Why do tanks always

Get all the hate? Seriously in every meta there is a support or dps that facilitates the meta that the tanks simply fit into and yet it’s always the tanks who get cries for being nerfed.

Don’t hate on Rein or Zarya, they’re incredibly weak characters who need buffs. They’re simply benefiting from brig being OP as hell.

It’s difficult to understand and see everything a tank is doing for the team. For supports, you see your team getting healed, while dps have the kill feed. Tanks have nothing that informs your team about them creating space or blocking damage.

As for brig, you can credit her for bringing back the deathball meta, but Rein and Zarya don’t exactly need buffs as much as they need some basic QoL and bug fixes (Reinhardt’s shatter and shield interactions being a big one).

Brig is a tank hybrid so you’re technically being hypocritical :joy:

brig is a support/dps. Not sure what about her makes you think she’s a tank hybrid. … unless you’re simply vomiting up what the devs said about her XD

…she can tank damage? What do you think the shield is for. And she has sustain from her passive prioritized over dps

She’s a support tank. And by tank a Bruiser like Winston and D.va

She’s way more of a tank/support hybrid than a DPS one, lol. She has one of the lowest DPS in the game.

huh, yet all the pros and top tier comp players use her as a dps…

I don’t think you’re using DPS correctly…

She has a combo and then after than the just flails you to death with minimal damage lol.

No they don’t. They have to do damage to heal their teammates.

I always appreciate tanks for protecting the dps and healers

umm winston isn’t a brusier. Dva barely is, the brusiers in OW are Hog and zarya. Secondly if you think Brig can tank damage you’re not seeing her get two shotted by doomfist often enough or absolutely wrecked by pharahs and junkrats.

Brigitte takes the spot of an off-tank like Roadhog or D.Va, not a dps’.

she disrupts and displaces the enemy team and creates space. She can absorb a fair amount of damage, especially if the other team is sloppy about how they apply it. She gets stronger by dealing and receiving damage so If she isn’t brawling on the front line she is a waste of a pick.
Not exactly back line support.

XD gotta love the fish tales reply. Sorry for breaking your brain.

Yeah this… This is what happens when you get countered. This happens to tanks too lol

never said she was a back line support. You may want to work on your reading comprehension.

I don’t 100% agree but thank god for you actually looking for and finding attack strategies that counter her.
Thanks for bringing something to the game!

actually tanks don’t usually get two shotted by doomfist, Nor do they get wrecked by junkrat. However DPS do, dps also get wrecked by pharah.
