    In the 5v5 format you have two choices. Either buff tanks to the point they become DBD monsters I:E S3 Junker Queen/S8 Mauga or just accept the fact that the role is going to be horrible to play.

    6v6 would fix all the problems tanks have. First of all, counterswapping. Its not a fun gameplay experience when you are forced to swap a hero you enjoy playing. It affects your team too and makes the match not enjoyable.
    6v6 would also create more gameplay options. All of the tanks would have better opportunities of making a play, since they cant be counterswapped as easilly and there is a second tank that can draw some of the attention away of the other tank. It makes playing dps even more enjoyable, since 6v6 would decrease all of the tank health pools and they would actually be killable and therefore punishable if they make a mistake. It would also increase the skill expression of tanks, since you woul be more carefull of your playmaking and positioning. Now when there is one tank, the game forces to give way too much power to one tank. Tanks can do way too much now.
    Dying doesnt feel as bad in 6v6. Your second tank could die and you could still win the team fight. Now look how often teamfights are lost when the other teams tank dies. Since 5v5 format makes 1 tanks take the role of 2 tanks that we had in 6v6 you could argue that your tank dying now = your both tanks dying in 6v6.
    Matchmaking. Sometimes you face a really bad matchup with tank, for example, winston main who facec a roadhog main. There is much higher chance that the hogs team wins the game, even bigger if the winstons team is not willing to deal with hog either. Obviosly there is plays you can make to get past that but its much harder. 6v6 would enable much more solutions When you could have that other tank on your team, some tanks actually might be playable against their so called hard counters, since the other tank can help with the other ones weaknesses.
    Remember when tanks could die to ults. Remember when a badly positioned tank could be killed easilly. You cant tell me that its fun, when you are shooting Mauga to the head multiple times in a row and he takes 0 damage. You cant argue that its fun when Hog can surve ults by just vaping and not be punishable in situations where he has clearly misplayed.
    And the passives. Its not skill, neither fun, not great for new players and overall not healthy for the game to have so many passives. The tank passives are forced through the format. Making tank take less hs damage and knockback, others experience is worse. And its free value, you just have that as a tank now. Its not fun not to be able to boop a tank out of a certain position, and neither shooting a tank endlessly to the face while dealing no damage. So we just dont give value to good plays and aim when going against a tank, and that is a bad gameplay experience.
    This is just some of the things 5v5 has brought to the game. All of you 5v5 defenders need to wake up. You cant argue that 6v6 isnt better.
    Ask yourself this. Why are we making so many changes to tanks health, passives, survivability, reworks and so on? Why we didnt need to change numbers on Ow1? Its forced by the the format and now its the time to realise that 5v5 will never be fun to everybody. You literally cant argue that 5v5 is more enjoyable than 6v6.

      @Crescendo961 3 місяці тому +18

      Its nuanced, but for the most part disagree.
      The issue with Tanks has nothing to do with the overall power level in the game.
      Tanks as a whole are a means to an end, they have particular roles and niches in a game that they need to be able to fulfill and they dont do that with any sort of consistency. And thats a major issue with tanks before counters are even considered.
      No amount of "Nerf everyone else is going to fix the inherent dysfunction of the hero design some tanks have in the context of OW2.
      People keep asking why the meta constantly devolves to Hog, Mauga, and Risa whenever Dive is weak.
      Its because those 3 do what is nessasary of a tank most consistently while also dealing well with eachother.
      Dive comes into promience whenever the Dive tanks are overtuned because suprise suprise if you cant be countered or dont have enough varied counterplay you can do whatever you want.
      So this idea that you can somehow nerf your way into Tank feeling better is misguided. No amount if nerfs is going to make gunning down the massive target on the frontline or threat in the backline the incorrect option.
      Tanks need to be able to deal with the majority of what gets thrown at them in a way that feels equitable to all partys as well as make autonomous and rewarding decisions that dont hinge on a followup or have an overly large way to be punished by non tanks.
      The roster can do too much to tanks and tanks cant really do enough back to them in the majority of contexts, even in a head to head.
      Thats not enjoyable. trying to push an isolated 250 HP target on tank and losing because you get CD diffed or mobility diffed.
      Theres a lot of issues with tank in general, and you cant really fix any of them long term or broadly with nerfs. And the ones you can fix with nerfs still dont broadly fix a lot of issues the role has.
      Tanks need less overspecialization and more flexible design.

    Am I missing something that just seems somewhat an obvious solution? I have not heard anyone talk about it or mention it, but if Overwatch 2 returned to 6v6 wouldn't a solution to the "shield meta" and the last few seasons of Overwatch 1 being completely double shield biased... to just be limit only 1 shield tank per team? So that you can't have Sig + Rein as an example... also Orissa doesn't have a shield any longer so it seems like it wouldn't be that much of an issue?

    • @paulnemeth9246
      @paulnemeth9246 3 місяці тому +1

      This point has been brought up a few times. Making it so if one person picked a shield character and the others would be locked out would make the game feel clunky and would ruin owl’s core design to have a variety of team compositions that the players can create. And returning to 6v6 with the current roster really wouldn’t have a double shield meta since it was orisa and sigmas shields, not Reinhart. If there would be one it would be with sigma and ramattra but I think ramattras shield is to week for double shield.

    This might be a hot take:
    Tanks were always bad in overwatch, but it was harder to tell because there was two of them. Now that there is one tank, it is easy to tell that tanks are bad. People say that Reinhardt was good in a two tank format, and that he was overpowered in overwatch as a meta pick, but in reality, it was because it was very possible that the other tank he was paired with was pulling 90% of the load, and rein was pulling 20%

  • @Scayanite

    Suggestions Box: Adjust the Matchmaker to group the players based on what they lack. For instance: If a Tank player usually plays Dive, (their most used heroes during that competitive season are Doom, etc) they get paired with Supports that can go the same pace. In other words, make it to where the game matches each player by what suits their playstyle, in order to make the whole Team-based-Shooter into an easier bite to digest.

    The reason the tank role sucks rn is because the game has never been so team dependent yet never been so built around team ignorance.

    This being my first fps game, felt like tank in ow1 was the best role to start off in. More hp than dps/healers, not mechanically demanding compared to dps, and another tank to help mitigate made it great for new players. Good way to understand teamplay and positioning.
    Now the tank role in ow2 has become the hardest and most intimidating role to learn.
    You are forced to learn three different style of tanks from the getgo while you can have all these one trick dps do whatever they want.
    The team will automatically lose the game if you choose the wrong tank. However, when both teams tanks choose correctly, there isnt much impact a tank player can do and has to soley rely on their teammates.
    This game needs to bring back 6v6. Bring back 1 shot combos and stop making every role tanky. Let the 2 tanks tank and make the other two roles glass cannons. That will give more player agency

    IMO they can NOT buff their way into improving the tank experience. The tank role has seen buff after buff (along with nerfs to things that tanks considered "unfair" to play against,) since the start of OW2, and all it has done is force the community to find new ways to "punish" tanks. This is NATURAL game play adaptations caused by the role being STRONGER than the other roles. Because tanks are harder to kill AND have high lethality AND often have good movement and ability to chase or engage into your space, you have NO CHOICE but to punish tanks as hard as you can. Initially this was done with debuffs and CC. Tanks complained and received more packed into their passive to deal with it, they gor special durations for things like sleep, AND every ability that could punish a tank was eventually nerfed. Every single one. So what did THAT lead to? Counter picking. Counter pick the tank almost immediately, exploit any weakness in the tank by finding the heros that excel in playing against that weakness. Tanks are now complaining about that, as if THEY are being unfairly punished and forced off the heroes they want to play, but who actually felt that way first? The other roles who felt forced to counter pick the tank in the first place. And so now there is community rumbling about how to "fix" this by limiting hero swapping in some way (something that has been in the game untouched since the original game launched.) Blizzard is once again looking at tank buffs, just a season after giving tanks large buffs in the form of armor rework and headshot reduction.
    When will they admit they CAN'T buff (or nerf the other roles) their way out of this? As long as players have ANY option to deal with tanks, they'll lean into it as hard as they can. The only buffs large enough to "fix" this for tanks, will be the buffs that remove all the tools the enemy have to significantly punish them. At that point Overwatch will have a MUCH bigger problem on their hands: a single role that dominates every game with the other roles feeling frustrated because they are simply playing moving targets for tanks to eliminate.
    Also, is NO one surprised that the improved Phara is doing well? Perhaps the dps hero that is hardest for tanks to contest (well, also hard for many heroes on the roster to contest, but she's especially good at getting around tank defenses and putting in some meaningful damage.)

    i'm a tank player and i don't necessarily want tanks to be "tankier". i want tanks to be glass cannons with weaknesses that can be protected with individual skill expression, not slaves to their team. quick play tanking is nothing compared to comp. in qp, you can pick any tank and be decent. in comp, it's all about counter-swapping and doing whatever your team wants you to do. it's boring to be front and center and always blamed for everything, especially if your team loses. instead, i would like tanks to be brawlers rather than the punching bag and elephant in the room. remember, in 5v5, if your tank sucks, you automatically lose.

    • @kommandantkillcode
      @kommandantkillcode 3 місяці тому +1

      Completely agreed. Tanks being brawlers that can take more punishment than the other roles and dish out nearly as much as DPS, would make tanks feel much more fun to play because you'd be able to actually get kills on your own more frequently as a tank, but without skillful play, you'll only be able to get one or two if those enemies have no help.
      Therefore, tanks will need to play in a way that is more weary of the damage they take, but the payout of their engagements will be much more rewarding, similar to how DPS feels to play, but with a bit less damage dealt in favor of damage mitigation potential.

    looks like nobody knows what make a hero a tank anymore. imo a tank withstand a lot of damage through shield, health, armor. the only heroes that dont fall in those categories are doom and queen. regen health is not what a tank is meant to be, but even if regen health is a tank feature, the % of regen is minimum compared other tank heroes with regen habilities.

    specifically for rein, i think giving him more shield health does help him close the gap. However, i think it’s the most basic way of helping him do so. I think the way the developers see it is if he has more shield health then he can slowly walk towards the enemy team while holding his shield up the entire time. Definitely would help me close the gap but I don’t think it’s the most fun buff for rein to get

      They should make the tank passive a 30% reduction in all negative effects. Knockback, CC (duration probably), sleep dart (would be 3.5 seconds instead of 3), anti nade (2.1 seconds or maybe only 70% healing reduction), discord (17.5% damage bonus instead of 25%), etc

      With all due respect, 99% of the people aren't saying tank is weak they are saying it plays badly and is unfun(which is objectively true.) The devs are supposed to hear complaints like that and consider wide sweeping changes not just well maybe if we just buff them again, look at the smaller creators in this scene and the sentiment is clear tank NEEDS BIG CHANGES. No more buffs there is something objectively wrong with 5v5 tanking(not saying that 6v6 was perfect) and just buffing them again leading to the cycle you have stated is not what the community wants.
