Support changes: amazing. Fun. Interesting. Dps changes: varied and different.
Tank changes: Are you serious? Why bother playing tank. You cannot do anything. You are along for the ride. You cannot control the pace of the game.
These changes are supposed to be silly and fun. Well, the tank changes are not fun. I bet within a day or two, no one will queue for the tank role and the dps and support queues will be longer than 10 minutes.
Also this tourney is gonna be super boring with these changes
Love the tank changes. Play as a team and donāt flank. Hold the front line, command attention but unable to obliterate those in front of you, whilst not getting obliterated yourself.
Counter point, I am deeply enjoying these changes.
Respect your opinion and can see why some wouldnāt like this.
You do more damage as Winston with melee than left click. Zaryas left click feels like a tickle. Reins hammer is now a pool noodle. No one respects your space because you donāt have the damage to kill anyone that comes near you. All you are is a damage sponge, and that is literally the most boring thing in the world. All the big play abilities the tanks had is gone. If ow2 is anything like this, itāll be dead in a week
iām gonna go try dva, who got hit not only with the tank-wide 50% damage nerf, but her own special fork you in particular nerf of a further 50% on the base damage of her pellets. wish me luck.
this is why iāve always cringed whenever a content creator says ātanks are too strongā
I think the idea with D.vaās is that you can get crazy amounts of ult charge with her matrix, and just constantly counter ult any ults that come your way.
Good luck ever actually eating any ult, itās rare to begin with, now youāll be in the sky 90% of the time. Guess Zarya will have to use grav looking up lol
Thatās the same kind of feeling that Damage-role players have when the Tanks end up sitting on chokes or not pushing and making space. Welcome to their world.
Unless youāre putting up a barrier on a choke, most players are going to ignore the non-damaging and non-threatening Tanks in favor of going after other, more lethal sources.
Non-experimental D.va is one of the strongest in terms of damage per second, with infinite ammo and self-destruct. But that also requires her to be in your face gunning you down. Experimental D.va canāt even do that now, but at least she can fly and move as fast as Wrecking Ball now.
Soā¦in short, be there, be between enemies and your fragile teammates. No player agency elsewhere, just being there and try being there for as long as possible is enough.
Sounds like moba tank, imma go play one of those instead of playing this then.
