Its her time to shine and it’s about time for a tank that was getting called F Tier, useless, you name it (anything other than OP) for 2 years. A Tank who was getting Buff requests constantly during Dive and GOATS.
Here’s the way I’ve seen this play out during every meta:
Tank goes into meta. They’re automatically flagged as OP by the forums. Forums demand nerfs to said tank.
Tank slips out of meta for any number of reasons, they’re now fine even if they weren’t directly nerfed, or changes like role lock, etc.
New Tank goes into the Meta forums blow things completely out of proportion calling for nerfs.
This has happened during each meta. I’ve been playing this game for since the 2nd round of Beta and nothing on this forum nor the old one has changed when it comes to metas and the tanks therein said meta.
What is the end result each time? The tanks are minorly nerfed (in cases like D.va and Zarya) but the main tanks themselves generally stay the same (Rein didn’t change at all for GOATS except for the overall armor nerf, Winston didn’t change for Dive.) and here we are with people wanting Rein and Winston back in the meta again.
