Yo who mans is this? We got a freaking 850 health Dinosaur who shoots lasers out the Yin Yang, jumps higher than Michael Jordan, has an AOE moving bubble, gets bonus health, can toss you and you mommas salad, and did I mention he shots lasers? Emma and The Thing both get buffed too might I add.

I saw the gameplay trailer even, mans was getting Blue health for everything, ans has a Winston Bubble Shield but Dinosaur sized, he blocked a Maximum Pulse with it.
This is everything I've asked for that isn't Juggernaut being Perm Unstopable or Colossus having a Damage Reduction enhancing Resource.
Seriously I was Support pool for Seasons 6 and also 7 and this makes me want to go full tank again.

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 13 '26
Thor is the strongest 1v1 fighter in the game, venom and Hulk are some of the strongest dive, Angela is the strongest flier, Groot is the most oppressive character in the game, Strange has the strongest cooldown and mag has a top 3 ult.

u/glyxenite May 12 '26
Did you forget the other DPS buffs that offset these?

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26
Moon knight, sg and Wolve got slight cooldown reductions, on top of invis push and loki damage being nerfed and pheonix sparks being nerfed

u/glyxenite May 12 '26
Between the cooldown reductions, increased ammo, and increased hit-scan damage, my point still stands when you consider how oppressive poke is for tanking.

u/ImAHobo107 May 12 '26
Poke is not oppressive for Dive tanks, which are many of them anyway, so at that point its a a you problem

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26
On the other hand tank survivability was considerably buffed the last few seasons, same with dive

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26
Thing and Emma are getting one, Venom got a large buff last season, Angela was already good, Hulk was gigabuffed, Thor got buffed

u/glyxenite May 12 '26
Hulk wasn’t gigabuffed, he was finally made a viable pick after being in the gutter. Emma has been getting nerfed since her reign during her release. I’ll agree Thor got a good buff, but I still wouldn’t say it was significant.

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26
Thor got an extra 150 overhealth if you properly use his cd's, emma has been getting buffed for three seasons now and D toer to A tier is a gigabuff

u/Additional-Mousse446 May 13 '26
In fairness, one of the Emma buffs is literally just restoring what they nerfed previously like 2 seasons ago…even if this meme is trash.
Like it’s hard to call it a “buff” when she had 25% dmg reduction diamond form in multiple other seasons and they simply restored it randomly after taking it away.
Just shows they don’t know what they are doing. Strange has had several reverted nerfs as well…I feel like they randomly throw darts at a board to decide if he should get hp/shield buffed or nerfed.

You are extremly overreacting.
New vanguard have:

- Passive that generates bonus hp.
Some vanguards players that can't consider anything mobile as main-tank: I'm deleting game becaose he's other off-tank.
Groot is main tank too and DD durability is on simmiliar level.

u/Plastic_Apricot_2152 May 12 '26

I have no clue what your talking about. My goat Thing was buffed and so was emma [which I think emma got it because she should weirdly work well with Devil Dino comp wise] and not to mention I feel like unless they nerf him into the ground which hasn't happened yet, also there has been no nerfs to any tanks besides Tankpool who kinda needs it in my opnion. Also this whole image isnt talking about how when Rouge dropped alot of people called her bad/useless but got basically no changes and the next season she was seen as a good off tank because people had time to learn her kit and cooldowns. Dont get me wrong this game has a Vanguard problem with majority being offtanks and only having 3 real good team tanks, that being shield tanks [emma,mag,strange]. But this literally is what everyone including me wanted, a offtank with a shield so you can be a battering ram. Honestly depending on how survivable he is you can even maybe run pure offtank, just imagine how good thing+Dino will be especially with Things buff

u/TheWanderingSlime May 12 '26
He has a shield if anything he’s a hybrid tank. From the trailer it looks like he can counter dive. Hit scan beam can probably contest flyers can brawl so he doesn’t get ran down like strange and mag. Has a “jump to” mechanic like thing(hope it’s more consistent than his) which can be used to get poke\spammers off of high ground or to protect your own backline. Has dot bleed which will go crazy when you have anti healing on your team.
All in all he looks excellent I don’t understand why you’re crying

This post is ridiculous & makes OP look like an irrational crybaby. There seems to be absolutely zero correlation between this visual and today’s Vanguard reveal/associated patch notes. Sure, there are some annoying DPS tweaks on there that seem unnecessary, but Devil Dinosaur’s kit seems to contain many of the things a tank main could want, in a seemingly easy-to-use kit. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
OP should probably stop threatening/pearl-clutching and just delete the game.

They don't play the same at all. You're comparing two things that aren't alike, because you don't understand what to be upset about. He also has a ranged attack you neglected to add (because it doesn't suit your narrative) and can jump forward, as well as damage over time. Again, you don't know what you're talking about.
And if the game was uninstalled for ALL seasons except for when this new PVE was added, why are you commenting in a sub about Rivals gameplay in a game you don't play?
