Buffing the raid boss tanks more is going to put the game in another loop of bad tank balancing. Tanks have been so close to being balanced and you’re going to buff Sigma shield next patch? Sigma is the one hero ruining your game. One of the things that sounded good about this patch was bringing the squishes up in hp so they aren’t getting bullied by the raid boss tanks, but you’re buffing tanks as well. Dps getting the health regen is nice since supports are boosted by it.
The whole patch is to remove one shots, but they’re one of the best parts of your game. How the snipers feel Widow and Hanzo needing charge time, landing the one shot headshot. Not some cringe one shot body like from Valorant/ CSGO.
You’re only giving Cassidy 250hp, when his hitbox is bigger than other squishes? Cassidy should get 275hp if everyone is getting a 50hp increase.
I hope that reddit leak isn’t the actual patch notes. Your game will be dead in no time.
Its going to be another Sigma meta if most of this remains unchanged.
The easiest playstyle for most DPS is spam comp. Spam comp is what most tanks deal with poorly the most. With a 20% healing reduced for 2sec, this makes all the spam DPS even better and makes most tanks crappy.
Sigma is the only tanks which exceedingly high uptime to avoid being healing debuffed. As well as one of the only tanks that can even deal with spam damage.
Damage players reduce healing, have an easier time landing shots, and get a healing passive…and you’re still complaining about the easiest class to already land shots on before the patch…
Some Damage players genuinely want every other class to just exist to heal them, block them from taking damage, and roll over and die to them as quickly as possible and without being able to do anything about it in any circumstance.
Yay, lets dumb down the game so all the garbage cans that cant hit the broad side of a barn can feel what its like to land a shot WITHOUT getting any better at the game. WHAT A GREAT IDEA
Uhh… just because multiple people are talking about something, doesn’t mean it isn’t fake.
Remember the WoW expansion leaks before Blizzcon? Multiple streamers were talking about multiple leaks, and they all centered around how Aveloren was going to be the next expansion location, that we’d be dealing with Odyn as the bad guy, that there would be these massive revelations about the Titans…
AND THEN?
Chris Metzen gets on stage at Blizzcon and announces the War Within, which is NOT set in Aveloren, not even close.
All the leaks about the future expansion were fake. Literally all of them.
Until official patch notes are available, or at the very least a blog post talking about what changes are coming, don’t take the bait and rage against what could be made up by some troll wanting to stoke outrage.
You must have missed the part that the DPS passive now reduces the amount of healing done to damage targets.
We don’t know the percent yet, but this is a major nerf to the tanks. As most of their sustain comes from layered healing into their own defensive tools.
The problem here is that the armor and health increases pretty much negate that effect, and so without higher damage, Tanks will be able to sustain for even longer than they do now.
Tanks don’t need to be sustaining anymore than they already do. Especially if their breakpoints won’t change, and their defensive tools remain the same.
