They need to lock in or it might genuinely be jover until next yr.

They need to lock in or it might genuinely be jover until next yr.

I'm not trying to doompost just going to rant about the issues that are compounding on this game we all like.

The reality is:

Matchmaking has always been an issue for many. Balance has been so lackluster on OP characters Elsa and Bucky running rampant for seasons now, whilst being 'careful' on heroes like mr.fanta/blade/stratpool etc. Damage and healing being too high, forcing supports to healbot and if not tanks just immediately explode.

Add to this the fact that after only adding 1 support jubilee in 5.5 months we get a full season with a dps release. By the time a support releases in s11 it will be 1 support in 7 months. There are a plethora of other issues like skin distribution, optimisation,toxicity/throwing, smurfs.

All these things are just compounding and NetEase need to lock in and solve it as fast as possible, not to mention all the competition for the casual playerbase on the horizon.

Ps. I main tank btw 95% of my time is on tanks.

Peni is genuinely so useless into Wolv now.

Wolv goes into the middle of my whole team and doesn't die because I need 2FA to stun somebody ffs.(celestial)

He's not even scared of your nest either because he knows he can jump in grab you and get out before your drones detonate or you manage to stun him.

I didn't plan on playing much anyways but damn this just shows she is in a bad spot.

After about 1hr on the hood I'm seeing a few kinks with his kit

Ok I'm on console so ill use ps5 binds, all in all he seems very fun but a few issues have cropped up for me and if I'm misunderstanding pls correct me.

#1 We cannot control the activation of the overdrive mode.

#2 The fact that we can't control overdrive results in activation at inconvenient moments where I might have overextended or need to shield for team, and with overdrive you can't use L2(mantle of oblivion) to shield. So you resort to fading and not helping your team.

#3 What is the need to have 2 buttons assigned to the overdrive when it is always more dps.

I'd appreciate any tips or ways to circumvent this I've tried binding other buttons but that doesn't work. So it seems to be intentional that once you're in overdrive you have to commit but for me that seems wrong unless there was a way to toggle it on once on 100 energy.
Thanks.

This is why you can't let pros/pro coaches dictate balance.

These guys agree that dps is the weakest role in the game by far??? and that Tanks/Supports need nerfs???

Are we deadass, nobody wants to tank so lets make them worse💀

Up 3-0 teammate just says game is too easy I cba.....

In no universe is this game not a psychological experiment, I dont play for a week come back and some guy just decides he can't be bothered.

We are up 3-0 and crusing with 3min to spare and this guy just types in chat 'this game is too easy I cba, im going on another game'. He just leaves and we actually hold it for a while till last minute but we just can't do enough.

We then lose 5-3, this is celestial bruh and I look through his history he left a game yesterday too. Like wtf is the point of playing this game and why isn't this guy banned for at least a week?

They called me a mad man a week ago when patch notes dropped.

I posted this (Brothers I fear we went from D tier to F tier, worst tank in the game now) as soon as patch notes dropped because it seemed obvious.

So many in the comments thought I was agenda posting, nope. Worst tank in the game purely through powercreep and a terrible ult.

I'm tired of this permanent poke meta and i don't even play dive, again really?

Played a few games and already know I won't play much this season and before everyone points and says im a sour dive main im not, I play primarily brawl tanks.

Just another season of poke damage forcing tank to play shield tanks and eventhough I dislike DD and Blackcat now that they are much less effective, especially Cat. The game basically devolves into poke and triple support that is it because there is no dive to challenge Phoenix/cyclopse/elsa etc

Of course in elo below celestial other characters will still be viable but still poke will be the best option. Every damn game is triple support with poke or just pure pokeslop and whoever has the better poke dps wins.

Coordinated play like MRC makes it even more apparent id assume but i guess i'll find out tomorrow. This fking sucks, just give one season of brawl where characters like mr.fent,ironfist,Rogue,Thor,thing,blade etc can thrive.

Brothers I fear we went from D tier to F tier, worst tank in the game now :(

Now that the season 8.5 patch notes are out.

Anglea got a huge buff and Rogue got a buff too, no Thor ult buff.

We now might actually be the worst Tank and I really struggled this season in celestial too, RIP.

Overshield used to make Thor special now he's just mid because everyone gets it.

I'm an avid Thor enjoyer(150hrs) however I can't fail to notice that every single game there are dps with near similar dmg blocked as me on Thor and I think that's because of the increase in overshield in this role.

Zhiyong has considerably nerfed Thor's survivability via overshield but also given so many dps especially increased overshield. Magik has the same maximum overshield as Thor at 150 with no reasource meter like Thorforce, Daredevil 100 overhealth that can almost be infintely cycled with crazy movement same thing with Blackcat she gets 50 on her abilities+ headshot damage reduction(bad luck), Moonknight gets 75 overshield on a 5s cooldown.

Like at what point does this make any sense?

Turns out no tank counters Dino. And he just makes tanking miserable.

This is a pro match btw just happened and Dino was the win condition, pick or ban every game so far. The so called counter Emma just went 0-10, a tank that makes playing other tanks less enjoyable because of a kidnap. Have we been here before?

When tenacity was needed the most it vanished.

For context I never see the Jeff(blindspot) for those who will inevitably say you shouldn't have 1v2. You can pause at any time he is in my blindspot all the way. I see starlord retreat and assumed I could take bucky out in the 1v1 and we'd have a 6v5 advantage on the push because bucky would walk back from spawn. Not even mad I died just funny tenacity didn't proc at all.

How do I play my tanks into Dino?

I'm a tank main currently in gm1 and happy for everyone enjoying Dino. I just can't find a way to play around him outside of banning him.

Thor - I feel I have to keep such a wide distance that im either giving up too much space or permanently dead because of his kidnap and bleed. I could stay at a distance and just awakening shot but im just feeding support ult at that point also hitting supports feels near impossible because they sit close behind dino and take no damage.
I can't dive the supports either because he just grabs+shield+bodyblock and im guaranteed dead.

Mag- Well he just walks on me, best I feel I can do is bubble my dino and support him.

Peni- On defense she feels great against dino but again in this elo people just immediately hunt the nest and I have to kite back giving up space and she's map dependant.(probably only one I feel I have a chance on)

Cap- Again same problems as Thor especially with diving, supports I think have realised if they sit close enough to dino he can just turn 180 grab shield and guarantee a kill.

Rogue- Same as Thor but worse because she has no way to do dmg at range except her flying kick.

Tankpool- Pretty bad this season now that they nerfed his gun dmg and ult, eventhough dino is a guaranteed jackpot it is super difficult to get value out of.

PS. I honestly feel like im a handicap to my team playing these heroes and banning my teammates dino isn't something I feel is right.
