They are off-tanks… An off-tank is still a tank and a rather important one since they are the ones which are suppose to punish overextenders and flankers.
So, ye’h. The tanks are fine.

Well, or the better alternative to my argument is that fielding a Doomfist would actively prevent you from using more valuable OffTanking abilities.
You’d effectively be stuck with 3DPS comps.
Which might be fine, maybe, dunno.

Incidentally the “Flanks too much” thing is also why it’s problematic if Sombra was in the Healer role.
That’s why he would need a rework.
agree to disagree. They are not off tanks and they get a bonus for playing Off tank… if 2 people choose off tanks that really hurts the team makeup.
Or just leave him as-is, but cut down on his annoyance factor somehow.
Possibly then give him airwalkers doomfist RP rework
Makes him less “unfun” to play against, but a strong hero.

Well one I’ve seen that seems good is making is so that the distance you get knocked back is inversely proportional to the distance Doomfist has traveled with his Rocket Punch.
Also maybe make it so that if Doom is coming in from above you, that it pops up a Tracer/D.va bomb style visual warning.
It sounds like a good idea definitely, but honestly I’m going to have to go for airwalkers one. I like the idea of reducing the amount of “one shots” in the game.
Problem is, what happens if you mini charge? You throw them off to narnia xd
Little off topic… but Phara and that new extra damage to blast ratio… crazy… didnt hit me once… just shot at wall near me… and i died lol. So… shooting at a wall, not actually hitting a toon and dead.
That’s the fault of bad players then, and isn’t something that Blizzard should try to fix.
Dude… seriously… come on. That answer could be made to ANY situation… I said give it a think… i meant with the lump of coal 3 feet above your belt… not the one 3 inches below it…
D.Va is played to peel. That’s something a DPS doesn’t do. She also is meant to protect the team. She’s not a DPS, she’s a DPS in a DPS players hand, in a tank hand she’s a character that protects the team.
I just want tank to be like the other two roles, not unbalanced and up against the wall like it always is and also not changed drastically from the other two roles.
I feel like Zarya and D.Va should be in the tank since they peel and help keep your team alive.
Compared to Roadhog and Hammond.
Tbh, I wouldn’t expect this idea to happen any time soon anyways. Like maybe not for another 10-12 months.
I’m much more happy with this idea in the foreseeable future.
Still didn’t fix D.Va. We’ve had small defense matrix changes and they didn’t help her.
And also, Sigma doesn’t need buffs, he’s better than zarya and he’s becoming meta.
D.Va is officially the last picked tank in masters and 2nd to last pick in gm
I just feel that both Zarya and DVA are played to DPS, sure they peel, but DPS peels as well. Soldier? Snipers usually go find a place on their own, so not with the group. DVA shield is a self shield only… yes it projects about 2 meters out… but it lasts what? 4 seconds? 5? its range is terrible. Zarya has to place her shield on you, but rarely do they, again, they are offensive toons, so they should be categorized as Damage… i like the example the first guy posted, a 4th class or hybrids… but keep them out of the tank role.
Well, Tracer pulse bomb does 350 damage.
Can you imagine what would happen with a 350hp Sigma, 350hp Orisa, and 400hp Reinhardt?
Dive would be back in business.
I have another idea.
Let’s get rid of the true tanks and just have the bruiser category.
Main tank is really unpopular. Even among tanks, it’s mostly a role that you do because you have to. Most tanks want to play off tank. And main tanks, honestly, feel a little bit BS to play into. They have excessive advantages.
The main tanks could be reworked into bruisers pretty easily.
Yes! it’s gaining traction! Here’s it included in a Full rework of Doomfist, if you wanna see it.
