It is when ALL the DPS are added together. Ask yourself this questionā€¦

Who does Rein Counter in this meta?

This is the problem. dps mains think its fine to balance the game around supports being nothing but mobile health packs and tanks players mobile shields and ult charge for them.

We lost half of the tank player base to the doom, brig fiasco, now this. Just hod down right click. Fun gameplay much wow. Also have no impact past your shield and hope the dps behind do something. Great design.

The only Result of Forcing a 2/2/2 Role Selection would be a skyrocketing time to find a game. When i use the LFG-System for a 2/2/2 team the 2dps and 2supports slots are filled in seconds, but the 2 Tanks slotsā€¦ up to 5 Minutes until you find two tanks for your team. Now make the qeue for every match being played a forced 2/2/2 just wont work, cause there is way less people playing tank and support (obviously because there is less heroes).

U write about the actual LFG, if the only queue system (aside for arcade and custom games) become this RoleQ, the thing change dramatically.

How does this change anything? you need 2 players playing tank and as the experience with the LFG-System shows you need to wait minutes to get two tank players. Result: The Time to find a match will sykrocket.

As someone whoā€™s been transitioning into a tank main, the game still feels a lot better now than it did when Sombra and Doomfist were around all the time. Weā€™ll survive.

Absolutely not true. Orisa is quite good on a large number of KOTH maps, and also on attack on any payload map with long sight lines like Blizzardworld and Junkertown.

In what world was Sombra around all the time?

Contenders? Some scrims we have literally no way of verifying?

Yeah but unless you actually play in the pro scene that doesnt phase us at all.

More like 10-30 to find 2 that are not actually a dps mains or heal mains. Then you do get 2. One says please turn off role queue so we can do goats if needed. Then he insta locks widow soon as he can. Then other tank says screw it and goes dps as well.

You just wasted 25 min lfg and got the same damn thing you would have got if you just did solo queue. Infact you go solo queue after that match 2/2/2 and people that can play there roles and win. This is why i said screw lfg a long time ago.

Itā€™s almost like youā€™ll need to use teamwork to cover each others weaknesses while working with your strengths.

That brief period between the 0.65 hack buff and the 2 sec CD on interrupting hack nerf. Maybe you werenā€™t playing, but she was in at least every other game for me. She felt impossible to punish as a tank.

She peaked at 2% pickrate at that time with trend falling even before they nerfed her. Jeff was posting a top 10 most picked heroes for every tier conveniently at that time and Sombra was nowhere to be found on any of these lists.

Alright. Doesnā€™t change that she was in the majority of my matches, and felt awful to play against. Obviously the devs felt there was a problem since they nerfed her again.

Iā€™m tellinā€™ you now folks, Iā€™m one trickinā€™ Sombra after the patch and no one would stop me.

My tanks might got weaker, but Sombra would ruin everyone elseā€™s day to avenge them. You think Hack is strong? Too bad, wait until I insta lock her and leave voice chat, Iā€™m cominā€™ for blood!

so soldier being able to be played again is somehow killing off tanks?

what kind of logic is that and arenā€™t you tank mains a bit entitled

its okay to nerf dps but its not okay to nerf tanks when they are clearly too strong and made dps obsolete?

go play an mmo if you like tanks so much

If theyā€™d gone through the tanks individually and with some sense of logic, Iā€™d be fine with it. But this is like NERF ORISA, HAMMOND AND WINSTON FOR THE CRIMES OF REINHARDT, ZARYA AND D.VA!

ALSO BUFF ZARYA BECAUSE REASONS.
