Either that or every tank with armor needs to have their sustain / survivability abilities nerfed. OR every tank with armor needs to lose about… half of their armor in total. I’m so tired of uncontestable god tanks who can do whatever they want, because you do pixie damage to armor now and they have their own survivability abilities stacked on top of it.
Monkey can do whatever he wants. Dva can do whatever she wants. Rein can do whatever he wants. Sigma can do whatever he wants (he doesn’t even have armor, but I’m slandering him because even without armor he’s still the #1 played tank this hero is a joke design wise).
Like dead serious I stopped playing doom and started playing some other tanks. Game INSTANTLY became 100x easier. I don’t have to worry about getting blown up from CC, I barely have worry about poke damage instantly putting me at half. I don’t have to worry about putting in 3x the effort for half the value. I don’t have to worry about none of that. It’s crazy.

Doom being bad doesn’t inherently mean every other tank needs nerfs

I wouldn’t even say he’s bad. He’s mediocre right now and it’s mainly because… the other dive tanks are just better at EVERYTHING he provides.
But the other tanks absolutely needs nerfs. I don’t think doom needs buffs (although I do want a powershift). He just can’t compete when dva has quadruple his survivability but can also go in as a backline assassin and kill things easier than he can. Like??? And he’s meant to be THE backline assassin tank.
He doesn’t have armor so he got nothing from that, so he’s still not that hard to just… shoot at and remove his HP. He got a small shield gain buff (which is great), but dva also got armor buffs PLUS defense matrix buffed. He just can’t compete with that. The whole backline assassin stuff is cool but when the other dive tanks can live way better and they don’t require the hand of God at the keyboard to get value out of them? No point to ever play doom. Plus he suffers from counter swapping so much more.
It has less to do with Doom being mid and more to do with the fact that other tanks are actually just overtuned af
Yeah sadly it feels like it’s necessary with how powerful things like anti nade and focus fire are against tanks
I play both Dva and Winston and also a little bit of Doom and I’m so serious when I say Winston and Dva just need nerfs with no compensation buffs lmfao
Winston is the biggest culprit but it’s all fixable by just reverting armour to a flat 30% damage reduction and shaving off some bubble HP. same with dva just bringing her to 3 seconds of dm
anti nade and focus fire are strong … against tanks without any external mitigation
junker queen and doom struggle the most with it. dva and monkey don’t care about it
Problem is that the tanks that benefited most from armour changes also got big buffs in S11 -
Rein has lot of armour and got more shields. Now you get through that shield finally and some tanks can do little to his armour having only 50% damage.
Ram got armour buff and very frequently recharges it - low CD.
DVa has masses of armour and now can hold matrix right through the first point!! Matrix goes down and she slowly takes damage then it’s back up again and takes none unless your whole team goes beams.
Monkey has bubble then when that breaks, he has armour and plenty of time to jump out because he’s not dying in the CD of his jump.
and so on.
They have over-buffed the tanks who already have good damage mitigation.
Then you have hog and mauga firing jellies at armour and Ana shutting them down completely.
Such fair and unbiased buffing.
In my humble opinion, if you just shoot at Reinhardt, that generally works.
Ah yes. Let me just get through the 1600 HP shield and then the fact half of his HP is the freshly omega buffed armor!
very fun!
It’ll only take me 15 business days to get through and god forbid if I’m playing a hero who got hit hard specifically from the armor changes, it’ll take even longer.
