CoD Halo CS GO Valorant R6S BattleField … are way better in pure fps game.

This is incredibly subjective to the individual. It completely omits an entire sub-class from being played. There is equal diversity in the main tank and off tank rosters. The most unique main tank being ball and the most unique off tank being sigma.
Yet to see any proof of this claim. The numbers for each are very similar (source - qp all ranks this month from overbuff) it’s around 55% off 45% main, though it is likely closer to a 60 40 split
This is an opinion, not fact. In my opinion the game would be harder to balance as every map in the game is built around getting through chokes and having tanks defend squishies. Doing this removes all structure from team fights and engagements and would require drastic rebalancing to the maps and the support role.
This is the worst state the game has ever been in for me and many others. Glad some people are enjoying it but ultimately there are better pure FPS than overwatch, and I’m not sticking around for this direction.

By pushing the game more towards a higher FPS focus, you’re literally killing off your own game
As of 8:30 am there are only 10k people on Twitch watching OW; compared to the 4x higher Valorant at 42k or even CoD at 46k
They’re killing their game for views and ad money, that isn’t there because other actual games built from the ground up to be focused FPS games already exist and already rake it in.
If people wanted more FPS focused games, there’s clearly a much stronger market out there for that existing.

Whn you say off tanks you mean Zarya and Hog right? Because DVA, Winston and Sigma are dead.
How is Zarya Hog and maybe Ball diverse though?

The maps are not designed around a lack of shields. They lack a of lot of cover. We really need one main tank one off tank.

Has OP said he’d be against a D.Va buff? Certainly people seem to find D.Va fun, otherwise I wouldn’t see her so much in QP. 
Why would anyone want to support such a trash meta?
They’re gonna focus on making main tanks more like off tanks. This is the best approach imo. The game is so much fun without as many shields.
Has OP said he’d be in favor of a DVA buff though?
Anyway, that is literally aside the point since DVA is not the only off tank worth mentioning but you also have other tanks in general like Winston, Sigma, Orisa, Ball and Reinh who should not be considered plain trash specially when the tank role is by far the LEAST played out of the 3.
And yes, I find DVA to be one of the most fun characters of the entire game. That is just personal opinion, though. Besides I don’t play tank that often.
Not directly, but he implied he’s in favour of D.va by talking about how off-tanks are the way forward without then slipping in a “P.S. Screw D.Va, hate that loser!” at the end.
Again? OW didnt favor DPS when it was new. All DPS is the only way OW can be fixed now, though.
But enough of this Off-Tank(and Off-Healer) term. You mean DPS. Hog & Hammond are not Tanks, they were never defenders. They were always damage dealers.
Thats your opinion, dont push your opinion on everyone else. I for one do not like to go against roadhog, hes annoying.
If i wanted to play an FPS ill just go play Rainbow six seige. All the characters are diverse on there soooo…
dva would like a word with you

yes but Roadhog is a bit too much
Aight, let’s see what reasons you have
Subjective, Main tanks are also diverse
Rein has always had the highest pickrate of any tank
No, now oyu have to worry about extremely powerful off tank comps such as Hog Zarya. Double Shield just happened to be the best comp, a powerful and best off tank comp wouldn’t change anything.
Also, Sigma isn’t a main tank.
Maybe you’re right, the game would be easier to balance because you’re literally making half the tanks garbage and unplayable. lol
No proof other than subjective proof. I don’t know why I waited this long to say it, but your argument is awful and deserves no attention.
When all your ‘‘worries’’ like healers and real tanks are gone, you’ll whine how it’s boring and too much like other fpses. Mark my words.
I’d prefer to play a game with balanced main tanks, that’s what I dream of.
I don’t know where you get the notion that people prefer off tank, plenty of people like main tank.
I love main tank, but Blizzard loves their ‘balance’ patches too.
R6 is also not about total elimination. While it may seem like that cause that is generally the way it is played but, stalling out and exausting the time remaining is also a way to win.
But yes, the point about the variety of characters is correct. Each character has it’s own unique trait and the fact that they are not totally FPS is what attracts a wide variety players to the game. If Overwatch turns into an FPS, it will lose that charm and attraction.
Exactly. Also for those arguing about characters having unique abilities, characters in R6 and Valorant have unique abilities too. Overwatch might have a time travelling hero but R6 has the Lord himself, Tachanka
That will never happen
either reinhardt is meta, or orisa/sigma is meta. those are your main tank choices. Right now neither is meta so the game is alive again
