Tanks are a failed concept

No forcing the entire team to stay behind shields.

Nerf Burst Damage heroes and it won’t be necessary 24/7. Look at Double Shield. It was there for a reason.

@Ryzik-21826

No forcing the tank to stay in one place.

Don’t have to. <3

@Ryzik-21826

No forcing focus fire/CC on one hero.

Lower the amount of CC in the game.
Give Tanks more defensive capabilities, maybe lower their offensive as a trade-off. Just a thought.

Tanks are too team dependent for solo queue environment. The tanks as designed by Blizzard feel the best in organized play. Blizzard needs to do a better job of encouraging organized play via social tools and training players from within the client itself.

and content. we at least get events. TF2 does as well but paladins maybe once in a blue moon if ever

skins are also a different story

I’ll agree with events only, as we get more characters and maps in Paladins.

Tanks in Overwatch are a failed concept, simply put no one wants to play them.

Sir this is a balancing issue

I’m all for tanks that can actually tank without needing supports up their booch, allowing supports to be more utility based than healing, but your claims are from balancing issues, not the concept or design of tanking.

@Ryzik-21826

Just picking a tank heavily restricts the player. If you pick a tank expect all CC, all focus fire, all attention to be focused on you. This is the purpose of tanks. However, it also means that tank players have nearly zero freedom. You exist purely so the other classes don’t have to deal with all the BS in Overwatch. You are basically a masochist if you pick tanks.

@Ryzik-21826

Heroes that are balanced this way are always going to be a sponge for CC and focus fire. Yes you are tanking this for your team but it means that you don’t actually get to play the game.

@Ryzik-21826

Tanks shouldn’t force players to play in a particular way, they should just help control points and push past chokes. Beyond this tanks and all other heroes should have the freedom to be played how they want.

(This is also partially an issue with map designs. Most maps lack any decent natural cover and 2CP maps are simply bad)

No forcing the tank to stay in one place.

All balancing issues^^^

If Role Queue wasn’t in the game, we wouldn’t have a problem. The fact that “no-one” wants to play them means that it would have been better without Role Queue.

Remember GOATS?

there’s 2 reasons why i don’t want to play tank, i don’t want to tank for strangers and most of the tanks are kind of lame to me aesthetically
(i’m too edgy, i like edgy stuff)

if i get a team i can actually rely on and play around, tanks are actually pretty fun, a bit lame looking but fun.
