I can’t believe there are actually people agreeing with this awful tank patch. The fact that people are actually agreeing with it just shows they want to significantly lower the skill floor & ceiling of tanks, while simultaneously making them extremely dull to paly.
Tanks are literally useless in this, and if anything it’d actually be better of with them not being on the team because you’re literally just feeding enemy healers ult charge.
Like, here are the damage numbers:
D.va: For some reason they decided to half her damage twice, anyways, 36DPS with perfect tracking. And if she lands ALL headshots? Omg she’s doing about the same damage as current winston
Zarya: 0 charge she does 37.5 DPS, at 100 charge she does 85 DPS, this is with perfect tracking by the way once again.
Sigma: 36.5 DPS. I don’t even know if I need to say more here , especially since his projectiles are hard to land
Roadhog: 3.3 damage per pellet, 82.5 per shot. Would be better to have an empty slot than have him on your team.
Wrecking ball: 62.5 damage per second, 50 damage piledriver, 25 damage boop.
Reinhardt: 42.5 damage per swing
Winston: Meleeing will do more damage
Orisa: 66 damage per second
And with all this you need to consider:
Enemy healing (Bap, moira ana brig… actually literally any healer will make their damage literally useless)
ADAD spamming
This is NOT tanking, anyone who says this is tanking doesn’t understand as to what a tank is. A tank is supposed to be a THREAT, and make SPACE through threatening the enemy.
Now you might say “Oh these won’t go live!”, no they won’t, but we’ve seen in the past the devs have pushed some of these to live, and it might even be considered for OW2.
CLARIFICATION: This isn’t meant to be an attack against LemonKiwi, they are such a nice person, I just really dislike this change and the fact that so many people supported the change ticked me off a bit lol
To me it seemed the majority of people think the tank changes really spoil the patch. They are apparently altering some numbers, hopefully they’ll reduce the overall tank damage nerf, and fix zarya dva and winston.
At the very least… maybe this has helped a few people see that tanks being unkillable is not a good thing…
The community absolutely has gone insane, and content creators have been malding since 2017.
This patch made me even sadder than the Flats one, and that was one where Flats explicitly said he wanted to dumpster Orisa. I legitimately didn’t think it was possible. Fool me, I guess.
They shouldn’t nerf anyones damage at all except maybe hogs a little.
Again, this is NOT tanking, this is called being a bullet sponge. Tanks are SUPPOSED to be threatening. I just can’t get my head around the fact that I saw a post with a good amount of likes WANTING this tank EXP.
You’d think so… but apparently it’s done… the opposite?
I’ve seen so many people support this, it’s scary.
People WANT tank to be the most braindead role in the game.
You mean by picking zarya and bubbling them as they do their damage? or sig and putting a shield near them? or as winston and diving with them to give them a shield to go in and out of?
I mean I do not personally like it but it is sort of the answer to “Tanks should be more Tanky” so I appreciate that it was the ExC that finally can put that argument to bed. I for one am happy to have been part of the scientific process.
I think some people on these forums (I have names but am not allowed to mention them ) just want a tank to have 10,000 HP and stand on point for 30 minutes with a shield up. Anything less than that makes them not a tank.
