āDPS HAVE NO IMPACTā
Also DPS; >15 minute queues

Nor do we want to play Reinhwatch for the 100th time.
People say Reinh+Zarya is fun, my question is, if it is so fun how comes that even when they are not banned the games still has zero tanks?
Should not all the DPS and support mains who love Zarya + Reinh try to play them as well since it would aliviate the queue times somehow.
It is not as if Reinh Zarya have been meta since the game pretty much was realeased (with few exceptions)ā¦ lol
THIS!
I think zarya should not be the best DPS on the game.
And Iād rather play tanks that are tanks and not DPS that somehow ended on the tank roleā¦Heck I would be a tank main If it werenāt for the fact that only Reinh and Zarya are viable and when they are not, the rest of the tanks who took their place get nerfed.
Sigma was always vulnerable at close range, but Bunkers plays long range. Besides that the dev says they want tanks to be close range. Theyāre tanks, frontliners, not āattack from 30 miles awayā like Bunker was
I feel the same way. While Iām a support main, I didnāt mind flexing to main or off tank if the team needed one before 2-2-2. Orisa was my go-to main tank since Iām terrible with Rein and I felt more comfortable playing main tank with her (not anymore now that she has been nerfed into oblivion). Fully committing to tank especially main tank is way too much stress for me. I wouldnāt mind playing tank more if there were more main tank players in the game but almost everyone that queues for tank wants to play off tank, which is what Iām more comfortable playing because off tanks are usually good at peeling for teammates, which is my favorite part of playing off tank especially with D.va and Zarya. Before 2-2-2, I liked swapping to the role depending on the situation. Widow is picking off the supports and our Widow is unable to kill her? I go D.va and harass her all game until she switches. Bastion keeps mowing down the entire team and the current DPS are not doing their job of killing him? I go Sombra and hack and annoy him until he swaps off. I didnāt mind solo healing before 2-2-2 as well because I actually found it pretty fun to do as long as my team was protecting me and peeling for me, the tanks and DPS were doing their jobs well and properly, and they didnāt blame me for their deaths when they were trying to 1v6 the enemy team while Iām standing in the back trying not to get sniped by enemy Widow or solo high nooned/stunned+FTHed by flanking enemy McCree.
agreed 100% and in dive meta it was winston dva. I think too much of tank play devolves into exclusive synergy play.
You canāt even play most of them! Itās Rein or throw.
There is no reason to queue as tank when there are heroes that can completely ignore almost every tank, like Doomfist and Echo.

Who would have seen that adding a flying tank buster would do this?
Oh wait, we all did.

I think this thread would be better served hypothesizing how to make tanks fun (while maintaining balance), rather than mindlessly complaining.
Ultimately, the fact that tanks feel the least fun, and are the hardest to learn and play well, does not serve the game.
Itās the freaking BALANCE.
Reinhardt has so much of an advantage itās absolutely awful to play anything else, and even Reinhardt isnāt fun because the other tank can absolutely screw you over by not playing the also mandatory Zarya. And even then, what have you got, even ground? The other team is playing it too.
The tank class is not fun because 3/4 of it is trash, and everyoneās sick to death of the remaining 1/4, including the people who originally liked it. It is like pulling teeth to get a Reinhardt these days. Nobody wants to play him, even the people who used to like him.
FIX THE TANKS ALREADY.

well he technically has been right about a few things, that said, so have I and you donāt see me spamming wacky suggestions all over the place lol
As for the thread, Iām pretty sure something happened today because even though tank is the least popular role, there was an estimated queue time of 2 min yet I waited for about 10 as wellā¦ for tank ._. thatās just too odd
As for how to make tanks āmore funāā¦ the only real way is to have more tanks and then to educate the playerbase on the intricacies of tanking, personally Iāve seen a lot, a LOT, of youtubers who are support mains and they teach the ins and outs of their role head to toe but I havenāt seen or found a tank player who does the same thing for their role
Arguably tank is the hardest role and it requires a very different mindset than DPS (default fps) and support (default moba-esque healer), there are no games where you actually do what tanks do in overwatch and as such we need some guidance for people, hell, reinhardtās short sort of tells you how you should and shouldnāt play reinhardt
Aside from that tanks are fine really, we lack variety but all of them are effective at what they do with the exception of hog who is more of a tanky dps than anything
No. Reduce the CC. Reduce the booping. Make people able to actually play instead of watching a show where someone is getting pushed around and stunned all over the map.
After blizzard hardcore catfished the entire community into thinking Echo was a support for 2 yearsā¦but then sheās not, I pretty much gave up on this game and went back to Smite. Aināt nobody got time to deal with Blizzard, this company is an absolute clown fiesta. I still canāt get over Echoās meme of a release, she is such an unequivocally, stupid content drop it isnāt even funny, and so is Overwatch 2.
Iām just waiting for my ācheck the forum of a game I used to like Syndromeā to wear off in a couple months.

it has always been the case, healers are second in demand and almost on par with dps, tanks queues are instant.

The problem is when I JUST resigned myself to playing tank and support to save time, 5 minute queues for tank. Are you kidding me? Sorry, the game is legit dead, once open queue leaves, it is only going to get worse and then once anniversary happens people will pretend everything is fine again, and then we will repeat the cycle.
Nobody in their right mind will wait 5 minutes to play tank. 30 seconds? Cool. 5 minutes? Nah.
I guess people finally figured out, that you need damage to win anyway, and healers are still better equipped for playing deathmatch, than tanks - decent firepower, no giant hitboxes for enemy to shoot, and some health recovery as well.
Its been this way since the dawn of time.
Well Supports dont have the carry potential they had before barrier nerf.
Every match is based on what your team does not the support.
This is what you call unbalanced roles.
DPS are too strong that they can kill tanks easily, Supports cant outheal damage or provide enough sustain for a tank not to be killed.
You think supports are gonna play the type of games that they have no control over?
Of course not, im a heavy support main and i wanna play OW not spectate it, because thats all supports are good for.
If theyāre so
then why not do something constructive and pick them apart? Discuss/debate/argue?
I absolutely hate her, she pretty much is the final nail in Pharahs coffin. More control while flying, better DPS, can easily take down other Pharahs. Echo is just another terribly designed class that was not needed and needs major changes.
