Why do people think tanks are getting buffed? 5v5

Are there any concerns that damage boosts like discord orb could be too powerful or too punishing against a single tank? I have a feeling in 5 v 5 discord orb would be very strong to quickly melt tank heroes.

High burst heroes like Echo and Hanzo sound like they would be an OW2 balancing nightmare as well.

I’m going to refer back to this paragraph in my first post:

Tanks will still be the unquestioned authority on blocking damage; however, they won’t be simultaneously contending with the opposing Tank blocking nearly all incoming damage for their team. Changing to a single Tank means that they will be tuned to be slightly tougher on the individual level.

Additionally, the aforementioned ability of supports to better focus on keeping a single tank alive will have an impact on this.
