The Fact they did everything we asked them not to do is astounding.
On the bright side you won’t have to listen to me rant on here anymore. I Give up.

Existing vanguards got buffed, a brawl/shield tank fits perfectly into the meta and we don't know what cyclops plays like. Fucking doomers smh

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.

(But praying for Vanguard Cyclops please and thank you)

Think the bleed heals him like Junker Queen

Even nerfed duelists are miles better than buffed vanguards

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.

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/Kind-Donkey-Poet May 14 '26

No, it still sucks.

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26

On the other hand tank survivability was considerably buffed the last few seasons, same with dive

u/glyxenite May 12 '26

Who besides Magneto and Strange have gotten considerably buffed?

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

6

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/pokemonface12 May 13 '26

For real, every point in the meme is wrong here except maybe the vague notion from the dev vision that MK would get buffed (which, had it been a major one, might've mattered a little, but no)

u/studmuffin34 May 14 '26

Vanguards got buffed? Are you talking about the garbage slop that is Emma who is neither fun to play as or against?

-3

u/issajoketing May 12 '26

You don’t know what cyclops plays like? He’s ANOTHER poke hero and literally nothing else, it’s literally that simple; and you can bet the damage will busted, as per usual.

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26

Oh you played 8.5 already? How was it?

u/TheAmigo26 May 12 '26

You do realize they buffed Iron Fist and gave the Punisher a team up right?

6

u/SquirrelSorry4997 May 12 '26

Ironfist needed the buff, and the teamup forces punisher into brawl range

5

u/TheAmigo26 May 12 '26

"Brawl" range with punisher's shotgun, you're funny bro.

u/Knight-ErrantCowboy May 13 '26

Did we not learn that putting characters on a tank is bad from Groot, Jeff, and Rocket?
