People discovering ram is strong and I’m instantly bored. For the love of god, genuinely nuke this braindead style of tank design where it’s just infinite sustain cooldown rotatiing slop and a button you press to just become effectively immortal.
Nemesis being an 8 SECOND COOLDOWN is a complete joke, especially when it’s arguably way stronger than fortify which has a like 13 second cooldown.
And before you say it no, not every tank is some infinite sustain braindead cooldown rotating ape hero. Not every tank gets a button they can press to instantly get 300 ARMOR every 8 seconds that also gives them access to an infinite duration 75% dmg reducing block that also then stacks on said 300 armor.
And a shield (that you have no chance of breaking) that literally lasts HALF the duration of the “I never die” button’s cooldown.
And to wrap it up in a little bow, a toddler playing OW2 on an etch a sketch could play the hero to masters minimum.
Cannot be overstated how cancer tank designs like this are. Effectively immortal characters that you have no choice but to ignore because you literally don’t have a chance at killing them is BAD DESIGN. It is the very definition of unengaging.

I thought “just hack’em” was a solution here?
Oh wait… nobody gets hacked after hero bans. Well - folks got what they asked for.

Hack wouldn’t ever do anything anyway even if she wasn’t banned (which she pretty much almost never is in my elo), it lasts the blink of an eye.

this game is some weird hybrid of what it used to be. heroes designed for 5v5 rq badly adjusted for 6v6 oq but 5v5 still has the giga tank problem. no one wins lol
It’s not even like every tank. There’s just this select few that don’t have a weakness.
If ram’s nemesis is on cooldown, cool he has a shield that lasts half the duration of the nemesis cooldown. If the shield is on cooldown, cool he has nemesis form which lasts over half of the duration of the shield cooldown.
Just mindless infinite sustain rotating.

5v5 tank design in a nutshell

I mean it would be fun to play other heroes
But then you pick like… Rein, and all you are is free Railgun charge for Sojourn, or target practice for Freja
At least Ram can survive the onslaught of broken DPS

It’s bad with every tank. They take too long to kill.
ive seen threads on rammatra lately. never thought of him as overpowered really. his ULT i really hate tho. some games seems like he has it a lot which means yea someone is feeding on him (probably soldier/bastion)

What is hack supposed to do to him?
And the damn field feels like a huge root not slow.
he absolutely is. His cooldowns are so low, which makes him effectively immortal with no windows of opportunity to actually take advantage of his cooldowns being… on cooldown.
There’s no reason that an ability that instantly gives you 300 armor and access to an infinite duration 75% dmg reduction block (that stacks with the armor) should be on an 8 second cooldown… especially when his other defensive ability, his shield, lasts HALF of that duration so it’s so braindead easy to do the cooldown rotation.

no wonder i have been noticing him a lot more lately. never thought about him really, i thought maybe people were having a robot fetish all of a sudden
I love Ram, he was one of my favorite tanks when I first started and he’s been in literally all 20 games I’ve played today. I really have no faith in the Overwatch balance team to actually fix anything, Blizzard can improve all it wants but so long as they still are mediocre in balance they will still be bad.

It’s funny to me how characters that people used to claim laud as being balanced or an underpowered darling a few weeks ago is suddenly an absolute pariah the next.
no one was claiming ram to be balanced or “underpowered” unless they are a drunkard.
enjoy rivles seeing jean in every game cause she op and broken what yiu goign to play when bored her in every game
Jean is literal dog water LMFAO. she’s a worse hela.
I dunno. I recall him being one of either mediocre or one of the least-used Tanks at high ranks.
clearly a bronze player then so that this chat done
