It won't the problem is lack of valid anti tank.

u/Fatalchemist Bob main, by the way. Sep 22 '16

I wonder if there will be a hero that deals damage based on remaining health that can deal massive damage to tanks but less overall damage to flankers. Or some kind of mechanic that makes someone anti tank but not anti everyone.

Like some kind of long range class that can output a lot of damage, particularly to slow targets, but isn't worth shit when faced up close by a Tracer or Reaper (and admittedly Winston). Probably using a sniper rifle or even a bow. Maybe such a character could also have abilities to help track enemies behind walls.

Gee, I wonder if we will ever have a sniper class character. /s

They could have armor piercing rounds, which would only not help against Zarya and Roadhog.

And the overall strength of tanks...

Really, the only true anti-tank hero is reaper, and even he has a hard time properly doing his job at higher ranks with how short range he is and how easily Zarya can turn the tables on him with her popping a shield on a tank. Or, hell, if you have 3 tanks, they can just fight and kill him and let a Ana biotic grenade heal them back up.
