Overwatch New Experimental Patch Overhauls the Tank Meta
Overwatch’s newest Experimental Card will include over-the-top balance adjustments directly from Overwatch content creators. Each creator had their ideas about heroes, with Tanks receiving the most love from LemonKiwi, who is in charge of buffs.
The overall reduction in tank weapon, ability, damage, and ultimate damage has been 50%. The duration of crowd control applied to tanks has been reduced by 50% for stuns and knockdowns, knockbacks as well as slow/freeze, root/trap, slow/freeze, slow/freeze, root/web, and sleep. This patch significantly boosts tanks, making them virtually unstoppable. This patch will allow players to play with both main and off tanks.
