I finally made this video trying to show people how tanking really looks like.
Those were the videos I could find but I’m sure there’s a ton lot more of examples out there and this hasn’t changed for what we saw for OW2.
Eh… We get used to it
I mean I watched Space absolutely dominate as an Alpha Chad Rein player in those OW2 matches, I think they just realize most players, if they want to play tank, they don’t want to be a meat shield and want to actually engage the fight. (just from my perspective)
Yeah I mean if you expect to 1v6 on tank ur gonna get bodied. Like do you expect to be able to 1v6 on tank? Do you think that would be reasonable? These are all clips of people trying to 1v6.
God tank mains are insufferable.
I don’t think tanking is that bad, saying this as a tank player but removing 1 tank in ow 2 is questionable. Also notice how most of these clips are Rein and Winston, yeah just don’t play them without an offtank peel like Zarya or Dva.
Watch the ending of my video.
Footage from the same match.
Mag (enemy tank for Space) gets obliterated in 1 second.
He got sombra ulted, which bonked his health.
Some clips they get bubbled/nanoed and still get obliterated, so the offtank synergy doesn’t really help
I mean you can’t expect them to survive all the time, these are just clips. It barely happen in my game when I’m tanking and I’m high masters.
Exactly (20 characters)
Leading the push isn’t the same thing as trying to 1v6. Tanks are the spearhead of team comps and normally initiate fights first. I bet you’d also chastise tanks for sitting in the choke.
I don’t see the problem here.
I don’t chastise anyone, I play tank…
I play all three roles equally.
Tanks don’t have a ton of hp, but they do an absurd ammount of dmg.
your video are a bit hyperbole, which only happen 1 out of 50 occasions
if that video is happen alot there would be more video about it
i have 200 hours of tanking, i have experience something like that, but out of 200 hours gameplay it maybe i experience it less than 10 death
It was really fun listening to the announcers on that OW2 match talk about how tanks were dying EVEN FASTER than the current game during the match.
Really, was the highlight of my week.
I will be referring to this video going forward.
This - but it doesn’t change the fact that “kill the tank” will be the main strategem. I give it about year or so before they yield and we get a big announcement of going back to 6 v 6 format with weaker tanks. FWIW - I predicted 5 v 5 long before the first OW footage because Jeff K gushed about it so much during an interview, I knew they were headed that way.
It’s going to lead to “gimmeh best tank” and “tank diff” endlessly for losing teams. Yes, this will make people want to play “Brawlers”
Honestly I wouldn’t use that clip from ow2 to show how the tank experience will be. For one they’re still heavily rebalancing the game, and for another, there’s some good evidence that sombra in her current state in ow2 is actually just completely busted. That is, she’s an outlier. One that will likely see nerfs before the game launches, or shortly there afterwards.
I have played tank since 2016 and I have spent more than 3000 hours on many accounts, I achieved 4200 SR on my main. What i can say is this
The HP of the tanks should be like this.
Shield tanks: Rein, Winston, Orisa, Sigma. 275 Armor / 275 HP
Off tanks: Hog, Zarya, ball, Dva. 325 armor / 325 HP
Sigma, Winston, Orisa should have a 700 HP barrier with a 9 second cooldown. The barriers of the 3 should be equal to that of “Winston”. Sigma could have a triangle the size of Winston’s sphere and orisa could have a rectangle the same size as Winston’s bubble.
Shield-Tank / Off-Tank role should be separate in match-making. This way you make sure that every team would have a well designed Shield tank / a well designed off-tank. You wouldn’t see nonsense like ball / dva, Hog / Zarya, hog / hammond the favorite combo of trolls.
Finally the off-tank would have to have skills like ZARYA. If you mitigate or take care of your allies, your damage is temporarily increased. hog, dva, ball, they should have something like ZARYA and I repeat it with the incentive that your damage is temporarily increased.
As long as OW tanking is not like that. "RIP-TANKING"
Most of the tanks in current Overwatch are just fatter DPS.
