Umm no… you must be new here. A shield doesn’t make a main tank.
That’s the issue. Sigma isn’t a main tank.
I think she is pretty good on attack. She is kind of useless on defense unless your team is good at defending a bunker which assumes you have competent teammates that are on the same page (gl with that).
it is a sad state of affairs. orisa is so cute and i love her lore. a protector of the innocent and her being innocent herself. although ingame everytime someone picks orisa im like “OH MAN”… i really rather have a hog/ball combo since at least i know the enemy is getting pressured a bit, even a suicidal rein is better than orisa most of the time. im sure its my elo tho and im sure she is somewhat good at the highest rankings depending on tank combo
It’s because nobody knows how to shoot/bypass shields effectively and gets bored when competent players can rotate shields to maintain near-constant damage mitigation.
Pepper in the “Sombra is trash” mentality, and people downplaying how powerful Tracer is, and you have a recipe to create the perfect storm of unnecessary tank nerfs.
Tbh at this point, yeah it does. Because no other tank can hold the front line. If you’re face tanking the team as Roadhog or Hamtaro, you’re playing your hero wrong. Please, before stating your OPINION, educate on the FACT.

because the dev team is stupid and despite sigma being the major issue in double shield they overnerfed her instead of him
You alternate between defensive abilities and with a tank partner they weave in theirs.
For example:
Orisa shield
Sigma eat
Fortify
Sigma shield
Orisa shield
Etc
The cooldowns should be in a constant cycle
Its not an opinion…you dont need a big blue rectangle to be a main tank. Sorry but not sorry. You need to learn what dive is since youre going to be playing it in ow 2. You hold the front line by rotating defensive cooldowns…this is simply a git good case imo
Dive heroes aren’t main tanks though. They are dive heroes. I think you are misunderstanding the principles of the definitions. Dive heroes are not, and will never be, main tanks. That’s not their job at all, lol.

Youre thinking of anchor tanks…not main tanks. Main just means first one in or takes most of the aggro. Ie winston and ball are main tanks.
Type in overwatch main tanks into google and see what you get…straight facts

Nope incorrect. Try again.
Main tanks are the ones that protect the team. Rolling around the map looking for health packs is not tanking. By your logic Sombra is a main tank.

Okay guy, if you say so.

While I understand your point, I think any tank can be played as main tank depending on the comp. Heck, Hog/ Zarya only works because a Bubbled hog can function as a main tank. Like how Ball can be played as both main or off tank depending on the style…
I’ve also had quite some luck as off tank Winston.
Ball can’t be played as a main tank.
Hog is a main tank in the hog zarya or hog sigma comps. Hog orisa, the only theoretical hog off tank comp is really really bad.
Hog is a main tank at this point.
Hog plays as like a space enforcer who threatens the enemy team similar to a rein hammer.
I have 150hours on Orissa from character launch to before she sucked, I don’t bother playing her anymore even with another shield tank she is almost always useless. Playing a completely inexperienced Sigma is more effectvive due to her being dumpstered 
Having said that would prefer her nerfed to oblivion that the double shield meta she was enabling at the time 
It wouldn’t be as bad if she wasn’t so slow, but with melt-everything-super-Soldier, Bastion, Hanzo, and dive DPS she has no chance unless she’s playing a corner or has a team really sharing her space.
