The amount of games where nobody is willing to play tank is ridiculous and i tried using the team finder but were always waiting for tanks to join. Playing tank used to be fun and im not sure why it isnt anymore but i just cant enjoy it.

Not trueā¦ I have loads of main tank friends i duo with
playing tank and support is like a chore, you HAVE to do it.
there arenāt enough supports and tanks to encourage players to play themā¦
Playing tanks is really fun, except when your DPS/healers arenāt as good as you. Then itās just a huge pain in the behind while the space youāre creating is going to waste. Most of the time Iād even prefer to play Rein/Zarya/D.va/Orisa but if I see a diamond Rein main pick a Widowmaker against high masters DPS players Iād just rather pick Sombra and practise harassing backline ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Damn right. Did it for 13 seasons, got nowhere, canāt be bothered now. Donāt wanna play Rein but heās the only viable pick so screw that.
This this would make things better?
Could end up with:
Widow, Hanzo, Mei, Roadhog, Brig, Zen
But compared to a lot of quickplay games Iāve been in, they would be a huge improvement.
No. Because itās still Reinhardt or lose.
My problem is I love playing tanks I just dont like playing overwatch at the moment
I noticed the same thing. There are plenty of DPS and usually support players, but tanks are hard to find. I think itās because the main tanks have very static (non-mobile, not really āplaymakingā) gameplay, and are also reliant on having a good team. Honestly, playing Orisa feels more like a chore than a game.
Well I got ideas for that too.
The only reason I donāt want to play tank anymore is because Iāve done it for so long AND am only good with D.Va. Other than that tank just doesnāt vibe with me.
Halt is too broken anyway. I eventually got fed up of that last season.
Buffing her Iām not sure would fundamentally change much anyway.
Itās rare with randoms that people will pick tank unless they have to, but I find that people are sometimes happy to do it as long as itās for a well-rounded team. For example, I love playing Winston but I canāt do it with a solo healer. I also enjoy Reinhardt, but not if Iām trying to block for two snipers and a Genji who wonāt use my shield. It pretty much depends on the rest of my team.
More variety is always nice.
Also Iāve held together some comp games before with 2 offtanks when I picked Mei. Well placed walls can block almost any ultimate.
Role enforcement is needed, throughout the game. And donāt give me this LFG excuse bullcrap.
I used to main D.va so I try not to anymore just so I can get good at something else.
But I really donāt like playing tank anymore because no one wants to play tank anymore. Being the only tank is like having a huge target on your forehead. If you donāt have a couple healers around keeping you going then youāre just focused at every fight and dead in 3 seconds.
Hey Tider, what do you think about that idea I posted above?
Originally I had been thinking using it for Comp games, but do you think it would help Quickplay games?
Not exactly reliable either. You get those situations sometimes where the enemy just make a worse comp than you.
Unless this weekās patch is a serious tank balance patch, Iāll say with plenty of confidence that Blizz just donāt give a damn about the state of Tanks. Itās gone on forever, theyāve never even acknowledged how broken and unreliable Orisa is; all we had about her is that Jeff doesnāt like her.
Dive is dead, and they released another dive Tank thatās added nothing to the game; so weāre still getting demands for more tanks.
Itās ridiculous by now.
It would be so easy to fix though.
- Disallow 3x Healer at hero select
- Brigitte
- Repairpack only heals for 75.
- Rally armor sits above shieldhealth.
- Inspire heals for more, but doesnāt self heal.
- Brig self heals whenever her shield is up.
I donāt think we need to see more Brig nerfs.
