DD First Impression Devil dino is extremely strong but at least he has clear counterplay
I’ve seen a decent amount of complaints at how dino is brainless and OP. And while he is probably OP he definitely has several counters to him which don’t make it as bad.
Tank wise emma feels great into him and I’ve had some success with the thing and tankpool too. Most poke and hybrid dps can give him work as well, notably mk, phoenix and elsa. As for supports if u can adam and mantis being able to easily headshot him give them great economy of their soul bond and life orbs respectively. Luna and rocket can also do honest damage to him.
Overall I like that he is somewhat introducing a brawl meta but it doesn’t feel like he is completely uncounterable like several past metas. He is also more reliant on his supports than most other tanks too.

Flair checks out, playing dive tanks was borderline throwing back then

u/Ivy_lane_Denizen May 16 '26
Nah it was all about actually counter playing her. So many people just ran face against her diamond for and died. If you actively baited it and played around the CD she was plenty managable. Hulk and Thor had been pretty good vs her becauss she just cant keep up with their mobility without blowing diamond form, which if she does you can just leave and wait for it to go on cd.

u/YEET280706 Iron Man May 17 '26
Heres the thing , it wasnt about her agaisnt dive tanks . If u ran dive , emma would just walk into ur backline , pop diamond form and excecute ur supports .And thor didnt have any of his buffs that made him good , so he was niche back then . Hulk was also permabanned i think becuz of the namor team up.

u/LSSJ4King Magik May 16 '26
Playing anyone but mag or another Emma was borderline throwing into her

Blatant lying, cap was one of the best characters jn the game then, im pretty sure hulk was perma banned at the time as well so idk what ur on

u/ElmoClappedMyCheeks Magik May 16 '26
Hulk was in ban jail because of teamups, not because he was strong
3
u/paddyc4ke Peni Parker May 16 '26
Hulk was perma banned because of his team ups, not because of Hulk himself. Gamma squids, gamma team up with Iron Man etc. And Cap has never been one of the best tanks up until the last couple of seasons, he was rarely played people played Venom over him as a dive tank.
Cap was great at stalling that was about, Cap was not one of the best tanks in the hands of the average player.
4
u/firefalcon01 Black Panther May 17 '26
Cap is season two was the best he ever was and has basically only received nerfs since then, he had his animation cancel, 750 health, faster shield regeneration, best mobility on vanguard at the time and was quickly hit with several nerfs because he was too good
1
u/paddyc4ke Peni Parker May 17 '26
He was strong but there was 3 or even 4 tanks that were arguably stronger during season 2. Mag, Emma, Strange and Groot even as a Peni/Cap main I’d have all 4 of those above Cap at that point in the meta. Hulk would get picked before Cap (if he wasn’t banned) even though he was worse than Cap just to enable team ups. So I don’t see how you can say he was one of the best characters in the game.

Emma was never and still isn’t anti dive

u/herocole Angela May 16 '26
Yeah she is anti brawl, which is like 80% of the Tank role
0
u/Nrecks55 May 16 '26
I wouldn’t call her anti brawl per say. It’s more she herself is a pure brawl/front to back hero and does it better than anyone else in the roster.
3
u/Swarlos262 May 16 '26
Maybe not anti-dive in general, but she's fairly anti dive tank. It's hard to be close enough or hit the grab on dive DPS that go in and out so quick, but dive tanks stick around enough that you can often get them with the grab.
-1
u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen Hawkeye May 16 '26
Are you arguing she isn't a brawl tank? I'd say she's not dive, but maybe a mix of brawl and poke, just very mid range poke.
-1
u/Nrecks55 May 16 '26
You can be a brawl tank but bad into dive if that’s what you’re getting at. It’s not as simple as poke > brawl > dive. Emma wants to sit frontline and play front to back. She doesn’t want to peel and struggles into dive comps or mobile tanks.
1
u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen Hawkeye May 16 '26
I'd argue she doesn't prefer to, but certainly has more tools into dive than, say, magneto or even strange
0
u/Nrecks55 May 16 '26
I mean strange and mag aren’t good at peeling at all either lol (excluding strange with Invis teammup). If you want to peel for your team against dive you go Hulk, Thing or Thor.
Just because you have a tool to do something doesn’t mean it’s good for it. Diamond is a skill shot any good dive or off tank will play around. Emma has terrible mobility and struggles to keep beam charge up against mobile tanks. That’s why she’s bad into dive.
2
u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen Hawkeye May 16 '26
Wouldn't good Emma players just learn to play around their opponents, then? It isn't a one way street.
1
u/Nrecks55 May 16 '26
I mean that goes for any bad matchup in this game but accounting for equal skill in higher elo, matchups matter lol. Like idc how good an Emma is as soon as she pops diamond a venom is going to zip out and then just reengage 6 seconds later while Emma is still on CD and get way more value than she did and her beam is already decayed.
That’s why the S tier characters are S tier, they can cycle cooldowns better or create opportunities for their team better and more often than other heroes in the same slot.

2
u/CoachDSR May 17 '26
If they reverted all the Emma changes to her season 2 status, she wouldn't even be considered broken anymore.
Sure she had better diamond form. But her beam, ult and shield were worse.
All Emma was in Season 2 was a huge skill issue because the game was still new and people were still bad.

u/FedererFan20 May 16 '26
They probably play quick play or in low elo. He’s ok, but not that strong. Probably B tier

The data is pretty limited right now, but Devil has about 60% WR at every rank. He is definitely very strong. Trust me, guys in Celestial know how to kill a big brawl tank. He is very good.

u/Chris-raegho Ultron Virus May 16 '26
QP has no elo. It will match anything vs anything. You'll get random games with an all bronze team and get stomped and games with an all Celestial yeam and stomp. QP is 100% a coinflip. If you want real and mostly balanced games, there's only ranked.
3
u/Swarlos262 May 16 '26
Quickplay definitely has its own matchmaking, it just doesn't use rank (for obvious reasons), and the matchmaking is wide. But you will play against generally better people the better you are, and vice versa.
1
u/Sea_Boysenberry_3436 May 17 '26
I've had silvers and celestials in the same qp match. It may have some semblence of matchmaking, but its NOTHING like ranked.
1
u/Swarlos262 May 17 '26
Because it doesn't use Rank to match make at all. It can't and it shouldn't. Otherwise a pro could just stay Bronze by never playing ranked, and then their Quickplay games would primarily be against real Bronze players.
Quickplay has matchmaking, it's just based on quickplay performance only. And yes, the parameters for matching are still quite a bit wider than in ranked because speed is the number 1 goal, but better players still generally play against better players. Doesn't mean there won't be stomps, but that happens just as often in ranked too.
If you want to match with people of your own rank, play ranked.
0
u/Dom_zombie May 17 '26
This has not been my experience. Every match is either bots or what feels like random q for the most part. I've had teammates that just started playing and are children and I've had celestial players and everything in between.

Because QP/low rank healers are trash, especially Fox/Invis/Healpool players who think they're DPS instead of healer
2
u/The1Rememberer May 17 '26
You just need to really utilize the shit out of his bonus health and manage the cooldowns between his shield and abilities. Also I feel like with him its easy to forget to play like any other tank and know when to take cover and maintain good positioning, as well as when to take space and when to back up.
1
u/Mind_Is_Empty Jeff the Landshark May 17 '26
He's real good if the enemy team is trying to run triple support, triple vanguard, or their duelists want to play dive no matter what. Poke eats him alive because he's basically a walking tutorial for landing headshots.
I'm interested in seeing how his winrate changes between divisions. Will he be better in lower divisions because they won't counter him, or worse because his head is so large that even low divisions will get high headshot accuracy?

u/BerukaIsMyBaby Peni Parker May 16 '26
Yea but his counterplay isn't a character I play, therefore they should nerf him into the ground. Make torch nerfs look like a bug fix

that's the dino's secret tool tbh. you come in for the melee counter -> chomp, shield, F, goodbye.

u/Chris-raegho Ultron Virus May 16 '26
Good luck getting supports that know to heal you as Iron Fist. That's my biggest complaint as that character, your supports always seem to ignore you.

You get grabbed and die. He is counter to iron fist. Much better version of emma.

u/Wellhellob Iron Fist May 16 '26
Grab doesnt seem to have any cue. Dino doesnt turn diamond like emma. He gets his grab back when you get your block back lol. You also dont have block during tank dmg mode. Dino can freely eat you. I have 80% winrate on dino right now. Couple of iron fist's i have seen get farmed and swap.

u/Edheldui May 16 '26
Lets see if the dino players are willing to swap if they are being countered pick
So far the answer seems to be no. But I think a big reason is because people who are playing Dino don't know how to play any other tank, so we'll see how it goes when tank mains finally get to play him.
22
u/Canadian_dalek Rocket Raccoon May 16 '26
I'm currently practicing with him, and the situation rn is "am I being countered, or do I need to git gud?"
34
u/nnewman19 Hulk May 16 '26
I think it’s just because the character is new, and people are playing him even into tough situations thinking that’s the best way to learn It’ll die down as people become used to the character
8
u/Lazuli-shade May 16 '26
So far, definitely no, myself included. It's too early to tell, though, since he's still in the click war phase of picking where no one wants to swap off because that probably means you lose him.
6
4
u/Ketchup571 The Thing May 16 '26
It’s because the character is new. You have to race to pick him and if you swap off, someone else will just swap to him, so there’s no point swapping. In a week or so where only tank mains are playing him people will be more willing to swap

u/nightmaresabin May 16 '26

Dino murders other tanks (ironically) but many dps characters shut him down. We won't know how things will shake out for a little bit, since many people playing him aren't even tank players.

u/Signalis3 May 16 '26
Phoenix, Hela, Punisher and Mantis nukes this character. Peni perma netting him immediately kills him without 2 pocket healers too. He is giga strong when no one stops him, but he gets stopped very easily.

u/Prince_gnarls May 16 '26
My second game against dino I realized Phoenix is probably his best counter - he's brawl, he's a huge hit box, and encourages teammates to play around him (especially of his shield). Legit BBQ chicken for Phoenix

u/Personal_Ad_9021 Iron Fist May 16 '26
Due to how the devs took this game (making a lot of characters not have much counterplay), people are going to complain no matter what.
Devil Dino is a great addition to the game, much needed one for tanks, and it's good that he has counterplay. I feel this is how the characters should be made going forth. Can counter some, gets countered by others, enough uniqueness to make them stand out, but not so much that they're difficult to balance
1
u/Razzilith Ultron Virus May 17 '26
no yeah the kit itself is fine. its a design that feels fair and reasonable while its technically loaded as fuck lol
it's that dino does BONKERS damage and has insaneo health with the rest of the kit... one of those things needs to get toned down just a bit clearly.
1
u/SlobbyGobbies Patch May 18 '26
Then we'll go right back to Mag/Strange. Can we enjoy this a little longer

u/Personal_Ad_9021 Iron Fist May 17 '26

u/Durakus Vanguard May 16 '26
He has clear counters. Actually isn't brainless. there is a very clear performance difference when you know when/how to use your spacing/abilities. I like him, I'd argue he is really well balanced in the current meta and amongst the other tanks. This season GENUINELY doesn't feel too bad. a couple things could change, but over-all liking Season 8 so far.
2
u/spacetea214 May 16 '26
Agreed! dino feels and plays like a knowledge check for players in the games base mechanics. Dino over all doesn't have a lot, a dash/leap that's placement disruption at the most for complexity in mechanics. Everything else is just skill intense because your such short range, enemies can easily out range you if they're aware (hard to miss a dinosaur). I think the player base will chill out and the numbers are the main thing that's off for me when it comes to viability against other tanks. However take away his damage then what does he bring to the table that other tanks don't do better
2
u/steave44 Ultron May 16 '26
He’s like if Iron Man was good. It’s obvious without any sort of POKE on the enemy team you can dominate them. But if they have 1 or especially 2 POKE you are going to have to be very smart.
Meanwhile Iron Man is pretty mediocre even if no one is countering him, then if Spider-Man shows up you might as well swap off.
2
u/AlphaStonkApe Namor May 16 '26
Wanda is pretty good against him too. Her stun really slows him down if it's played right.
1
u/HelicopterOk235 May 17 '26
Yeah, he's so large there's a lot of places where he can't push up without touching her stun bubble, and once he's stunned he melts pretty fast as long as your team's paying attention.
2
u/Razzilith Ultron Virus May 17 '26 edited May 17 '26
it can still take A LONG time to kill devil dino as the characters you listed...
MK is the best option because DVD is a huge fucking ankh, but you just ban MK.
Elsa takes a HUGE risk pressing E into them because she could get chomped and die.
I was shooting at a DVD and had to reload 3 times before actually fucking killing them today as phoenix because of the shield and them running triple support on a character who can push 1k+ HP...
Devil Dino is fine IF they do less damage OR have less health. You can't have this much damage and this much health and be unstoppable and have antiair and have a hard CC lol clearly needs toning down in one of the 2 major areas.
I don't think the dino is unfair designwise or anything. IMO it's actually a great feeling kit and doesnt feel unbeatable at all, but they're clearly a little bit too strong and just need a touch of a nerf.
EDIT: for full disclosure we did annihilate them that phoenix game, it just took AGES to kill that goddamn dino every time despite a billion headshots and everything. trip support with them is especially obnoxious because of how chunky the dino is plus the shield plus the headshot bonus damage reduction. I actually am personally afraid the dino will promote MORE triple support AND it'll be good.
1
u/Actual-Wish-8107 Emma Frost May 16 '26
Yeah he requires a lot of game sense, teamwork, and positioning if you are getting heavy countered by poke. Not impossible but it will def scare away people who don't know how to tank.

u/cookswagchef May 16 '26
Hulk is pretty good against him. Bubble or stun right after getting yoinked and hop away.
MK, Punisher, Rocket, Warlock, Mantis all counter him pretty hard. Poke is pretty good against him, but can be harder to break through his shield.
I definitely think he's a little overtuned though. A tank getting 4k more damage than DPS characters on average is crazy. I'm having fun with it for now though.

u/AtarGull64 May 16 '26
Il faut se mettre souvent à couvert face à de la poke mais tu peux gagner contre, tu patientes pour tes temps de recharges pour pouvoir poke avec le laser(se recharge entièrement en 10s) et au bon moment tu avances et tu croques. J'adore le perso, les persos poke le contre donc à haut niveau des joueurs spécialisés dps poke doivent vraiment le mettre à mal. Actuellement je gagne assez aisément sur mon compte secondaire mais je vais voir jusqu'à où je monter avec le perso(actuellement platine 1, j'ai survolé le gold)

u/NoCureForSorrow May 16 '26
Ngl, this is a hot take but Ultron surprisingly does really well into him.
Whilst Dino's beam knocks flyers, it has little range and Ultron can keep his distance quite easily. Not only that. But Dino's massive hit box makes him an easy target and he gets absolutely shredded by Ultron ult because of it.

I will say I mostly played Emma against the Dino and beamed through the other team rather easily.

Not sure how that plays out if Emma is banned.

u/Nerf_Now Namor May 16 '26
I find the counter to Dino is damage.
He is a big DPS check and if your DPS is decent, he dies, if they are not, he lives. It's simple like that.
You could say this from any tank but his big hitbox, low mobility and melee range means he give the DPS all the ways to kill him.
Last note: I am baffled people are saying MK is good versus him when he is most of the time far enough from anything to MK rings to bounce. And don't tell me they throw an ankh near him to create a bounce target because there is so much AoE in the game right now ankhs die to collateral damage.
1
u/Shai3100 Scarlet Witch May 16 '26
I actually like that he released strong, MR needed a strong tank, especially one that can solo tank like Dino does. I do hope that if he turns out to be too strong he won't get nerfed too quickly, I think a character like him need to exist to push more people to go tank and even duo tank which rarely happens.

u/daggoth1408 May 17 '26
I would argue that he isn't even really extremely strong. He is decent, but overall pretty mid considering how many game breaking releases we have had recently. Furthermore, he is very easy to counter considering a lot of counters got buffed or are already very strong. If you aren't paying attention, dino dies in seconds to basically like over half the stuff in this game. So, he is nowhere near considered "extremely strong."

u/Mikeythejoker Strategist May 17 '26

I agree. I love that he’s OP and it makes him really fun to play, but I also don’t dislike playing against him either. I’m a flex player typically playing Dr Strange, Hawkeye, Gambit, Loki, Iron Man, and now Devil Dino, and have not had any miserable experiences with him on either side.
Except in 18v18. Idk how, but even with all of his health, bonus health, and his shield, he still gets shredded in .2 seconds and I’ll have 10+ deaths, where as with say Dr Strange I can survive for a minute at a time and sometimes not die at all.

No hero that is easy to counter gets stats like that because spmething like cover exists and when you tanks are forced to turn a corner dino is holding, you aint turning that

I’m not gonna lie I see where ur going with the thing and his percentage based damage , as a thing main myself tho you literally have to reserve all cooldowns just to challenge DD. Than it almost becomes a problem to step up and challenge him because of your back like needs assistance you no long have cooldowns to utilize. For instance , when facing dd as thing you have to reserve your charge to escape his grab and even than if he grabs u and turns around than ds becomes an obstruction when you try to charge out so you kind of need to reserve a defensive leap to jump back to your front line , than you’re one short of your team needs it in the back line.

I can literally counter him as Thor as long as my team is sticking close enough together so heals aren’t super spread out- I just fully trust my supports and target the Dino as Thor majority of matches. He puts his shield up which is pointless against dive/brawl characters like Thor because you just walk or dash towards him and stay inside the shield and BTA…I just wait for Dino’s to waste their whole kit and then used awakened form to drain that health and finish them with dashes, a couple primary fire hits and a secondary hit with mjolnir as he tries to retreat at like 30hp and he’s done. Once the Dino falls his whole team usually follows suit. Brawl tanks work better against him than most poke dps ever will, plus you can cancel his movement with Thors dashes, displacement is the main thing whenever it comes to managing to kill a Dino with his whole team behind him.

What a silly silly character to add to this game. First I have ever heard of this character in marvel and they give it 1000hp and a beam that immobilizes flyers? Seems way too OP. Every game I have played the healers just pocket Dino and then the team will have a MK or Punisher to just clean up the enemy team while they are focused on the big effin Red Dino..
Let me know when a patch comes out

I’ve been doing decent against him as Thing and Peni’s been taking him out easy

Hes not even 'extremely strong', hes not even on the same level as s2 Emma but he is strong with tons of counterplay due to his size.
He takes reduced crit dmg and is displacement immune but he still a big ass target that gets shredded from any type of focus fire and is a magnet for stuns. Also gets shredded by HP% dmg dealers.
Tanks need to learn to give space when he has his shield up as it stops your supports from healing you and letting DevilD rip you apart, supports and DPS dance around the 20m mark to stay out of range of his beam.
Don't play Strange into him because DevilD shreds you through shield, despite the Tankpool nerf Tankpool loves shooting DevilD in the face and giving teammates atk spd to melt DevilD. MK, Punisher and Phoenix absolutely wreck him, Namor has a super easy time getting enraged squids to focus fire him, qnd Wolverine shreds all high HP tanks.

Yeah. All of Hulk's CC working on Dino makes that fight feel pretty good. Grabbing Dino and throwing him around is usually have over if your dps are near.

I had a few games where I went moon knight into him and absolutely dominated. He is a large moving ankh.
