What is NOT a boring tank? Anyone have any suggestion as to how to make a tank NOT boring?

Winston, until the entire team hard counters you, then it sucks, which is different than boring.

All of the tanks are fun.

Reinhardt is not boring. He carries this game. If there was no Reinhardt, I would finally be free from the shackles of torment.

any tank is fun… until game forces you to constantly hide behind corners like a squishy instead of fighting in a frontline

It all depends on what you consider fun.

None of them are truly boring besides Orisa which is very straight forward to play.

D.Va, Wrecking Ball, Doom, Winston, Ram, JunkerQueen.

That is all. If your tank didn’t make it onto this list, my condolences.

Edit: I acknowledge that Reinhardt can sometimes be fun, sometimes.

Winston’s fun, D.Va’s fun, Reinhardt’s fun, Junker Queen’s fun, Ramattra’s kinda fun, and I can see how Wrecking Ball or Doomfist could be fun. Even Roadhog used to be fun. Only tanks I’d say are boring are Zarya, Orisa, Mooga, and maybe Sigma.

Not a bad list except it contains bacon.

Not anymore… Hog isn’t fun to frontline with, and his “rework” somehow makes him more complex without adding any actual depth to his kit.

Then we agree.

I think people find more skill expression, higher skill floor and ceiling, more interesting.(Low skill floor is a vice rather than a virtue in a PvP game.)

Rein is fun? I don’t count holding my right clicker down as fun gameplay on push maps.
Winston is most fun until they go anti dive.

Doomfist isn’t a boring tank.

Rework the tank role so that it’s mainly about the following:

  • Damage mitigation
  • Crowd control
  • Displacement

The current “tanks are just fat DPS” thing is just not healthy.

Also make both the tank and dps roles more independent and less relying on support.

They need to basically come out with Overwatch 3.

Ball used to be an absolute joy to play.

The fun Reins almost never shield. He gives his double-main supports multiple heart attacks per fight, countless per game, and he could do this in OW1. Fun Rein takes years off a support player’s life.
