Because they’re just balancing around OWL and what makes OWL the most appealing to watch.
People have been complaining a lot about watching GOATS in OWL, so they’re trying to get rid of GOATS to help with viewership. GOATS is a meta 99% of players don’t use or play as effectively as OWL teams. But that doesn’t matter.
The rest of the playerbase is second priority.
Tanks are still really strong. I mean, a team with no tanks is still a bad joke. And Orisa is just the flavor of the moment.
I am seriously surprised by the amount of tank Mains in the Top 10 players in the world! 
(check it in your client!)
But, yeah, tanks are crap, that explains it all! 
Oh look who it is,
Pioneer of the crusade against tanks for what has been for how long now Mit?
6 months?
Please, stop spreading misinformation.
Tanks APART from Orisa are the weakest they’ve EVER been.
She isn’t though is she.
Sure her declining PR and mediocre WR back this alongside the common knowledge that SHE HAS NO PLACE IN THIS META.
She can’t do her Jobs and anything above Platinum Elo she becomes very useless very quick.
Ok?
People keep saying that but when I see Rein and Zarya they do fine.
I will admit they over-nerfed Dva and Winston is in a really bad place.
Rein needs some kind of protection when he charges. Maybe a buff or Zarya like bubble that activates when he charges. That way if he misses, he’s not a sitting duck.
I think you’re forgetting broken brig double sniper meta and the only way anything would die was from grav drag combo.
Also, we just came from a meta where Rein + Zarya were “the only tanks”. Now that it’s Orisa and Hog the sky is falling…
Orisa and Hog were VIABLE in the previous meta your missing the point.
However in the current Meta;
D.Va is not.
Rein is not.
Zarya is not.
Winston is not.
Hammond is playable in certain comps.
THIS is the problem.
Rein and Zarya have pretty ok winrates. But if it helps I actually suggested they buff Winston yesterday.
Go check Rein and Zarya’s pick rates above platinum and come back to me.
Pick rates can just be overreaction.
That’s how OHKO’s should be. Huge reward, large risk.
I told you to check FACT, and come back to me.
If you want to blatently attempt to blow off what you’ve just seen i won’t waste my time with you.
Look. I get that Rein and Zarya have low pickrates. But pickrates are about how good people think a hero is, not how good they actually are. That’s why I favor looking at winrates.
wait until the next tank comes out XD
If it’s not a talon tank I’m gonna be so freaking pissed
I mean, they teased a Talon tank, so I’m sure one’s coming.
It’s going to continue evolving. Moira put pressure against Dive heroes, Brig pretty much sealed it. With flankers hard countered, Genji and Tracer gave way to Hanzo and Widowmaker since they work outside of Moira and Brigs range. Which then gave way to more off Tanks who are the only ones that have a chance of surviving a headshot. Which led to more Doomfist who can one shot the supports behind the tanks.
Right now, the nerf to goats at the higher ranks led to most of the tanks becoming pingpong balls outside of pro level. With the top tanks gone, the bottom two are now technically the best tanks, which meant more bunker gameplays. Depending on how prevalent anti-dive supports are going to be, dive is going to make a comeback.
why is hammond on that list? he’s one of the best characters in the entire game once y ou spend the 200 hours required to get good with him.
Here is Harbleu getting Rank #1 in America with Wrecking Ball (on 16/05/2019). And carrying hard.

I guess this proves that Hammond needs a buff, right?!
