They should rework their dev team ngl.

[ArthurEverling]

The problem with playing tank is not the lack of “Tankiness”. It is the counter swapping meta, and the uneven power balance of the roles due to a single tank. People with much louder voices than mine have said it plenty of times.

We didn't ask to make tanks better. We asked for them to be fun again

[dartanyandrinkall]

I feel like blizzard are catering to tank players for one last patch until they swithc to 6v6 cuz this is insane

[sparquisdesade]

ppl didn't want tanks better, they wanted them to feel fun

[BigPro]

Can’t wait for dps to get buffed because tanks aren’t dying then they will buff support to keep tanks alive better and the repeat the cycle

[JesusIsELOHIM]

Overwatch 2 was ruined when 6v6 was removed

[coldshot]

It seems like the devs can't find that middle sweet spot for the tank role with this 5v5 format its either they are really strong at the cost of the other roles or they become very weak at the cost of the tank role itself. If you can't find a solution since the game came out they have to admit the mistake of changing the format of 6v6 to 5v5 its clearly not working as they intended to work.

[daviddiett]

It was already pretty bad for the identity of whatever "Tank" means nowadays and the healing being unable to keep up with all the pressure.
Now they've somehow made it worse.

[Pauldoran]

You know it’s a good day when bro you wack uploads

[UberCroz]

It will always either be a tank determined game or a game where it sucks to play tank as long as it's 5v5.
OW devs need to just give it up already with these ridiculous patches trying to make it work with 1 tank and just GO BACK TO 6V6

[ace]

why do the tanks do so much fucking damage. they should have buffed survivability, nerfed damage, nerfed utility. tanks cant do the most damage, be unkillable and have the best team support abilities.

[MichaelJones-rzsw]

All this patch did was make tanks more of a pain the ass to deal with.

[mr.adiicted]

Yup i said the same thing, now it's up to tank if the team wins or not

[imperialdra-mon]

you cant complain about rein he is only playble now with all these buffs

[voodude]

Hot take: people complained about tanks in 6v6 days as well, and going back to that wouldn't fix the perceived problem. They switched to 5v5 partly because people hated playing tank and it messed with queue times. Bottom line is people are still playing because deep down they know it's not a big deal and the game is a blast. If it was really as bad as players act, it would be dead and the complainers wouldn't be commenting on videos like this because they wouldn't be playing the game. If you want a game where everyone is just as easy to kill as everyone else, an asymmetrical hero shooter isn't for you because that's the point of a tank.

[tszyuk]

It’s genius how dev team adds back double shield without adding back double shield

[heaven]

Played open roles comp and have had every team have 3 tanks at least love the love for tanks but sheesh.

[extofer]

They did do it in multiple patches. What are you talking about? This patch is the worst by far but just 2 patches ago, they were buffing tanks.

The problem is that nobody wants raid bosses as tanks. And the more they do these patches where the power creep turns into a power sprint, the more 6v6 seems like it needs to be brought back.

[rainbowdash]

So what you’re saying is that the tank is acting as the enemy boss. I thought that was the whole point of 5v5.
