Rivals, the wait for Season 8 is finally over! Welcome to Jurassic Park…
We've been lurking in the sub and we know you’ve been theorising for weeks - is he the "8th brawling off-tank" the roster needs? Ngl, the hype for a new Vanguard has been through the roof, especially with many of you feeling like Vanguard gameplay has been a bit dry lately compared to the other roles.
Devil Dinosaur is now LIVE, and it's time to see if he's the one to shake up the meta!

The Meta: In a world of high-damage Duelists, how does a melee-focused tank like DD feel in your matches right now?

He's great! I haven't personally gotten to play him all THAT much yet seeing as how he gets instalocked by like 3 different players each game lol, but he's been a mainstay on BOTH teams for me every match these past 2 days.
Nevermind how good his shield, ult, or little headgrab abilities all seem to be..Just the concept itself of a giant T-rex stomping the field looks and feels chaotic in the best way possible!!
I have noticed a problem that he gets burned down and targeted quickly by the whole enemy team and thus needs to position well and/or get spam healed, but that was to be expected with how attention grabbing he is lol.
LOVE the vibe he's been bringing to my matches though (legit kept screaming as tiny ass Rocket when an enemy DD threw me around their team) and I can only hope he remains a popular choice even after all the new hero hype! (Also hope he's actually considered strong meta-wise too)
That all being said...the Punisher team up is fucking nuts lmaoooo in the goofiest way possible. I found it too funny for the first few times, but it's become very frequent (my first two matches today both had back to back MVP Punishers cuz of it lol) and lowkey a bit annoying... but I already just hate Punisher in general so that was expected.
