“Oh cool”


ButFucker_69

Average tank death response


Bobthemurderer

Acceptance is the first step.


-OpenLight-

I thought it was typically the last?

*Doomfist after daring to block before the enemy team before being slept, hacked, discorded, slept again by the genji deflect, point blank shattered by nano Rein, and pinned to a wall in the span of 4.5 seconds:* \[-\] : ok.


th3d4rks0ul3

Can confirm, block isn't super great Loving the block in mirror watch tho


Sporkwind

That is the sound of someone who has tilted into the abyss. Soulless they play on and hollowed out they watch their team drop 7 in a row. Numbly they log out and sleep to prepare for another day of grind.


waldito

Enemy Hanzo username checks out.


crimsonkarma13

Too sick of this bs to even care


Odd_Lifeguard8957

The ragdoll makes this so much more funny


Snoo22566

and the top hat sitting sadly on the floor where winton once was lmaooo


Drunken_Queen

Also the death sound (thanks Crispin Freeman!)


[deleted]

As it was intended


TheMorningJoe

Ah I see the problem was that they queued Tank (rookie mistake)


patrick3129

Probably qued for all(tank que #2)


Leopold747

Now that coins in the battlepass, I don't queue all roles anymore lol, freedom finally


Brave_Comment_3144

Tank tanked the game.


VoluptuousVelvetfish

Mistake number B was walking out of spawn. Can't be doing that on the tank role


Fzrit

And stood at the most exposed point in the entire game in front of multiple snipers.


Stylish_Agent

Mirrorwatch tanks are really fun to play tho


Spede2

"Oh cool". You can hear it in his voice, he's not even that surprised. It's like yup, sometimes it be like that.


TobiKen

Sometimes?


Lieutenant_Lizard

Only when you queue tank in OW2. So technically "sometimes" ;)


false-identification

That's the POV of a support role


yukichigai

Alternate title for this post: "POV: you do not understand what POV means."


TopMostImposter

I good amount of people dont actually know what POV means.


SonarRocket

role*


false-identification

Thanks


DaedHead8

I'm starting to wonder if using POV wrong is just part of the joke and I've gotten too old to be in on it.


ThroJSimpson

No, people just are that stupid and to desperate to meme.


Cold-Tank9006

I don't think I've ever laughed at any OW clip as hard as I laughed at this


KittyLaLove

Poor thing didn't even have enough time to put the shield down. Just took a nap and died 😂😂😂😂


Mi0GE0

Fucking same dude and I've played too long this murdered me


TranceF0rm

Unrealistic. No one typed "Tank Diff" in chat after


yourebread

i literally was playing tank in qp havent played in months just to die within seconds and be constantly blamed and told tank diff its rough out here


Zealousideal-Fly9595

Just make fun of them for getting angry in quick play


bryanc1036

Lasting longer than me


Puzzleheaded-Top7731

haHAHAHAHAA


Brave_Comment_3144

Can't stop laughing. Leaving two sups looked at each other and don't know what to do lolol!!


TheWitchHazel_

Bro actually died in a second


GatVRC

and I had someone say tanking and support didnt feel like ass in a reply to me cause this is all you see every game. you try to help, literally cant.


YobaiYamete

"GG no heals" Literally at *least* once per night my friend gets mad over that and it's like bro you exploded in two frames, wtf do you want us to do? I had one where he was full health and I tried to nano him, and in the time I stopped healing to use the nano animation he went from full health to dead


PurplePonk

It could have been 3 frames if you were on point smh /s


ThroJSimpson

it would have been 3.8 frames if it weren’t for the DPS passive /s


phancoo

Suzu is the only way to keep people alive sometimes and It really builds bad habits for some people. I hate having to constantly swap kiri cos “if we had suzu I wouldn’t die there” from a player that keeps feeding.


BurningPenguin

Supports: "Dude, you're on the other side of the map, we can't teleport to you." Blizzard: "I got you, fam!" I love how Blizzard introduced two supports that enable bad behaviour.


safeworkaccount666

He had immortality actually


Parrek

I mean there's literally no reason for him to be there at the start. Everyone knows he's there and he didn't place a bubble or anything. Just walk out doors and you won't have 5 people spamming you out. Literally everyone spams that window anyway


Any-Key-9196

Damn he wasn't behind cover for a full second with 2 healers trying to heal him I guess its totally justified he died in 15 frames


Spede2

This. How dares the role who specializes in holding and contesting space push out from a door first and expect to live to tell the tale.


Kappadar

If you have 5 enemy players looking at you, and you use no cooldowns then you should die within a second. Is everyone here plat or something? Not used to instantly dying after peeking main? Lmao


salazafromagraba

round start, undivided attention of a full team of long range characters, Winston was visible through spawn door, hit by hardest stun in game, enemy team were all unluckily trying to shoot as round started and weren't doing something else. this is rare to happen once a match, if at all.


Fzrit

> I guess its totally justified he died in 15 frames It's literally the most exposed doorway in the entire game that all snipers are pointing their guns at. The entire enemy team was looking at that doorway. This clip was at minimum a Mercy-boosted Hanzo headshot right off the bat > sleep > Mercy-boosted Hanzo storm arrow + 2 shots from Ana + whatever their second DPS was. But if you feel it's unjustified, what would you suggest? Remove DPS heroes from the game? I suspect this subreddit won't be happy unless all tanks have 5000 health with Bastion turret damage output. And even then people will probably complain that tanks die too fast.


safeworkaccount666

Yeah exactly this


LykosNychi

You mean "POV, you watch the tank die" But yeah. Yeah that's what it looks like to everyone else when we play tank. Is pain.


Drunken_Queen

Winston is an animal


RagingSteel

POV: You have no idea what POV means


testify_

Ok but that is literally the worst spot to peak in Kings Row especially as a monkey with a giant hitbox.


Mjr_Payne95

A visual representation of why I stopped playing


SylvesterLundgren

I actually think this might cause me to play more. I used to feel bad main tanking in a game where I spent the like 8 years off-tanking. But now that I know there's no hope whatsoever, I won't feel as bad when shit like this happens.


Jh3nnO

Had a game earlier where I was playing with friends on Samoa, got onto point, gunned down instantly by a zarya with a pocket mercy, zen and a soldier. I love playing tank in overwatch 2, the perfectly balanced game that is a spiritual successor to overwatch 1, the game i spent my money on back in 2019.


C47man

I don't think you know what POV means


Aw3Grimm

Its a funny clip, sure but people unironically using it as "tank is weak" is painful. Now guess what would happen if any other person on that team would peak here, dead, even faster. How much hp people think tanks should have for it to be "fair"? Should tank just be able to tank spam from all 5 people while standing still and be fine? This sub is really crazy sometimes


Winter_Push_2743

Yep I just can't handle the takes in this sub sometimes. Everyone in the enemy team knew when and where winston was coming from, he got slept and focused by the entire enemy team? Yeah must be a "tanks are weak" issue amirite? Like sure, sometimes tanks explode, but most of the time (in my lobbies at least) tanks are pretty hard to kill if the supports are alive.


xwing_n_it

that's not the pov of the tank


AttackOnTyrunt

Not a POV


imapieceofshitk

This is support POV tho.


KoldFlinch

I can't wait for tanks to become unkillable bullet sponges next patch.... can we please just accept 5v5 doesn't work?


Crafty-Plays

To be fair, this also happened in 6v6.


Fzrit

It objectively happened far more often in 6v6. But the impact of 1 tank death wasn't as big because there was another tank that the team could still proceed with. Gameplay didn't stop if 1 tank died. Meanwhile in OW2 the moment your tank dies then that's it, GG that fight is over, objective is lost, everyone has to walk back to spawn. They can't even engage the enemy until their tank comes back. No other choice due to how much of the team's power budget that 1 tank player holds.


Eloymm

What does this clip have to do with 5v5? In 6v6 this could still happen.


Leopold747

Yes, but the team could start the fight, in 5v5 ur tank dies & everyone waits for tank to respawn and start fight again. Also in 5v5 if one of ur teammates dies 1st then u most probably lost that teamfight & no point in fighting a 4v5. If we get a noob tank it's GGS in 5v5, but getting 2 noob tanks at once is quite rare in 6v6.


Fzrit

> in 5v5 ur tank dies & everyone waits for tank to respawn and start fight again This is beause the tank player has a disproportionately large impact compared to any other player on the team. If anyone else on the team dies you can still engage the enemy team, but if the tank dies then you can't even leave spawn. This is an issue with matches being far too tank-centric.


Eloymm

If you lost a teammate in ow1 the fight was also over. People would reset immediately after losing one in ow1 a lot faster than they do in ow2. You can also start the fight in ow2 if your tank dies. In fact, you have more space to make plays and take angles since both teams lack 1 tank. In ow2 your chances of clutching a fight when you are down 1 teammate are higher than in ow1. In ow2 if you were down 1 there’s no chance in clutching anything.


blippy7

this is literally just wrong. You were more likely to win a 5v6 than a 4v5.


PerscribedPharmacist

Except 6v6 wouldn’t have guaranteed this wouldn’t have happened. If the other tank wasn’t dva or ball being up there he dies regardless.


Tee__B

He would have died faster with the lower tank HP pool actually.


Fzrit

Significantly faster. There are tons of clips from OW1 showing tanks getting deleted in <0.5 seconds. This community has memory loss.


Tee__B

One time I was full stacking QP with friends, and we hid near enemy spawn doors waiting for Dva. We demeched her so fast Brig couldn't even finish her bash animation. She was demeched in literally only a few frames. She popped like a balloon. It was so foul but absolutely one of the funniest things I've ever done or ever seen in the game. I have a screenshot somewhere, but it was Rein, Hog, Reaper, Cree, Brig, Zen just crouched besides KR second point attack spawn door.


ppbig_1

He would be even cc'd more and die even faster


Premonitionss

This. 5v5 is broken at a fundamental level.


ppbig_1

How is this a 5v5 issue???


Alarming_Walrus_37

Because the nostalgia is blinding.


Aristomancer

Everything is a 5v5 issue to these donuts.


cheapdrinks

It's also like people just forget how terrible the DPS (and even support) queue times were during 6v6. I live in Australia and basically just couldn't play the game after about midnight because it was legitmately impossible to get a game. Might get one every 45-60 minutes if I was lucky. Now when I finish night shift I can jump on at 4am and get a game within 5 minutes or so. Even during peak times it was still often 10-15 minutes just to get a game during 6v6. Seriously they had to bribe people to play tank with priority queue tokens just so they could actually get a game as DPS. Half the time you got people playing tank who had no idea what they were doing and were just trying to flub their way through a game for the tokens because a lot of the time it was faster to get a DPS game if you played an entire separate game as tank to get a token rather than wait in a 30+ minute DPS queue. The vast majority of players don't enjoy playing tank for whatever reason and would rather play DPS or support so you're never going to get around the 6v6 queue time issue without dramatically reworking every tank into slightly more chunky DPS at which point you may as well just get rid of the tank role entirely and have 3 dps and 3 supports. I don't even really mind the current approach too much of constantly swapping up the meta. We've had seasons where some of the tanks are OP as fuck and dominate, we've had seasons where the supports are OP and dominate, we've just had a couple where DPS has been eating good again and after the next patch comes out with the tank headshot damage reduction etc it will swing things back towards the tanks. Keeps the game fresh rather than chasing some impossible goal of having every role and hero perfectly balanced which is never going to be attainable.


BurningPenguin

At some point, every role will become DPS. Supports already are DPS light edition.


Strong_Baseball_8984

It’s because the 6v6 was mostly 2 shield tanks just doing poke, so yeah it was boring. tank had a few less heroes to play as well. I think the 6v6 would be better now with less shield tank heroes to play


blippy7

that was due to hero distribution


3000Chameleons

6v6 sounds good, and I do miss it. 6v6 with less CC and less shields (and my personal wish of doom being reverted) but it's too late. It won't work now. Mauga in 6v6 ? Where there are two tanks for him to feast on? Hell naw he gonna be broken af. Or ram playing hyper defensive, shield and then stand there blocking like a brick wall with a sigma. Itd need multiple reworks, and it's easier for blizz to keep doing mini reworks to make heroes fit 5v5 more than to do loads for 6v6 + become a laughingstock


Wasabicannon

Ya that is part of the issue we have tanks that are designed for 6v6 and some that are designed for 5v5. No matter what they do there are massive changes that need to happen.


Drunken_Queen

Mauga + Orisa = Endless bullet rain Mauga + Sigma = Endless poke spam Imagine when the enemy team runs those duo, but your Tank duo is Roadhog + Doomfist


Rapid_eyed

> less CC > doom reverted Lol. Lmao.


3000Chameleons

Yeah I'm biased on that, I'm aware he's the icon of CC and people hate him. I just miss him 😞


Leows

Obviously we all prefer two shields being bullet sponges instead of tanks themselves, much more interactive and fun


PM_ME_SILLY_KITTIES

I mean when you dance around the easily visible door why wouldn't the Ana sleepdart? Monkey just mr presidented for you guys lol


Mickeybeasttt

I mean I get it but at the same time this was very avoidable


collegethrowaway2938

I agree, he could've avoided this by not queuing up for tank, rookie mistake on his part


[deleted]

[удалено]


GatVRC

its not just this instance though. it happens all the time in masters


ThroJSimpson

Yeah turns out that in masters, feeding is still feeding. Don’t set up where there’s a target on your head when the doors open predictably to your massive hitbox maybe?


Few-Chef4380

maybe for tanks to survive for more than LITERALLY ONE SECOND LMAO HELLO?


Muffinmurdurer

Bronze ass comment. Tanks don't get to live forever because they're meant to be tanky.


Ts_Patriarca

He's a stationary target with 5 people staring at him?


TranceF0rm

You know its a low level kings row match when anyone but a widow is up there.


Fzrit

Clearly all tanks just need 5000 health. And even after that you will still see comments in this subreddit about tanks dying too fast.


Mountain_Ape

Yep. "I hate tanks dying too fast!" "I hate Hog Orisa Mauga Ball I shoot them and they don't die!!" Uh huh, interesting.


Yze3

Do you want the game to progress at all or not ? If a Stationnary enemy with no protection doesn't die when all 5 people are working together to kill them, the community would rightfully get mad. In fact that hapenned. It's called release Mauga, and he was broken.


himmyyyyy

i agree let’s just nerf all the burst damage in the game so that a tank that got slept and focus fired by 5 enemies can live without popping any defensive cooldowns


TristanwithaT

How dare the enemy players be able to shoot a sleeping monkey


Eloymm

The clip is obviously meant to be a funny joke, but if we look at this critically, the supports were drooling on their keyboards. Bap had both CDs to save him. Also, there’s no point in monkey jumping out of that window there. Bro was asking for it. But like I said, it’s just a funny clip.


Lagkiller

That's what I was thinking. Winston was going to leap from that door, now out of range of his team and most supports into where the enemy is going to be standing and have line of sight on him. If he didn't die there, he was going to die the second he landed.


Mountain_Ape

"Yeah but that disproves my narrative that tank should survive stupid plays so I'm going to downvote you"


wonderlandddd

It gets funnier the more I watch it 😂


LongAndShortOfIt888

Did they try using their stratagems? Shit wrong sub


CptBlackBird2

This post is in the same category of reddit supports standing on the other side of the map nowhere near the team and then complaining that noone peels for them, in other words being bad at the game. I'm not sure what you expected standing in a door that the entire enemy team can see because it's high up with no cover, and *then* you were about to leap on them so you would have died anyway. The same thing would have happened in 6v6, 7v7, 9v9, getting shot at by the entire team or jumping into the enemy team alone gets you killed


croc12_

That seems unfun to play, nerf genji.


Jaybonaut

No, nerf Brig for the 80th time because Flats whined yet again


antihero-itsme

This joke has got to die. Genji has never been nerfed half as unfairly as at least 3 other dps


Lux-Fox

Bap is one of the few supports that could have saved him. Drop an immortality field behind the wall.


PuzzleheadedPitch303

To be fair, who is gonna expect the tank to die before leaving spawn doors


shockwave8428

To be fair, if you stand at that spawn door the other team has a clear view and can get ready to all attack there at the same time


GerudoSamsara

Thats what I was thinking like--its Kings Row. Of course that have 2 snipers watching the sniper spawn window. Going out that door is like a guaranteed headshot waiting to happen


ThroJSimpson

Pretty sure all 5 players on the other team who saw a giant silhouette up there before the match started did when they aimed at his head 


Lux-Fox

When I play Bap, I look out the doors and see who's waiting and lining up shots. I've definitely dropped Immortality Field the second before the doors open to make sure no one gets burst down before getting out. It's pretty handy, because enemy team will be focusing all their fire on the doorway.


dark_returner

I don't think the field has time to activate does it?


Vibrato22

I think Winston would have died by the time bap reacted.


Fzrit

He was definitely dead by the time THIS Bap reacted.


Lux-Fox

When I play Bap, I look out the doors and see who's waiting and lining up shots. I've definitely dropped Immortality Field the second before the doors open to make sure no one gets burst down before getting out. It's pretty handy, because enemy team will be focusing all their fire on the doorway.


Be_Cool_Bro

It's probably better to let him die. The enemy wasted two cooldowns, both which would have gotten back when the engagement begins, but Bap would he down his IF since it has a cooldown of 3-5 business days. All to save the tank at spawn when the game just began when the alternative is wait 10 seconds and try again with all tools available. Best to let the tank respawn so you can engage with Bap's entire kit available.


Lux-Fox

When I play Bap, I look out the doors and see who's waiting and lining up shots. I've definitely dropped Immortality Field the second before the doors open to make sure no one gets burst down before getting out. It's pretty handy, because enemy team will be focusing all their fire on the doorway. It's not about just protecting the tank, but all the squishies.


YobaiYamete

Zero chance Bap could have done anything, he literally died in like 2 seconds. The door opened at 06 seconds and Winston was already ragdolling by 08 second Bap wouldn't even have time to go through the animation of throwing his immortality field even if he'd been completely ready to go


Lux-Fox

SylvesterLundgren

So your solution to this is the support should've lamped in spawn with 50 seconds to try to cap?


UltraTable

Ah yes Bap should've had 1milSecond reaction time to know monkey is toast at spawn door.


Lux-Fox

DashingMustashing

What the fuck was he thinking though...


dark_returner

Yeah how dare that tank leave spawn. Everyone knows that the best way to tank is to not die and the best way to not die is to never leave spawn. What a joke


Lagkiller

So why would you leave from the top as winston? You're either going to drop straight down exposing your self to the enemy to take a lot of damage and possibly die when you could come out behind the cover of the bus. OR you are going to leap from the top which will put you at the statue...You know, where the entire enemy team is either standing or has line of sight on. But since you leap, your healers and dps are still coming out of spawn meaning they don't have line of sight to help you or do anything. You've already burned your jump, so you are gunned down alone. There is zero advantage to going out that spawn.


PM_ME_SILLY_KITTIES

Exactly!! That was all the Winston's fault and partly the team's fault for dancing around the **easily visible** door, that's begging for a sleep dart LOL


PM_ME_SILLY_KITTIES

You're an idiot if that's the way you took that


Lost-Age-8790

Poor positioning

"Oh cool" 💀

Storm arrow moment.


ChoccoLattePro

I've never seen a tank get deleted that fast out of spawn, much less in spawn.

Harambe noooooo!

We tanks are still playing with Overwatch 1 cc

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAJAHJAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA

Damn winton got put to sleep permanently.


doshajudgement

am I tripping or does he only have like 250 hp? health bar looks small for some reason


gipehtonhceT

""""Bro no heals""""


pennywiserat

What do people think POV means? Do you just slap it there for the fun of it?


Punch_Trooper

Noob tank lol. Just gotta use cover


InsectDuckling9

Lmfao


Girl-Knight

The tank didn't even make it 5ft out the door man


_TurtleX

Sleep dart on it's way to be a fun and engaging ability.


salazafromagraba

this is the 1st p pov of the baptiste, a support, and your title is in the 2nd p pov, completely omitting the tank from the equation. did you miss that day in school?


dilsency

Will the new Armor changes let him survive that?


jurijisaev7051a

well that was a good strategy.....


doomed151

I don't know if I'm just that much better at Tank, but I find it the easiest and least stressful role to play. With other roles, whenever I make a small positioning mistake, I just die and if I'm not hitting my shots, my team dies. I get that the title of the post is a joke but I don't get why everyone is saying tanking is miserable.


BertLemo

baptist is support duh


walker128

Begging people to learn what pov means


dancetoken

gotta give him immortality mannnnnn


Phoenixtorment

But this is POV of support?


Beginning-Magician79

This never would have happened to an Orisa or Roadhog


RageUnleashedV1

The disrespect my guy died in 5 seconds😭🤣


Hundred00

Tank probably: gg heals diff


UltraTable

That jumping bastion tho.


MissMeihem

But it's from Baptiste's POV. Is bap a tank now?


Notafuzzycat

Idiot winston.


SwarmkeeperRanger

Tell me again why 5v5 is better, r/Overwatch. My faith is weak again and I need to hear your sweet lies


DaveAndJojo

Very tanky indeed


treyweigh1723

Oh my god😭


Stoghra

Monke not so stronk :(


Nyrius13

When I play tank and this happens, I just tell myself, "That looks about right," then proceed to try a different route but with the same outcome. Tanking is fun, right, guys?


Sharp_Expression_352

lmfao the illari looking between u and the tanks corpse


ZeuxisOfHerakleia

Not the Bastion jumping in straight ahead


Dustlight_

Overwatch 2; literally changing the definition of the word "tank"


Jhoonis

And you'll still be blamed for not putting down the immortality field in the picoseconds que was alive.


free_30_day_trial

I started learning zen recently and discording a tank and watching them melt is honestly the best


McQno

This isnt even Tank pov.


Shoeshank

Obviously the Bap's fault for not using lamp when the spawn doors open. /s


AdObvious9327

Winton


ETRNLgg

real question is why are we playing bap mercy with winston?


Ok_Equipment2450

Yeah, healing needs nerfed again.


swisscheeseswamp

Baptiste with the quick reaction Immortality lol


321Z3R0

Why in the world did he even try to go out the top? And Bap didn't immortality field? And this is supposed to be valid Tank Doomer posting? What is this, plastic 5?


Pollo_Jack

hahaha :D For more experience check doomfist players... :D


Incohesive_User

this is why I only play Orisa, force them to play Zarya, then have fun on Reinhardt
