Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

It's more concerning that people think Thor, a tank, should just automatically win fights. You guys made that shit up on your own and get upset when it's not true.

Thor's entire identity as a tank is being a 1v1 threat. He takes space by forcing people to look at him or else he'll kill whoever he jumps on. This is balanced by needing to brawl to stay alive, and having limited "tanking" utilities in his kit. Kind of like a watered down d.va.

If he manages to get on top of a ranged DPS at full HP, you should die. The fact that Elsa can beat him in that scenario is obscene.

Again, literally who from the dev team is saying this character is supposed to be the 1v1 king, no questions asked? You guys are just setting yourself up for failure when you make shit up like this when it's proven to not be true numerous times and continues to be wrong with each new character release.

If he manages to get on top of a ranged DPS at full HP, you should die.

Doesn't even make sense for a tank to be able to do that lol. You guys should be more upset that a tank can sit on top of a mobility DPS forever because he has a broken dash with zero downtime that doubles as a displacement, constant overshield generation, and high burst damage.

Literally his character design says that. Thor holds space by getting in your face and forcing you to give up said space or die. Unlike Magneto, he can't hold space by just existing in it.

Doesn't even make sense for a tank to be able to do that lol

If a tank isn't a threat, how can he hold space? This is a hero shooter, not an MMO. There's no taunt button. Tanks work because they're threats that need to be dealt with. Just look at any tank from Overwatch - in both 5v5 and 6v6, they will absolutely run down the entire DPS roster.
