With the Removal of Mei’s Freeze, Cassidy’s Flashbang, Brigitte’s Shield-Bash and Doomfist’s Uppercut (but not Ana’s Sleep Dart for some reason), plus the amount of Tanks being Halved as is, adding another Tank back wouldn’t even bring CC back up to where it used to be.
Plus, having 2 Tanks means that the CC can be Split 50/50 between them anyway.
Even with the Minisucle Addition of 1 Tank’s Stuns, the Debuffs, Boops and Stuns Collectively Received would be Far Lower for each Tank.
My question to all the tank mains that so desperately want 6v6 back. Are y’all gonna main tank? Or are you just missing being fat dps in the off tank role?
Unless Reinhardt has 3K Health, Double Walking Speed, Charge can go Through Walls and Fly and Fire-Strikes deal 300 Damage each, Tanks wouldn’t be Playable.
Which is main tanking. Someone did a thread asking what you mained for those that want 6v6 back and a majority were off tanks. Going back to 6v6 doesn’t mean tanking gets better. It just means people go two off tanks most the time. Outside of double barrier it’s hard to get actual main tank mains to play that role. As of now in 5v5 all tanks are just tanks. Go back to 6v6 and majority instalock off tanks.
There’s still Off and Main Tanks though, but Mains suck because they can’t Push the Objective as well and Offs suck because they can’t protect their Team as well.
If you Force every Tank to be good at Everything, without Giving them the Necessary GIGA BUFFS, you don’t have Main or Off Tanks, you have Punching Bags.
I don’t think I’ve heard the terms used since ow2 released. Unless discussing ow1 of course.
But playing main tank in OW1 was like being a punching bag. See the issue. Main tanking is unfun no matter the game. The issue is why increase to 6v6 just to have half the tanks be ingnored by most because the majority of tanks want to play fat dps role?
