Alot of tanks and healers recently besides doomfist We literally only had one tank added. Orisa is the only one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need anymore offensive characters. Sym just got a complete rework and Sombra is getting the same. Most of the roster is offensive characters. There have been five new characters added. Two damage dealers: Sombra and Doomfist Two Supports: Moria and Briggitte (Who is pretty much a frontline character anyway.) One Tank: Orisa. There are only two 'Anchor' characters and one, Orisa, has a low pick up rate. Winston can be used if done properly but even than his low barrier count and skill set makes him more of a dive character. We need another solid tank.

The update that's rolling out in a few hours ACTUALLY combines them into the same category. Sym is moving to DPS with her rework. There are 6 tanks 6 healers and 15 DPS. We don't need more DPS. We need a new tank we haven't seen a new one since March 2017. I kinda consider brigette a tank til she gets fixed Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a front line healer. In ladder play she's played as a support, or a third support/tank hybrid with single DPS. She seldom takes the spot of a tank on a team. She takes the spot of a support or DPS 95% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big reason why torb/mei have generally been trash as well. Those three have always fallen between the categories. I haven't really kept up with the game lately, but is this patch putting in an actual role queue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 It's not exactly role queue, but a looking for Group feature. It's not built into the matchmaker but you can find a group to your specifications then enter basically as a 6 stack (or however many people you assemble in the LFG feature) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a start I guess, but I wish it was actually on matchmaking. I don't want to find a party and queue up with the same people for a bunch of games. I want to queue up as a role and be assigned a team of a certain set of roles. But I get why its hard for them to do that, comps aren't always as simple as 2/2/2, and they probably don't want to upset the DPS-only crowd with longer queue times.
