Pinball machine meta

I love when literally every single one of my GM games is just both of the tanks in a pinball machine.

queen knife pulls me in, Brig whips me out, Junk concs me, land in their backline, get conced again, coach gunned, daggered, whipshotted, conced back into my team, daggered into their team, whipshotted out, slept, conced, whipshotted, antid, daggered, coached gunned, whippshotted, conced, Die

Pinball meta made me think wrecking ball but reading the rest makes me agree.

Been knocked around so much recently especially with queen back in meta. The tank knockback nerf made this quite bad.

Why does queen retain the knife pull buff she got when it was meant for the higher tank knockback resistance? It’s like they just forgot they added that

Does this actually happen? I am only a masters pleb on tank at the moment and I am yet to go t through this pinball experience

My tanks in order for most played are Dva, Doom and then Queen, who all should be prone to boops

These all tend to be the less affected tanks because they all have some form of mobility to mitigate it OR they can boop the enemy in return which will lessen the affect on yourself. The tanks most affected are things like: Reinhardt, Mauga, Ram, Hog, Sig, and Zarya. You’re basically forced into playing Queen, Orisa, Doom, Or D.Va

I can’t imagine how annoying playing tank is right now, but don’t forget they justified the tank Boop resistance reduction because of Junos rings.

Supports needing a compensation because they can’t keep tanks out of their faces shouldn’t mean that junkrat and queen and whatever else gets to permanently cc tanks.

Remember what the devs said? “more player agency”, “toned down CC”, “5v5 simplifies things”, “less counterswapping”, etc etc. The reality is the devs took all the worst aspects of old Overwatch and amplified them in Overwatch 2. The format is trash, the matchmaker is trash, the anti-cheat is trash, the ranked system is trash, the new game modes are trash or mid at best, low quality garbaggio designed with one purpose: to sell skins and battle passes. No wonder the game is bad when that Jared guy openly said in an interview that he doesn’t trust the rank system made by Team 4. The devs don’t even play their own game unless it’s for strict work purposes, you can’t make a good game with such a team. The only talent Blizzard still has are the artists and a few devs that are surrounded by incompetence.
