Why is the Overwatch team adding more DPS heroes to the roster?

Unless team can stay in her line of sight, she is bad healer. It’s not level of coordination to find at lower tiers.

Because Tanks and Supports have had it their way for the past three additions of the game while there have only been 2 new DPS added over the game’s current lifespan.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of DPS players (much like support and tank players) want something fresh and new to their respective role hence why it’s nice they are adding a new DPS

You could say the same thing for those playing support and tank. They have just as much access to other roles as DPS do.

So DPS players have to settle for dumb reworks that hardly at all fulfill their intended purpose while tanks and supports get new heroes all together? Fun mindset pal.

Remember that tanks and supports have a lot less heroes to choose from.

Fun you have 15 options to play with. Fun mindset you have half the roster if you’re dps main. Also you got 3 heros added compared to tanks who have 2.

because tanks and healers are running the game with 3 tanks 3 heals comps adding more will just put the final nail at overwatch’s coffin

there is not 15 “playable without throwing” dps heroes.
Right now you play doomfist ir sombra or you are throwing because healing is too good right now and that healers still do some real damage like zen,brig or ana

How much more tanks and supports need to be added before you’ll be fine with a new DPS?

Cause last time I checked, the last 3 additions to the game were rank/support while only 2 out of 7 of all heroes added were DPS.

Maybe people should not stick with one role.

If you play all 3 roles, the game since released has added 8 new heroes for you. It’s your own limitation that you don’t enjoy one or two of the 3 roles.

DPS is the most popular roles. It makes sense to regularly release new heroes into this category to satisfy the largest group.

So? Tank meta won’t always be around, and then there’s also the fact that many don’t play meta, then on top of all that there’s the issue that in a tank meta, there’s so few tanks to even play, limiting variety even more.

Key difference: DPS has to focus on other team. Tank and healer have to keep an eye out on both teams at once. Different mindsets are hard to mix together.

DPS players trying to pick tanks or healers tend to stick to old habits, resulting in overly aggressive play and disregard for teammates. Tanks/support players trying to pick DPS tend to play more cautiously, even if situation requires charging in.

Even best of the best, OWL players, don’t switch to different role.

Out of all the dps hero’s bastion the only one consider a throw a pick. On ladder you use any of the other dps and not be thwoing. Healing to good right now Moira and mercy only healers that can out heal some DPS heros overall damage. In triple support which isn’t run in most ranks. And in gm triple support is popular it’s not always used.

at least tanks are playable in 3 tanks meta and goat you have the choice with 3 dps.
Soldier in triple tanks while ALL tanks except Winston were godtier
in Goat only Winston and Hog are unplayable and dps can play only doomfist and sombra.

Not a valid argument here

I would be happy if support and tanks had 8 heros in both category. At that point you have 4 main support and 4 off support. Tanks would have 4 main tanks and 4 tank’s. So the next three heros should go support, tank, support, dps, dps. Tank.

Well, in worlds, Winston was the tank played. Except Dva lol, because Dva .

That’s not true. 3/3 requires the dps to switch to tank and support.

Sometimes a support would switch to dps as well. Shaz, Harryhook and RJH have all taken the dps role when needed.

It’s not really a counter … just the better widow player. And Winston or Dva or Genji are often better than trying to outwidow the enemy.

Again, if Ana is OP why wasn’t she played before? And Doom and Genji aren’t OP … people are just to lazy to pick counters. I eat both of them ith Sombra.

Winston and Dva diving kills most healers …. maybe not Moira and Brig. Mercy was a must pick because of her strong healing plus rezz.

They are still in most games.

Yes, she requires the most skill of all healers and you can get a lot out of her. But her high pickrate comes more from Mercys and Moiras weakness right now and the fact that she is most fun to play.

I think it’s a cycle. One damage, support and tank every year. They have introduced 3 supports(Ana, Moira, and Brigitte), 3 damage(Sombra, Doomfist, Ashe) and 2 tanks(Orisa and Wrecking Ball) I think a tank is next. But I think they won’t announce 2 tanks in 2019 but during the summer they might announce a support.

The hero Echo was in some old concept art way back. Im pretty sure it was well before Muriel even came out. So no, its not a ripoff.
