Unlike the traditional MT’s the space you take is often much larger but at the same time it’s has a much smaller window of uptime, similar to Hog. He has the ability to both make and keep space due to his movement and CC. D.Va’s matrix is limited but her mobility and heavy spread allows her to move about freely to threating angles. Zarya is one of the best Off-tanks because she can protect the MT and the space he creates (the more charge the safer that space is), Hog kinda make space due to his overwhelming kill potential but he can easily lose that space as fast as he makes it due to his huge model and how cc vulnerable he is. Zarya, Hog, and D.Va are considered off-tanks for this reason. He can be used as a Main Tank, Off-tank, and Dive tank (certain comps often dictate what play style will benefit the team more.Īn off-tank generally has limited defensive abilities and cannot take space alone (not easily). The offtanks are Zarya, Dva, Roadhog, and Hammond. What do you guys think makes a tank a “main tank” and an “off - tank”? Is a main tank a tank that can protect the team? If thats the case, then cant Zarya and DVA be considered main tanks?Īre these two not considered Main tanks in comps that have an actual main tank? But then whats an actual main tank? So what do you consider to be an Off-tank? A tank with signigicant DPS, a tank whose primary purpose is to deal damage? However, Rein/Orisa can deal some serious damage. It can block projectile and it can also block any burst damage or CC like Reins ultimate. But her self barrier can also protect teammates if she stand in front of them. Zaryas projected barrier can be place on teammates to eat damage. Dvas DM eats all projectiles which can save teammates. Zarya and Dva have abilities that not only protect themselves but the team as well. They both have abilities that benefit themselves. However, I noticed that both Hog and Hammond do not have any defensive capabilities when it comes to protecting teammates. The newest tank to join the evolving cast of heroes in Overwatch 2, Junker Queen, has been sitting in a bit of flux since her debut in the second beta. Winstons does not have a lot of health nor does it last all that long but it can protect the team and himself. Why? Well it seems to be because they have shields to protect the team. I was looking at each of the tanks and thinking about whats makes them either a main tank or an off tank to the community.įor example, Orisa, Rein, and Winston are considered main tanks. I wanted to get the communities view on what it means for a hero to be considered an off-tank.
