I’ve been a tank player in overwatch 1 for years, then they released ow2 and playing tank is somehow the most miserable experience in any game I have ever played. Sure tank in ow1 was frustrating from time to time but it doesn’t compare to how miserable it feels rn. Can’t make any plays or do anything without immediately imploding, having to rely on the other 2 roles for everything and just generally not being allowed anything. The simple solution would be to just not play tank right? Except I love all the tank heroes and how they play, and I WANT to use my favourite heroes again. But I can’t get one game on tank without tilting and raging. It’s not fun. The state of tank is not fun. Especially after the new dps passive dps has more impact than ever and you NEED them while you just have to focus on not dying. I can’t see any of this changing in ow2. Well better pray OW3 will make the game fun again.
cry harder bro. As a DPS player since Overwatch day 1 I can easily tell you that tank is such a ridiculously easy role nowadays. They’re like WarCraft boss fights nowadays with all the insane heals and tankyness combined with massive amounts of damage with the easiest of controls on most of em as well. Or do you mean to tell me Orisa, Sigma or D.Va are weak?
This new patch was mostly nerfs on DPS while many other DPS feel left in the dusk in a way. Some are way stronger than others. Not to forget all the heals and invulnerability powers the supps have, since day 1 Ana sleep dart makes you feel like Roadhog even as a smaller character and all the escapes supports have. Moira, Ilary and Liveweaver.
Tank is rough right now. You just have to play corners and wait half the time.
The DPS passive needs to be reduced on tanks. DPS players just tend to stat pad now, rather than trying to get picks.
Got a great solution for you. No one below gold knows how anything works. Play in gold and below and you will never get blown up again (as long as you dont do anything stupid, play the ganme well etc…). If your already in those ranks then that is the problem.
Hope this was helpful!
