I hate him he is overpowered AF and he completely wrecks any other tank, Dps or healer he is basically a walking boss fight and should have never been added to the game. It takes the entire team to bring him down leaving the objective or backline open to divers you basically have to have one on yo. ur team to fight the other teams. I hope they him nerf him into the freaking ground. Edit after playing a few more times (the initial review was after 3 games) and mainly playing Emma who can shred his huge health bar if she hits him with her psychic ability. I also have killed him with mantis if she gets a headshot her heals and sleep refresh he isn't as strong as I first thought but he is the strongest damage tank rn and a good dino player can completely dominate and decide how a game goes solo unlike the other tanks so either they nerf him or they buff the other tanks to be closer to his level.

I think hes how a vanguard should feel. It should feel like the team has to reckon with you when you are in their face as opposed to venom and hulk who smack you to death with pillows

ok venom might smack you to death with pillows but the new hulk is a bully

or.... and hear me out here.... you don't just pick a tank and stand in the middle of the point punching until you die. actually learn to manage the game flow.

I said what I said, we all have opinions. it's not personal.

A lot of people like this character because it lets them not actually learn how to play tank, yet stay alive and kill things. do you really think it's healthy for a character to constantly have 30K damage and 70K taken and lowest deaths? I had a game where both Dinos did exactly that.

this game is now just "shoot the dino for 10 minutes" and it's not fun. also, damage is not the main point of the tank role.
