All because the DPS role gets the biggest amount of love, it’s seriously unfair.
How many Supports were reworked into a DPS? Two
How many DPS were reworked into Tank or Support? Zero
Which role gets the hardest nerfs? Tanks for some reason.
Start buffing the bajeezus out of tanks, and don’t add a hero to the role with the biggest roster instead of the smallest one ever again.
Ehh supports not so much. They’re in a pretty good state.
Tanks though… oh my good aunt… Just help them before they die a decrepit slow death.
As long as they do something against double shield i’m okay with some buffs, like increasing armor protection (also a buff for brig). Some off tanks are still decent imo
This has been the case since triple tank meta lol blizzard has been made it clear they don’t give 2 sxxts about tanks/supports. It doesn’t surprise at this point, only voices that matter are dps and pro players everyone else can kick rocks, that’s how they feel.
It really shouldn’t be this way. The tank role is bottlenecking the queue times of other roles and even loosening the matchmaking because Tanks don’t get much love.
They’ve already said they have a tank patch in the works. Stop playing victim.
Which two? And Sym was never truly a support, nobody wants to play with a support that can’t heal. The devs quickly fixed that mistake.
Aaand here we go again with the ‘‘x’’ role flaming ‘‘x’’ role circle…
Stop with the clownery & scapegoats… Jeezus christ…
Tell me how’d you buff tanks then withOUT making shields or them unkillable. This is a game where enemies are suppose to get killed.
It’s why they’ve been trying to make this game go faster by not shooting shields all the game which it was before the shield nerfs happened.
Supports are in a much better state than tanks but I agree…tanks need a serious buff patch
Yeah at least you can play different supports.
No. Supports are not suffering. Tanks are.
In my opinion, tanks are the most powerful role. They dictate meta’s and whether games are won or not. On high ladder, tanks solo carry and are easier to climb with. They have just as high damage output as most of the dps and they have way more health too. Along with that, they have amazing utility and cc abilities

Because this game is balanced around DPS highlights for their precious OWL esports.
The rest of the playerbase is second priority.
you realize there was a 16 month period where there were no DPS viable right?
and that tanks and supports didn’t have their values changed, they just forced 222 so that DPS were played and dealt with the repercussions afterwards right?
Thats why mostly DPS are getting changes right now. If supports and tanks are getting anything right now, for the majority of them, the only thing likely to go their way are further nerfs
If you call stagnant and boring healthy. then yeah.
Uh, who’s the second one?
Lol what are they gonna do make Genji heal people
Still can’t even say that it’s the entire DPS role that gets love when a lot of them have been trash for years. It’s like 3-5 of them only.
Wasn’t GOATs a thing more so because of their synergy? Not because tanks and supports were overpowered as a whole.
supports ability to sustain while doing damage was bloated
tanks ability to absorb damage while dishing it out and mitigating it was bloated
I always remember it being so strong because there was so much to go through to get any kills, Bubbles, dms, shields, brig shield, high hp, then there was lots of healing depending on the other healers picked. It wasn’t that DPS were worse at getting kills, It was just that getting kills was nearly impossible against GOATs. And tanks have strong ults so they’d just charge them (while basically not dying) and then wipe everyone.
Re-work mei into a tank for starters. Segregate tank que into shield tank and non-shield tank so people can’t stack shields ever again.
Give them individual passives appropriate to their hero: (Eg rein gets increased damage -Berserk- when at or below 50% hp.
After that really just go from there
