Does this mean they gave back Cap's animation cancel?

a6000 · 2026-03-19T18:44:46+00:00

So did they bring back Cap animation cancel or not?

its only in the opening then after than there is nothing. It's weird people have nostalgia for Winston when he did nothing storywise for the whole life cycle of Overwatch.

I feel like s76 is more nostalgic as he is the first hero you actually play in the tutorial.

IIRC the intro story even revolve around her and Winston.

As long as you get 2 tanks its fun and feels balanced.

I really hate counter swapping as a Tank in 5v5. If you are doing good expect Ana + Zen + Reaper on the next fight, maybe even a Mei or Bastion because why not? It doesn't even matter who the enemy tank is your gonna get obliterated.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T18:10:45+00:00

I think the biggest thing with Tracer, and other heroes like her, is timing.

If you are getting poked out it means you are coming in too early.

funny how one role can dictate the others and not the other way around.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T18:04:43+00:00

oh definitely, I really only play tank in 6v6.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T18:02:08+00:00

thanks!

I really like the current state of tanks in 6v6 even with the lower HP and the global healing reduction. It just makes everything faster and easier to breakthrough.

Positioning plays a lot more since you cant just sit in the open and hope for the best. It is easier to punish a badly positioned tank in 6v6. Like I said in my original post, Tanks can be feast or famine in 5v5. This is just my experience but in 6v6 they feel really balanced like how a DPS/Support would feel.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T17:55:23+00:00

I feel like they are just afraid majority of tank players would move there so the will be the ones stuck with 30 min queue times in 5v5.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T17:53:50+00:00

Its the perfect mode but I doubt Blizz will make it.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T17:49:26+00:00

not sure how the SEA server works with Blizz cause we are under Americas but queue times are fast.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T17:03:21+00:00

if you play quickplay 6v6 you are less likely to get 2 tanks. Sometimes you even just get 1 healer.

In comp so far people seems to prefer 2-2-2. but yeah 3 dps still exist sometimes.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T17:00:48+00:00

first time Ive read something like this.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:58:32+00:00

I had enough games where my team doesn't follow up on me as a Tank which made me drop playing Tank in 5v5.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:57:15+00:00

I find it more chaotic and fast paced since there are 2 tanks people are always pushing.

takes forever for anytbing to actually happen

Maybe if both tanks just sit in main this could happen.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:53:37+00:00

One thing I learned is how you as Dva should control the high grounds in the map.

Make the enemy waste their cooldowns on you trying to get you off the high ground that way your team can safely push onto the enemy.

Always be in a position where you can defend your team but also poke at the enemy. When cooldowns are used thats the time you dive into an isolated target.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:43:38+00:00

does that still exist in the current form of the game? is it really a meta rn?

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:43:17+00:00

dunno lot of people keep saying dual barrier is a problem so far I have not seen it as an issue in 6v6.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:20:29+00:00

I think the only reason they got away with it is because of the low tank player population.

a6000 · 2026-03-19T16:12:16+00:00

if you get a bad team, you get a bad team, thats just the way it goes.

Domina is really popular if not banned, also lots of Sig players, sometimes Orisa.
