Tanks actually die even faster now, except maybe for Hog.
Cassidy and Sojourn damage output on tanks is absolutely busted now.
Reaper is completely useless.
I play Queen and Zarya when needed, but mostly Queen. She feels a lot more fluid and able to hold space better. I get armored tanks are now weaker, but that’s not who I play.
So once again, in my opinion, some tanks are better now.
Yeah, it’s the same against non-armored tanks if they land body shots and a lot less on headshots, so non-armored tanks are actually ahead against chunky damage, overall.
I have been destroying tanks on reaper and soldier pre patch so understand the tank buffs, struggling to see why soldier is better now with 25% headshot damage reduction can anyone explain how he can be better?
Armor was never queen’s issue. although she does a lot less dmg now vs armor. her issue is the dps passive taking a big dump on her kit. over health > regen.
as long as the dps passive is a thing queen can never be anything other than niche. shes hog 2.0. focus fire her and she dies.
as a dva main. bought the new skin. porsche skin is clean af ngl. first game cant even kill a torb turret on my own and get absolutely countered. tank is not fixed at all. i still explode the instand dm runs out. i still cant beat my counters. hog and mauga still not nerfed. this is absolute garbage. tank is not fixed at all
Adding in Cassidy also tells me this has to be a low rank player. Cassidy body shots are not scary. They are not bursty. What matters is headshots and they are largely unchanged. Sojourn is annoying but oddly I doubt they are playing against a good one.
Mauga and Roadhog were never really a challenge against Queen.
Also… it might be me and the opponents I’m facing… but I’m killing at Junker Queen.
The Command Shout buff has been a big boon, especially since I can use it during Jagged Edge and Carnage, but the cooldown might’ve tipped her over the edge. She’s really strong right now, perhaps a little too strong.
dva out of all tanks has arguably the highest skill ceiling “buddy”. i played that game perfectly. rolled the first two points of eichenwalde. my only “mistake” was not swapping off dva. since you know its only qp and i really wanted to play the new skin. been playing dva since release 2016. i know that character inside out. trust me dva is playable until the counters come into play. i would say this patch makes it worse since zarya takes less headshot damage meaning the small moment where she has no bubbles she takes even less damage from me as dva meanwhile zaryas beam never critted to begin with. zarya is now even stronger against dva then before. and if i ignore zarya try to dive the backline. well i have no dps passive so i cant out damage a pocketed support or dps. before accusing me of “skill issue” maybe word it correctly “balance issue”
