I think that the problem is lack of choice. Instead of small nerfs to Orisa a Sigma and waiting for the meta to shift, we got impatient and they got hard nerfed. Then Wrecking Ball got a nerf. For most players this basically leaves Reinhardt or double off tank as the options.
Now people want to nerf Reinhardt, which I get but I’d rather see buffs to other tanks. And some people want to nerf D.Va or Zarya, neither of which need a nerf.
If you want to fix the role, try to buff (carefully) Orisa and Sigma (more Sigma). Nerf Mei. Give Hog’s take a breather some team support ability. Give Winston a 1 second reduction on leap. See where we end up.
If you want to absolutely kill the role, nerf any of the tanks people are still playing. It may never recover if they nerf D.Va or Zarya. And a nerf to Rein without a buff somewhere else would be equally fatal.
You know, I called that when Mei was unpopular, but no she is fine. Hey wall is just too good and her slow too. They need to fix tank heroes in dps slot
They focused on making this game more team oriented and balanced the heroes accordingly. Play paladins at tabk. They are balanced in the way you suggested.
See how you like it.
Rebalance all tanks to be viable and stop pigeon holing tanks to be only played with 1 or 2 other tanks only.
Zarya and dva should be viable if you have a team that’s smart enough to not get picked off by dps and ranged supports. Also if you can all avoid shatter.
You mean to tell me people dont like being the punching bag of the team perpetually booped and stunned by the myriad of CC they keep adding to the game? Where if you arent playing rein, you are told to play rein?
I don’t understand why tank has the lowest population, it’s really fun.
This is not sarcasm, I find playing tank to be really fun because you dictate the game and theres more nuances to it than playing DPS or Support. Not sure why people find it boring or anything.
