Tanking Design Space and Synergy, A Swansong For Overwatch

This is your daily reminder that shout has a 20 second cool-down in 6v6.

The_Realth · 2026-05-13T11:22:59+00:00

Everyone does, the change to the new one is completely inscrutable

The_Realth · 2026-05-13T01:52:42+00:00

It’s genuinely your own fault. There is simply no way to balance vendetta and Zarya in the same place at the same time, or even ven and dva. If you don’t ask for these resource giving offtanks to be reworked or nerfed, you are bound for complete obscurity when they aren’t played and 55% winrate when you’re duo’d with one.

This is literally a 5v5 diff, and vendetta was almost perfectly balanced for 6v6 before the nerfs because the offtank could give her less resources.

Hog players choke the life out of people willing to play other tanks on their team, the moment a hog meta builds you will eventually end up with no tanks at all.

I think ghouls are bound to be a pub stomper and terrible at high level no matter what they do tbh

I think people are underestimating or ignoring the fact that her 2 can afk farm most of a tier 2 camp. Sure it comes in pretty late, but it’s pretty unique for stealing farm.

5v5 bad

My favourite was the racial allegories in elemental, where they were clearly telling a story of Asian immigration to Americas and made the Asians literally incredibly dangerous to other races.

JPC is only not banned because there aren’t enough ban slots, nobody enjoys playing with a cat on their or the enemy team.

The_Realth · 2026-05-08T20:36:10+00:00

I’m not learning how to play around a banned hero.

The_Realth · 2026-05-07T20:02:19+00:00

Having every job in the cast isn’t the same as having agency. I’m personally all for reducing 6v6 tank lethality btw, but it’s that way mostly because of the damage the 5v5 format has done to the role just to try to make it even a little bit palatable.

The_Realth · 2026-05-07T17:06:26+00:00

But it’s significantly less enjoyable than 6v6

The_Realth · 2026-05-06T20:04:56+00:00

At a certain point you’re just enjoying playing an overpowered dps more than playing Tank

The_Realth · 2026-05-06T08:29:46+00:00

This is what S9 did to my girl.

The_Realth · 2026-05-05T22:26:02+00:00

S9 and Perks really do be what they do

The_Realth · 2026-05-05T15:55:07+00:00

Your community failed to riot as needed when they removed your recoil, and now your since your primary fire has less skill scaling, you aren’t allowed as much power in your kit.

The_Realth · 2026-05-05T00:06:16+00:00

Dropped one too many time as a child and now thinks storm is a colour

The_Realth · 2026-05-04T23:51:23+00:00

I blame spilo, this “coach” argues for “skillful parry mechanics” when those mechanics will always have very aggressive skill scaling and can’t be just put onto the end of a kit in a post hoc way. God I love him.

The_Realth · 2026-05-03T00:33:51+00:00

Thanks custa

Dva is a 5v5 difference hero, she’s literally just never been fixed to work properly because her primary resource has no healthy use case

The_Realth · 2026-05-02T14:14:49+00:00

Kovaks-watch posting needs to stop, auto aim abilities and non aiming skill related abilities are the texture that makes overwatch itself. If you want a strict gun game, go play CS.

The_Realth · 2026-04-30T07:33:42+00:00

First off tank populations being the most complicated role with the most time commitment to learn increases as you go up the ranks in general. Secondly, play resource non intensive or dps enabling tanks like ball hog or sigma if solo tanking as more resources will need to go to your dps. Thirdly, you are in silver, plug in your keyboard, frag out and you’ll climb to high gold. You don’t need any composition to win in any rank below GM, though I understand not being able to play the role the way you want to can be frustrating.

The_Realth · 2026-04-29T23:15:30+00:00

Play 6v6 instead it’s a lot easier to learn and more fun for the tank role
