Why Did They Nerf

Tanks In Open Queue?

So stacking them gives you less of an advantage? Stacking 3 700hp tanks and 2 aoe supports was always going to be OP? Seems like such a simple answer

So, what? I dont understand what the problem is? Its open queue play what you want. If you dont like the stacking play another mode

Again … What is the problem?

Some people LOVE to play that way … why cant there be a mode for them, and the other people that dont like it play something else?

Slow tempo downtime, and low hero usage variety.

That actually sounds like fun … They should have open que for those people that love this and another mode for others.

While the game isn’t balanced around open queue - there is still some need for some semblance of balance.

To encourage the people who do not want to win the video game to select DPS. It’s just enough to make them believe they have a chance. Just pray their team has one of those animals as well. And also pray that when you have a hitscan and they have the Pharah that your special little dumpling can aim.

:muscle: :wink:

I remember the times where there was enough defense for Pharah to be not so useful unless she was specifically pocketed by Mercy

GOATS problems are still problems. They never went away.

They still have an advantage even with their lower health pools. It’s still optimal to go three tanks and two Supports or two tanks and two supports and one damage.

Half the roster was collecting dust lol

Except it still gives you the same advantage. As 1 tank, 2 dps and 2 supports, you are literally incapable of beating a 3 tank 2 support team.
People still regularly tank stack because it’s still just as powerful.

You know what a team does when they’re losing in OQ, because it literally ALWAYS works?
They go 3 tanks 2 supports, immediately turn the match around and stomp all the way to a win. It’s happened to me COUNTLESS times and I mostly play OQ.

We’re winning, we’ve pushed the robot almost all the way to the end and won, enemy team goes Orisa, Mauga, Sigma, Juno, Moira, and instantly turns the match around and stomps us all the way to the end and there’s nothing we can do if we don’t also go 3 tank 2 support. Literally can’t beat it without the same roles.
There’s almost no point in picking dps in this mode.

They still have Role Queue for DPS … And you can STILL play DPS in open que. They should have at least ONE mode where people can play how they want … Tank and Support

Because DPS hitscan one-tricks weren’t enjoying the mode designed around having fun on tank.

First your obviously not an overwatch 1 player as you do not understand the pain of goats.

Second there is this option called custom modes, go create your ideal mode there

I am an OW1 player. The only pain of GOATS was the fact that noone played DPS and the TTK was high.

People want the Dopamine hit and want elims and fast TTK… Me on the other hand, I want a long TTK and a battle not a skirmish

Same could be said about you guys, but you already have a mode where you can play called role que

Technically speaking, they aren’t nerfed in Open Queue, they’re buffed for Role Queue.

And isn’t the Open Queue “meta” already to stack tanks?
They certainly don’t need more encouragement that’d come with an extra 150 health.
