Is he a Tank or a DPS?

I would personally label him as a tank??? Especially considering he is Ashe’s ‘bodyguard’ it would make sense :slight_smile:

B.O.B. is a DPS-Tank hybrid, similar to Doomfist :sunglasses::facepunch:

Both.
He has both passives.
So Sleep Dart duration is reduced on him.

Massive hitbox and HP pool…
Instantly commands attention and creates space by forcing enemies to flee…
Can CC opponents by launching them in the air where they are nearly helpless…
Can be used as cover by body blocking damage…

Gotta be a Support.

Didn’t he literally need it? Sleep and hack completely invalidated him, and he dies super easy, so he needs the extra help. Personally, I’d say the same for the actual playable characters too, but people think consistency is more important than making sure a character plays well.

I’m pretty sure he is a Big Omnic Butler

He’s a sentient experimental vegetable dressing voiced by Seth Rogan.

I agree with the idea that he should have the tank passive, but he absolutely shouldn’t have the DPS passive as well.
No auto-aim/NPC abilities like Torb/Sym turret or BOB should have it. Echo should lose it depending on what she copies too.

In my heart he’ll be released as a Tank one day. And he’ll have an ultimate where he says “Ashe, do something!” and sticks of dynamite will fall all over the area. >:D

Isnt he a washed up rapper from early 2010s?

16

Hes part of a hero kit that needs a balance tuning.

Oh, lol, I forgot the DPS passive was the anti healing thing. I thought he just gave Ashe a reload boost like the old passive. No, bob shouldn’t apply the DPS passive, you’re right.
