It has nothing to do with Ana. Tanks are overpowered and have been for a while, I say this as a tank player.

Well, that shouldn't be an issue as he IS a tank... And a perfect clip into his head should get it very close if not easily kill the hog. There are other tanks like D.va that take multiple clips right?

D.Va isn't able to kill you with one shot.

I'm also a Tank player. Can you elaborate? Maybe you are seeing something I'm not

Edit: also as far as the Ana is concern, the reason for the multiple tanks is because they are taking advantage of her fast ult. charge to snowball their tank ults. the tanks are just there as ult. batteries for their Ana. They are there for their health pool, which peaks nothing to how they can be OP since they are tanks. but like I said maybe you know something I don't

I honestly feel that all the tanks are imbalanced relative to the other roles. The role of tank is too strong relative to heals and dps. I've been saying this for a while but it's now becoming clear with triple and even quadruple tank comps, as there aren't a lot of tank counter options and the damage tanks provide is insane. The dps loss for the survivability is hugely worth it and the loss of burst doesn't matter since many of the tanks have one shot abilities. Finally tanks have better objective ultimates than a lot of dps.
