Good news, OP! In OW2, DM has 3 whole seconds of uptime! Three! That’s almost as much as she had when OW launched! Now, instead of dying in 1 second, your going to die in 1 and a half seconds!
…
Oh. I forgot. You’ll be the only tank. So, instead, you’ll die in .5 seconds.

Strange thing, queuing for RQ comp this morning, you can use priority pass for (faster) tanking! Crazy. 
Perhaps the people heard the news and want to play tankduo as long as it lasts? 
I mean one of the highest damage dealing player being out aka another tank means, that you don’t take so much damage.
Don’t worry ow2 launch date is like 5 years away

Feeding. Switch to shields.
Well if they make them about 1.5x stronger + there’ll be less competition for the Supports attention 
As someone who mainly solo tanks for people who prefer Damage/Support I’m not gonna get slapped about by the inevitable Rein/Zarya duo anymore. Shall have to see how it all goes but I’m quietly optimistic

I wasnt actually feeding, i was on point contesting objective
Hopefully the range will be buffed to 15 meters or something. And maybe her damage will be buffed as well
Diva needs to work with shield tank, otherwise she is just burden to supports. I am support main, and every time I have Diva in team without Rein, I just know that 90% of the time, I will be pumping all my heal into her butt.

Funny thing was,my other tank was throwing because i was playing dva
They played zarya and didnt bubble a single teammate
My first death was only because i was resetting, it was an environmental self kill. As I was the last one alive.
They seem to be really going to making tanks a bigger DPS rather than a tank though. I was expecting that with the 1 tank mode they would at least revert barriers a bit but looking at the Rein gameplay I noticed he have 1100 HP shield (against the current 1600)
i thought it was 1200
Maybe it is and I’m not remembering it correctly. But saddens me that all tanks are going the Roadhog route.
I just have to 
I love that scream

Yeh they mentioned a while ago they were looking at toning down barriers and having the Tanks make space with their damage/abilities/hp rather than be shieldbots. It kinda fits in with the idea that Rein’s shield is mainly for him to get into hammer range and less sustained damage with only one Tank to break his shield. Tbh rein/winston/sigma are probably the easiest to make work. The challenging ones are Dva/Orisa/Hog/Zarya they kinda rely on their high health and high single target damage to force back the enemy, but currently that’s just to buy time for the main tank CD/shield regen… going from the current main+off tank dichotomy to a single one alongside the hero changes will be quite a lurch. Even if they hypothetically have everything perfectly balanced, it’s gonna be chaos as people learn to do the things. I’m excited 
tanking isnt popular and needs changes
Because we cant tank, we get shredded
