Those who usually queue for tank are the impatient types who will throw the game anyways.
Nobody likes tank diffs.
Role queue didn’t ruin OW. The tank role did.
Queue times are starting to rise for DPS and it’s worse for Support, aka the “can’t blame me, I’m just heals” role.
Nobody wants to bear the responsibility of being a tank.
It’s the most hated role of the trio in EVERY game. Not just OW or hero-whatever but in MMORPGs as well. Ask any WoW faithful how they been handling the tank drought.
They sucked in 6v6 too. Tank synergy was and will forever be cancerous. Reasons why I avoid open queue.
Interestingly enough, Open Queue is the only thing keeping me sane right now. There’s so much variety in each match that its felt refreshing.
Having 2 tanks around has made the game feel a little more stable and “safe” for me. I don’t get to have two tanks every game, but when I do, I’m just happy to have them. I don’t even care what combination of tanks gets played because the role is so strong and the game is so different compared to OW1 that synergy doesn’t matter as much like it did back then.
As soon as someone tries to point as tank synergies as a problem, that’s when you should start ignoring em, cause mfs just don’t know what they are talking about.
