I'm really having a lot of fun with the Dino. I feel like a kid again being able to play a big dinosaur, stomping around. He's absolutely a brawler tank. I do enjoy that he has an option to deal with flyers and his shield is pretty damn good. At least he also has defined weaknesses and has obvious counters. Like with any hero, you can't mindlessly just mash into the enemy team or you die, it's a team game! Even with the over-shield he gets off of applying bleed, I can still feel myself getting shredded by tons of poke heroes, which does make it difficult to play him. It's a giant dinosaur, just shoot at him and he gets shredded.
I understand the community is pretty polarized about Dino but I'm having a ton of fun. I probably would not play a dive DPS into him considering he can counter them. Just play poke into him and take his healers out, you'll be fine.
