I guess 4 dps is back huh? With something even new?
Ok then.
I don’t even know if I’m against it or all for it. I don’t even care at this point.
Most of the tanks are now made like fat-dps that creates “space” for tiny dps.
Supports are going to die to Hanzo and Widow and will be blamed for not healing.
Even brig has no shield to protect herself against snipers. Well, ok I guess.
Basically, it speeds up the game out of the “Poke Phase” and directly into the “Brawl Phase” of a teamflight.
Where the Brawling part is the most fun.
I can agree with that. But is it really fun to be always just 1 shot with that arrow-out-of-nowhere or a Widow with a hitbox of a lamp post from Rialto?
And the most fun part of it - YOU will be blamed for that. There is an open map, no counter-picks against snipers and shields are now dead, but YOU, the support player will be blamed for standing somewhere in the middle or behind your team getting one-shot EVERY GODDAM TIME.
How eloquent. Tanks have just become DPS who aren’t really good at DPS, and tank worse then they used to. Maybe we can have Blizzard do the same to supports so no one has a true role anymore.
I think Snipers are gonna need to be looked at.
Or specifically, Hanzo is gonna need less capability to melt Barriers and Tanks.
Yeah sure, but Winston now is going to make his comeback as a main tank, and his health pool just got buffed. You’re going to see dive comps make a comeback, and brig believe it or not enables them, especially since repair pack just got even stronger.
I don’t think that this will effect the meta the way you think it will.
But for some reason every 3 games I see Widows either on my or enemy team stomping the QP games on the left and right.
Seems kinda spoopy with that dive idea, especially with Mercy’s 50 hp/s and now Moira’s 65 hp/s, Ana’s and Bap’s low mobility. I don’t think that Lucio + Brig might work but we’ll see.
You all brought this on yourselves, with all of the forum posts complaining how “boring” shields are to play against!
Enjoy!
I will no longer be queuing tank anymore now
Never said that DB should be sledgehammered. I always was FOR counterplay. Sombra, Junkrat could have been the answer, but NOOOO. We will destroy the whole purpose of the role and make them fat-dps now.
Na, the poke phase is way more fun for me.
There its all about a tanks skill to make sure you dont lose the first player.
Brawling on the other hand is boring as hell as there its mostly get cc spammed and die.
You won’t be queuing tank because you want to play the one of two heroes that the other tank didn’t instalock?
I won’t be queuing tank because I don’t like playing Rein or Zarya.
It’s a FPS ffs, if i wanted to play a melee character, I’d be playing a rogue in wow
Lol, why are you here? This is absolutely has nothing to do with RQ.
Stop blaming RQ for everything lol. RQ is for the better.
Or hog or ball? They’re both tanks
Orisa/Sigma is still viable, the health of the barriers matter less than the coverage vs snipers and you can add Baptiste to the mix now that Moira is trash. Orisa, Sigma, Mei, Reaper, Baptiste and Zenyata is strong as hell, you just need the 4 extra seconds from Ice Wall to recharge barriers and Immortality Field as a stop gap. The extra 3 seconds off of Kintetic Grasp is also a huge wild card on barrier upkeep. I don’t think 2xbarrier is going anywhere - it’s just kind of a new clock work comp with Mei/Baptiste as critical pieces.
My point is that brig + Winston’s healthpool just got buffed, and even tho mercy has a low 50HPS, brig and mercy work weirdly good together if you have a brig that’s good at using repair packs preemptively (right before a doomfist dives, a genji flanks, etc) because it gives them a higher margin for error to survive, meaning you’ll keep numbers advantage throughout the fight and you have a mercy to forgive you if not. Plus repair pack on friendly mercys who Rez is really nice because they’re less likely to die during and get off a successful Rez. AND repair pack just got buffed.
I know the healing output isn’t the best, but even without that they widen the margin for error for your team considerably, which is why I think they work so well together.
Play another game? 
this game has never been call of duty.
not all heroes are designed to “brawl” as overwatch has been into shields-heals-damage for the past 3 years.
CC creep is still in the game, but I will consider your strategy. You still need a whole team to coordinate to shut down just 2 of the enemy players, but ok tho.
I’d say the Role of Tanks is to be hard to kill, and to make safe zones of space for your teammates to stand.
Although Roadhog, for instance, zones by making it unsafe for the enemy.
Similar to how Widowmaker can zone.
