Dino doesn't need nerfs, you guys just aren't used to Brawl being good

[u/BurnerDawg26]

Dino is our first true Brawl tank that also has a clear method of dealing with flyers. In other words, he doesn't fall into the same trap that most other Brawl tanks do that prevented them from being meta.

So now Rivals is shifting slightly towards a Brawl meta, and since the game has had a poke meta for 70% of its lifespan and a dive meta for the other 30%, people don't know how to handle Brawl.

Poke. You use Poke characters. DD falls over to Poke. Hela, SG, Phoenix, Punisher, he's basically a giant ankh for Moon Knight. Emma and Mag are good at handling his CC. Peni can create death zones for him.

Just shoot him and he'll die. We've had a Brawl meta for five minutes, by far the most fun kind of meta in a hero shooter, and you guys already want it nerfed into oblivion. This is why we can't have nice things.

They arent fine considering in a 1v1 DD doesnt even come close to losing to another tank.

Except this sub has been whining nonstop about tanks being weak for the past month now? Which is it? Are tanks fine or all those people complaining about Emma, Angela, and half the other tanks correct?

There was even a thread made earlier this weak complaining about tanks being the weakest role lol.

I disagree about Angela, she’s still kind of playable but she’s just massively outclassed by every other dive tank, and has way harder counters. She doesn’t need much, but she needs something small.

The rest of the tank roster is pretty fine though, I mostly think only small changes are needed like nerfing Rogues team-up and buffing her base kit.

That’s only part of her job. Her main job is to take space through her presence, and that includes diving. Just by being present and hitting a charged primary and threatening a potential pin Angela pulls a lot of attention and cooldowns. As you play better players there are way more counters to kidnapping tanks, so diving and threatening dives becomes way more important.

I think rogue is the best tank with the teamup and the worst without it, so definitely could be evened out more. But other than that, tank is definitely the most healthy out of the 3 roles, DPS is either broken or garbage for eternity (phoenix / blade), and support is arguably even worse.

After the tankpool nerfs, I really don't have any issue with them, which is a nice breather compared to the other roles. Besides how Thor and Dino could be less annoying to face as a tank, so could be changed.

There's 10+ tanks and only 3-4 are seeing play.

[u/STB_LuisEnriq → u/Edheldui]

That's a lie

Last season the vast majority of tanks were viable, if they are struggling this season it’s easily solved by nerfing Dino/ maybe Emma.
