If you want to classify heros on this game as tanks, support and assassins you MUST give tanks more HP, especially considering the hitbox size of the "tanks".
Literally every other game I know of that classifies heros like this gives the tanks more hp
Nah, they don't' need more HP [removed by CM]
They're not classified as tank characters, they're classed as defence characters, meaning play more defensively in cover.
Play more defensively because your hitibox is the size of a house. I feel so unique playing one of these legends.
Agreed with your first reply! Now if the character has the hit box of a house it does need compensated with something and I think hp would work nicely... I mean they could just put them on a diet I guess (new artwork)... with hit boxs over 100% larger then other heros it makes them pointless to play if you want to survive longer then your first encounter in 90% of your games
They're not going to change the models even though it's the best solution, imagine how much work that would have to be.. changing the quips/cards/finishers etc.. this latest patch did very little to address the defensive legends.
Risk they run with adding more hp is creating a horrible tank meta. The game is meant to be the abilities/ult is flavor and the aiming/gunplay and so forth is the the proper gameplay where the person with the better aim wins.
I'm playing Caustic right now and I get hit before I even come out of cover so many times the model is that big, it's * stupid. Whoever came up with it doesn't know what they're doing.
I just hope they don't make future legends big like Rampart I think it's called guy who is meant to have a riot shield? it doesn't work. I guarantee the 2 defensive legends are the least picked of all.
too fat ! taking all spray and shotgun's shoot, always the target and the easier too kill.
may be include the dammage reduction for the fat boys with fat kevlar ???
Ya much agreed, whenever I play a "bigger" legend I catch about every bullet thrown my way. Bottom line is they need to fix it because like you said nobody plays those heros and if your wanting that type to be in game and everyone have different hit board something needs to change or people will leave the game... personally I think a tank meta would be better then what they are now, at least it would make them valuable and make people use mobility and their smaller hit boxes... ultimately if I was playing wraith vs a "thick" and we had the exact same aim the wraith would land 50% more of her shots and there is 0 compensation for the thick with that crazy stat
Once you start adding damage reduction I think it becomes to complicated. Easy and small is always the better choice when trying to balance a game
I'm with Boafang7
They should make all character's a similar size.
I would make Gibraltar muscly as opposed to fat, his hit box wouldn't differ very much from other legends and he'd still maintain his tank-like appearance while not jeopardising speed. Because quite honestly it is illogical for someone of that size to run as fast as other characters, but for obvious reasons speed cannot be compromised, so he will have to go on a diet in the coming updates.
Im okay with a little bit of hit box variation, but not this considerable.
Don't even suggest giving some legends more HP, they will not do this.
Its clear that they won't compromise on stats. All characters have had the same stats so far, the only difference is abilities.
They only seem to penalise stats to get around this, but all base stats are the same.
Plus his passive shield kind of compensates for his larger hitbox, just not enough. He should be more muscly as opposed to fat, because at the moment he's very disproportionate.
