I typically que flex and get placed in tank games ALL day. I’m noticing that as a plat tank I’ll be put up against high diamond tank’s or gold tanks because tanks are so scarce right now.
Tanks have every right to complain this patch because they die so easily. I suggest making some changes immediately for the sake of the other roles.
-
Please make the healing passive faster for tanks. They have a bigger health pool so they require more heals when the passive activates.
-
Make the dps passive only apply to heals provided by support (only for tanks). Heroes like JQ, Mauga, and road hog rely on self healing. Allowing them to self heal at a normal rate would increase their ability to tank more damage for their team.
-
Make the dps passive only 5% healing reduction for tanks. This would make body blocking a smart strategy for teams and goes pretty well with the idea of tanking.
Side note/quality of life request: can we add rewards for people who que flex. I think adding a %bonus on the amount of comp points or even bringing back the “priority pass” tickets would be a great way to alleviate que times on other roles and encourage people to flex. I already enjoy flexing for the random element it brings (even if it’s basically equivalent to queuing tank), so an added incentive would be the cherry on top.
Lmk what you think about these change suggestions and or what you would do.
