I don’t think the tank category has nearly enough variety to be split into two roles. There are four main tanks and four off tanks, not enough to warrant separation.
Cuz off-tanks cannot protect or create space/ push the frontline that well. (Unfortunately) Sometimes it can work if you have a really good team and you go with burst suprise dmg but usually if the enemy team has at least one competent main tank and you don’t then your team will be in a disadvantage.
Or you can try to force Hog-Ball since Ball is considered as a main tank but for some reason he work the best next to Winston who is also a main tank.
Right Every tank enforces spacemaking in different ways. I wish off tanks could be changed/buffed to make space as well, so that even a seemingly weird combo like D.va/Roadhog can be viable!
Maybe this is kot enough extreme… Let’s just queue for particular hero with info which other heros you want in the team. And then wait until the team may be created (:
It’s actually surprisingly difficult, and I expect you’d get some really weak healing in the double offtank queue. Since all the healers that like being protected, will flock to the barrier queue.
If anything, if they were to split the role into offtanks and barriertanks, I’d prefer something like this:
It’s a good idea, but kinda ahead of it’s time.
Probably not good until OW2 comes out, or if they get really desperate for fixing queue times.
I had a similar version, but it doesn’t do much to fix queue times.
(And I need to update the graphics, because people can’t seem to get the idea that the Tank subroles would only be locked for like the first 10 sec of the match)
