Overwatch 2’s Season 8 Tank Likely Won’t Fix One Problem With The Role

It’s a rough time for Tanks in Overwatch 2. Damage heroes like Bastion are so strong that characters like Reinhardt are borderline unplayable, while the survivability of Supports limits the impact Tank players can have. Instead of feeling like the star of the match, something that would make sense considering that there is only one Tank on each team in Overwatch 2, Tanks often die extremely fast and have little impact on the match thanks to the current state of the game. While there is hope that improvements will be made to the role in Season 8, one longrunning Tank problem will likely continue to go unsolved.
