And league usage doesn’t matter anymore because they use a banning system and the vast majority of players do not.
On live last week Rein was almost 40% of the tank picks, up 10% over his monthly pick-rate after being banned for a week (during which his pick-rate on live was 0%).
In the live game he’s very, very strong and people know it.
I hope Jeff understands that barriers in and of itself arent an issue. Having multiple of them on the field is just not fun. It extremely slows down the pace of the game and it makes certain heroes unviable.
…I wasn’t saying to lower ttk… I was saying to increase it (i.e. people live longer). nor was I saying to increase it without putting in mechanics to account for having 2 “main healers” and/or 2 barrier spam tanks.
Thats because tank changes sounded like they’re not coming for a bit, but support changes are coming in a few days.
I’d be interested in possible tank changes but I feel like they’ve been doing the role such a disservice that I’m better off not thinking about it till its here.
Yeah, honestly I’d prefer they go either with something like making all barrier tanks into main tanks, gutting their selfpeel, discord ignores barriers, and raising firepower.
Or go with that modified 1-3-2, and then just shower main tanks with buffs.
Sigma gets 700 less starting with 1500, and Rein got 400 less starting with 2000. Everyone saw it coming that Rein would be meta, including the devs themselves. It was on purpose.
So, your suggestion is to revert all of orisa’s changes, and dumpster sigma?
Then, after you’ve forced everyone into the hell that is a mandatory orisa/reinhardt double-barrier meta so oppressive they’ll feel it down in Bronze, your big plan to buff the off tanks is a series of buffs so inconsequential they wouldn’t feel them now?
