RIP the tank roster.
TL;DR : Tank role is bad rn
Edit: another tweet, have fun with this :*)
Edit2&3&4: More Tweets (thank Motz <3)
Blizzard: Hammond is fun? I can fix that.
well yea it has been obvious, I have been saying this since october tanks were never strong people were just having a honeymoon phase with winston being useable
What honestly happened to the tank lineup.
When I left things were like⌠decent. Wtf did I miss to where theyâre all just garbage now?
Pretty much. I have another tweet Iâm going to put 1 second.
Theyâve been systematically dismantling whoever is meta without really fixing anything.
Hog/Hammond/Zarya/Rein are mostly fine.
Devs just refuse to solve DoubleBarrier issues at close range, and keep nerfing it at medium range.
Which means Orisa and Sigma have weak barriers.
And Winston and D.va canât get kills at close range (or survive through all the CC).
The devs keep refusing to nerf hitscans and the major source of tank busting, all the while nerfing the tanks that have the only realistic chance at fighting against hitscans.
Why am I not surprised that hitscans still dominate the gameâŚ
Crazy how sht a game can get when you try to turn it into a strictly FPS environment.
In other news, Buff Doomfist.
Yep. Tanks suck right now. Itâs just which ones suck the least.
Iâd say the issue isnât the FPS mechanics.
Itâs the AntiDive stuff on Brig/Sig/Bap/Orisa, which is preventing Orisa and Sigma from having Barriers that are worthwhile in SoloBarrier comps.
Also knockbacks that arenât from Doom or Tanks, are pretty ridiculous since early 2019.
Itâs their âsoft-counterâ new policy for recently designed heroes.
So in order for Sigma not be hard countered in close range, they gave him Accretion that can stun, but on a long CD, so it softens his weakness.
DPS main are licking there lips knowing that eventually theyâll get a buff cause thats all they geteven though all they deserve is nerfs right now
The best thing about it all now is they have just made it so DPS player will take even longer to get game because alot of Tank main will leave the game or just switch from tanking
Unless that is they made these changes to suit DPS mains because they think if they nerf shield tanks & make DPS off tanks stronger theyâll get more DPS player to tanking.
So once again DPS main have ruined the game
Itâs mostly just Brig/Sig thatâs the issue there.
The âeverything hybridâ heroes.
Damage
SelfHeals
Barrier
Stuns
Knockbacks
Really strong Ults
What about just removing the boop from Whip Shot and changing Accretionâs stun for a minor boop instead?
Would work somewhat.
But you still gotta deal with that 70hps heal through barriers/matrix, shieldbash, immorality field, and boops that launch players to the other side of the objective.
So you want to be able to resist knockbacks again to travel less farther?
Yup. Except for knockbacks delivered by Doom, Hammond, Rein, D.va, Winston.
What knockback does Rein apply?
When he charges someone and hit others and they get booped?
You see, I am a DPS main. But I donât play the strongest DPS (Hitscans, Tracer, Echo) and as such I am usually forced to flex dps. That being said, I found tank role extremely fun to play when I am bored with Bastion and Doomfist. As such I found quite a bit of fun from Ball and Orisa.
The problem is, is that the Developers have been on a mission to seemingly nerf anything that isnât Hitscan dps. For example, Ashe being played in Double Shield should NOT have happened. And even when DS was gone, Ashe was still being played, more often I should note. Instead of Ashe being nerfed even while sheâs been insanely powerful, sheâs gotten small number changes.
Also a problem is Sigma bottlenecking the tank Roster by doing Main Tank, Off tank, and DPS and they have yet to rework him.
