    On paper this patch looks pretty bad. I'll edit this comment in 12 hours after I play it and see if my mind is changed. Anyways - twitch drops on my stream from July 9 - 14 for Symmetra cosmetics: twitch.tv/karq
    Also sry for some audio bugs - I rush these things out ASAP when patch day hits (ow content creator rat race unfortunately) and some oversights happen mb yall.
    Edit 12 hrs later: Tanks are def good, mostly Zarya/Dva. I won't lie from a support pov the game mostly felt the same for me. This patch didn't move the needle in terms of addressing tanking pain points, but the patch itself isn't game breaking. Tanks are just kaiju's that duel the other kaiju and I'm in the back chucking anti's and nanoing my kaiju no 8 to beat their kaiju no 9

Probably more worth it than not.

      Guys I don't think the ow2 team has the same ideas as ow1 devs. Ow1 devs wanted to make the perfect game and said they would NEVER revert changes. This isn't about making the game perfect - it's about changing the meta and adjusting for newly released or overpowered or underpowered heroes.

      It's a ratio, 2:3. If ball has, say, 200 adaptive shields, he can give out 75 individual per 50. 75x4 = 300, so if he had 200 shield, he'd be able to give out 300. I'm pretty sure that's how it works

From flat, to rounded, then flat again. Because it just creates a sense of "new". The Blizzard team isn't trying to make the game perfectly balanced, they're just buffing certain aspects every once in a while to make it feel new and then buffing other aspects later to bring them back up to par.

      This ultimate is much less strong than you may think of it. If there's Ana or Sombra(which is pretty often seen pick vs Ashe) you can just throw away your Q button you'll not need it.

Cause BOB is static no one struggles to headshot him. This patch make him survive that shots for a lil bit longer and that's good. He can still be hacked, sleeped, booped or pushed down the cliffs or into some close space rooms from where he doesn't do anything.

      its weird because cassidy to be fair over performs in close range now. Couple head shots as you close in, flashbang, barrage, roll, barrage and as long as he got aim most people are gone. However cassidy imo was a great idea of pseudo-sniper for those that dont like characters like widow or ashe. So i would've touched flashbang in a way where it was usable long range, like making an ACTUAL flashbang without range limit that makes blind enemies more vulnerable to headshots, something like that.

      @@grizzegrizzThe issue is that the tank player on a team is as strong as two players (due to the power of the two tanks in 6v6 being put in the hands of one tank in 5v5) making the gameplay asymmetrical and the tank player by far the most valuable person on a team. If one player is that strong, they are also the most valuable to kill, resulting in most games becoming “focus down the tank to win.” Due to tanks being so powerful and hard to kill though, a lot of the time instead of playing strategically and catching the tank out of position (which they don’t really get punished for as hard as the other roles due to their insane survivability) the most effective tactic is to counter-swap the tank. This cycle is boring and unskillful in most peoples eyes, and forces DPS and support players to swap off the characters they actually want to play in order to win, and just makes the tank experience an overall miserable game of rock paper scissors.
      I’m no game designer so I can’t offer a perfect solution, and I doubt anyone truly can, but I can tell you this patch definitely isn’t the way to go. Tanks are already insanely powerful, and making them even stronger and more impactful will only force players to counter-swap to hard focus them even more. Obviously a lot of people propose 6v6, which I do think would fix a lot of issues, but I don’t have much faith that the dev team would ever go back to that because in a way it would be them admitting defeat. Unless they do 6v6 though, they really need to look at each individual character (including DPS and supports) and look at how they interact, synergize, and counter tanks and change it on a character by character basis. Big sweeping buffs to an already powerful role will NOT help, yet they continue to do stuff like this.

The point of 5v5 was queue times, no if's and's or butt's, and it definitely did not solve those, top 500 tank is diamond 1 lmao nobody is playing the role even by a worse margin than when we needed 2 tanks for every game. Then there's endless reasons 6v6 was better for gameplay. A tank's weakness could be mitigated by their counterpart, like dva helping winston or sigma helping orisa even if they were a lil broken back when they could play together. Since they can't now, the entire game is counterswap the enemy tank. AND the tank gets 100% of the blame, in 90% of the games. Whether it truly was their fault or not.

    As a Tank player, I don't need to be more unkillable, Tanks are already good at Tanking damage. Tanks are bad at Tanking CCs and bad at making cover for teammates while also taking space.
    Just a suggestion:
    - Maybe add CC reduction/mitigation on Armor health
    - A passive that reduces the CC effect by half after getting CCd means if you get naded and then get sleep darted you take half less of the sleep dart effect.
    - Introduce new abilities to Tank in the form of Barriers. Yes, Bunker and Goats comps were a traumatic experience, however, that is because two tanks with shields, a busted op Brig, and Bap were allowed back then in OW1. With only one tank now, having a deployable shield or support kit like Rammattra/MirrorWatch Widow Barrier, a mini Dva succ, or a Soldier Heal pad could help.
    Tanks shouldn't be good at tanking damage in OW, they should also be CC mitigators/denials.

    I keep saying that this game can't get any worse, and my god the devs sure know how to test that fucking statement. At this point I'm not even mad anymore, it's genuinely hilarious to see just how incompetent they are. Those mauga buffs are especially hysterical, can't just let him and the horse die for a couple of seasons like they did to rein and ball huh?

    • @liane4276

      Mauga isn't impossible to counter play as a rein player. Literally just counter charge him when he charges and shield when he over drives. Maybe learn the counter play dynamics instead of complaining all the time.

      The -30% ult gained penalty from hitting tanks has been changed to -40%, which is a buff to tanks

    KarQ, you make 10 minute long videos. It would not kill you to watch the video once over in 2x speed before uploading. It's 5 minutes of your time to ensure you audio levels aren't stupidly low, and that there's no random noises that obliterate you ear drums. Your audio also randomly cuts out some videos. I've seen better production quality in middle school video essays.
