The shield ptr nerfs are not nerfs

They are a global change of how main tank characters work. It is not a nerf. It is a new way to play.

Just played ptr, shield is gone in 2 seconds…no reason to play shield tanks going forward…rise of hanzo and widow.

We really didn’t have a triangle during bunker. Dive and death all were pretty dead.

That feels extremely overpowered, to be honest,

and now bunker is dead too, just how they killed the other two, they did the same mistake and killed yet another comp,

You’re the reason I’m out of likes right now :joy:

they killed bunker to bring back dive or deathball. What I’m trying to say is that, team comps really can’t coexist in overwatch.

At most we have one meta team comp with slight alterations.

its generally caused by them completly obliterating the current meta comp, though…Just how they did now

No, it was bunker versus bunker. Dive hasn’t been played in years and deathball is pretty rare.

Because, as i said before, they did the exact same mistake as now and completly obliterated them every time they were meta, causing bunker to be too strong because both dive and deathball were too weak…

Yea, we can call it how it is actualy, dive…
now, when should i expect another big changes because im sure those will not be something i will like to play in.

Having a shield is always better than having no shield no matter how weak The shield is.

More like your choice of:

Dive
Rein/Zarya
Sigma/Orisa
Sigma/Rein
???/Roadhog

Also can throw in Mei, Baptiste, and Brig for more non-tank tanking.

Your gameplay now with any hero gona be dive in and kill stuff, nothing more
Its dive, but with differend tanks.

That is incorrect. A barrier that cant serve its purpose is useless.

Rein is going to be the only viable MT going forward. I would normally say WB is also viable although rare due to his skill level requirements but Rein’s 25% movement increase coupled with his 50% CC reduction means WB will not be able to do anything to Rein and to an extent, his team.

Rein will push out every single tank from the meta stringing along Zarya and occasionally using another specialty tank if the map benefits from it or the enemy is running something really weird.

So basically:
Dive=Low Sustain
Rein/Zarya= Medium Sustain
Orisa/Sigma= High Sustain
Rein/Sigma/Mei/Baptiste=Higherer Sustain
