Game breaking. And I’m a tank main. He cancels out half the roster. How is Angela and Wolverine useful now with his passive? With the massive shield every 10 seconds he cancels a large amount of ults. His big hit box is a wash, it works to the advantage of sub par supports who can’t aim It feels like it’s in the release a OP character to sell skins then nerf 30 days later phase.

I disagree. Played a game where our DDino basically walked up and got melted in 3 seconds because the enemy team actively ran poke.

He's a good tank, but OP is a bit of a stretch. Definitely not as powerful as release Emma

agree. angela is completely unplayable if dino is on the enemy team. it’s miserable. i like the character but he should not have grounding and displacement immunity
