guys you didn’t get me, im against of nerfing sigma. i want to make every tank fun by itself and i think that nerfing a good tank to make others “betters” sucks.
some months ago sigma was a standar tank, nobody did complain about him, now because double shield is meta, he instantly became OP and we have to nerf him.
Why dont we buff tanks to make them fun to play instead of nerf sigma? because literally now he is OP just because orisa exist and nerfing him would not make other tanks more fun to play for people that plays DPS.
And i can understand that some people is piss because “he is to versatile” because CC+Shield+Grasp, but why dont we ask for all tanks have a passive or some way to be that versatile too instead of making sigma just as boring as other tanks?..
The Last of Us 2 wasnt really all that bad. I just finished it and the ending wasnt…good but definitely wasnt bad either. I have to only fault them on the glitchy gameplay. I was clipping !!!
i don’t get this community, they wanted a hard tank that requires skill and wanted them to be OP so that they could play a tank and have fun because the tank required skill finally, and when they got one they simply started whining about him instead.
I like him, but I do think he’s over the top. Matrix, moveable barrier, aoe autos from range, and a nuclear stun that only breaks on contact. I don’t think he’s op, his numbers are fine- he just does a lot. Like Ana.
like i genuinely don’t get it, sigma was supposed to make more dps players play tank, but if we look at the qeue timers it obviously didn’t do anything.
He kinda has been the whole time. His Grasp and Deploy is kinda bs. I’m glad they at least made his ult interruptible at least because it was kinda busted.
Because the devs continuously balance to make DPS strong. So if a tank comes out, its better than other tanks but still WEAK like a tank then DPS players don’t want to swap. He doesn’t murder players fast enough compared to Doom, Genji, Ashe, Widow, Mcree. DPS players only see ttk, not “wow this looks fun” its why Echo isn’t all that popular yet. Not fast enough.
I’d say he was OP when he first came out and he was definately a rein killer. Now with all his nerfs, he’s still versatile but wayyyyyyy more balanced.
Kinda sad because he could literally carry fights like no other tank when he first was introduced. He was so fun to play. Now, he’s meh ok.
A: the forums exaggerate everything. If someone is good they become “OP cancerous braindead hero! A must-pick you can’t win without.”
B: Heroes don’t exist in a vacuum, and this is a team game. Rein buffs will affect Zarya’s strength, flankers become better if Brig is nerfed, ect.
C: Public perception is everything at high ranks. If all GMs think Sym is weak, she won’t get much play, even if the few that do play her are rocking 75% WRs. This affects how the majority of the ladder sees them as well, as even in Bronze you can get yelled at for playing “off-meta character.”
Sigma has always been a strong choice, he was just overshadowed by a dominant Rein.
If “They” is dps players, yes they should not ask. Zarya is the closest they will ever get, devs hate the rest if they get threatening. Winston got barrier buffs, not taser or leap. Rein lost barrier hp, no more approach. Dva just… Dva’d. The only one left is Hog. And he’s just a fat dps, not a tank. He does not protect his teammates, he enables them. He’d fit FAR better labeled as a support (for proof, Blitzcrank).
If they wanted to make a tank for dps, it would NEED to be selfish. If for a tank player, Sigma is basically ~it~. Multiple means of protecting. Conversely, another Hog who had a gatling/mini-gun who focused on self-protection, self-healing, and self-steroids would be an almost INSTANT incentive for DPS to go play tank. In fact, I’d thoroughly recommend it be created.
If that helps explain why its now “wow, Sig is so op”.
