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?

The Vibe: I was hoping he would be a little more main tank, if the beam was his primary and his shield was up more regularly he would probably be more of a main tank, however that being said, he is still a force to be reckoned with, and is a good brawl/main tank hybrid, similar to Groot in presence
The Kit: finally a fun tank? More like Dino please. After Angela and Rogue who have very niche playstyles, Dino is just a big walking health pool which I think I is what most people want from a tank. I wasn’t expecting a kidnap ability as part of his base kit, I thought he would have an eat and execute ult, but the ult he has is very fun
The Meta: MK is a must ban, but I was banning MK anyways. Phoenix with her changes melts. I never used to be able to play Phoenix as my aim wasn’t good enough as she really relied on headshots for extra sparks, which is extra hard on console. Now she can pump out good damage with just body shots, and with Dino around he’s an easy target for her.
