just to equal supports to tanks
but i dont think next hero is a support, someone mentioned to me in a thread i made in the past that there was an icon placeholder for a future tank. so all signs point for the next hero to be a tank and it was an animal hero… the icon looked like a monster turtle or something. seems like the tank role will ALWAYS BE 1 UP on the supports
see if i can find a source again…
(Oh here is a video source)
Tank hero is gonna be a KOOPA TROOPA confirmed shell strike dash with wall bounces
Imagining a tank hero turning into a blue shell from mario kart and just destroying everyone in its path sounds joyously chaotic
i wouldnt doubt that would be the case. sounds like a new type of hammond playstyle that will be fun for people who like that
not me personally tho, still mad that the devs decided to turn overwatch into a pinball game machine (with hammond) but hey… thats overwatch. its suppose to be WACKY and not competitive. people want it to be counter strike competitive too tho…
heh
Nah. Mauga doesn’t count because what he does is stand in the frontline menacingly going BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR for 10 minutes until he loses or wins. It’s the most degen gameplay out of all the heroes so far 
The game has to be balanced around comp tho but ya i like heroes that are fun to play that have a bit of hidden complexity to their toolkit. I dont really care who the next char is but So far theres not much skill involved with how one plays space ranger. I just have always enjoyed characters that have a deeper learning pool where their weaknesses are apparent and its all about learning how to play good even tho you know you have a soft spot. I mainly play support kiriko and i love playing with a dive doom especially because they dont usually have to be babysat where as a ball almost always does because they can be more easily countered. This isnt to say all ball players are like that but the mass majority of them are. I just really want a tank that isnt so tied down to one single play style and can warp it depending on the situation as well.
It was officially confirmed that will be a tank.
making doom a tank was kinda cheating. I still don’t count him as one especially with how useless he is.
Doom is only useless in the vast majority of the playerbase but hands down in comp most of my wins have been because of a Doom tank that new exactly when to pull out and get healed he is only useless in players hands that sit at the front line trying to block everything. I know a lot of players preferred his dps style more but i actually think he works better now as a tank. If you think hes useless then you have never played against or with one that knew what they were doing. Granted he does take a lot of mistakes to figure out how to play him properly but please never ever call Doom useless
we both know you would just get hacked and Flashbanged and then bursted. haha
maybe a mei wall to top it all off.
Yea, it will be Sombra reworked as a support so that she finally stop ruining our games.
You will balance the numbers of support and tanks and also dps but most importantly she will have her obnoxious kit reworked into oblivion.
I like dreaming
With 90% of the playerabse being terrible with him it doesn’t even matter if I am going to lose 1 out of 10 games against him. Same thing with ball.
It is nothing like rein who gets away with just hold shield and spam melee to be useful.
if they do rework her then maybe that mirror/crossover sombra overwatch agent playstyle (event from just last season or before…cant remember). i think she would need an extra heal tho… or something
Blue shell would definitely have to be an ultimate.
