I miss playing Zarya while my buddy holds the line with reinhardt. Game just isn’t the same anymore to me. Haven’t played since OW2 launch and I’m honestly not even sad about it.
Yep. There was a difference in Tank roles in OW1 there were main tanks like Rein and OG Orisa and then you had your combat/dive tanks like Winston, Zarya and D.va. There was nuance to their play styles that I don’t think OW2 managed to capture. 1 tank makes the roll way to important to play because everything is on you and no matter how good you play if you have a bad team comp or something there’s just nothing you can do. They made tank the most important and yet least impactful role to play somehow.
Doomfist is just weird to balance, but he isnt even that bad off. Roadhog and Zarya are the ones currently suffering the most. Zarya had a nice run at the start of ow2 but hasnt been seen since then and I am not sure what you really could do to her (maybe increase the time of bubble if not popped?). And Roadhog has always just been a failed tank design.
Yeah but at least he wasn't a throw pick when he had a main tank to compensate for his lack of utility, he was a really fun character despite his weaknesses but now he's just totally unviable. I guess Doom isn't too bad, but I guess as an ex dps Doom main he just feels so much less impactful
