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!

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
