down a 900hp shield near instantly, imagine 600.

On the contrary; nobody except like six freaks actually enjoys playing Orisa so letting other tanks be viable is the best thing they can do for the role.
wow don’t go in my thread if you’re gonna bully me like that

No one ever wanted Orisa, I think thats what hes referring to
Pretty much. Nerf barrierwatch, but Reaper/Mei tank-melter combo goes unharmed. Guess DPS mains are some sacred cows you can’t even think about nerfing.

No, it’s not mind-blowing, it just goes to show DPS have some get-out-nerf-free card.

Honestly the less ShieldWatch the better. I’m tired of seeing the same blue-square comps in my games.

Honestly I’d be more than happy to see Dive back.
I might actually be able to start playing Tank again and not want to rip my hair out.
On the contrary I see a lot of people actually wanting to tank now.
No longer being forced to play Orisa or Sigma.
Rein is no longer a pinball.
Armor buffs are an indirect nerf to any pellet damage including reaper and tracer.
Dive tanks actually seem viable now.
I still want to see sniper, mei and reaper nerfs before im actually happy though.

you’re right, now that Reinhardt is one
Didn’t they lower the cooldown to 8 seconds?
