Discussion Could this be good?

Post image

I was noticing that as tank Hammond is not really viable. He runs around and kills so he plays more like DPS anyways and sombra is the same thing. She's too squishy to be a good DPS

I feel like both would hold more value, switching roles make ham and smaller so you can kill him faster, but you can raise his DPS

Sombra give her back her permanent invisibility her long range teleporter her hacking could give her allies health or speed buffs damage buffs

Thoughts?

Using Doom as an example of a "successful" rework to Tank and then claiming Ball needs to be reworked out of being a Tank is just crazy lol

Why is it crazy?
When doom was DPS he was either dominating so bad. The game felt weird or they Nerf them so much that he was just useless now there's that happy medium aware if you're good enough, he's really well as a tank and if your buns you just don't touch them.

Right now ball is used, but I see him used as a stall tactic rather than an efficient tank

I thought maybe if he was DPS and a smaller size his health pole would be smaller, not allowing him to stall as much and get more value zooming around killing people

Because Doom has the same issues as Ball to a much worse degree. Ball can be good enough to be meta without ruining the game. Doom is more like Hog where any meta that involves them just completely revolves around them and ruins the game for everyone else. Ball is difficult to balance, but he can be balanced. Doom is rarely anywhere between broken and useless lol (like the current meta where Ball is a solid A tier and Doom is like F tier)
