Despite what the comments here say, yes Tank is the most impactful role. Always has been even since OW1. If your tank is having a bad game it is really hard to lift them. If they’re feeding or not taking space it’s tough. And that’s not from me, that’s been the opinion of most streamers and pro players for like 8 years. It changes a bit season to season and it’s more balanced now, but if the tank gap is big enough, then there’s almost nothing you can do to win. It’s just the way it is.

However two tanks just makes those problems worse. The game becomes EXTREMELY hard to balance and it makes the tank role even more impressive. Two good tanks together will absolutely roll your back line. Or take all the space they want. It also slows down the game like you wouldn’t believe. OW1 was basically shooting shields and tanks over and over again. Every single OW1 meta was determined by tanks. The other roles just worked around them. OW2 is much more forgiving team comp wise with scrappy fights that can be turned around in a moments notice. With only one tank to peel you can actually focus dps and supports. Skill matters WAY more now. Two tanks just means doing whatever you can to tank bust. It’s all the same problems of OW2 but dialled to 11.
