With the recent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch 2 announcement that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PvP matches will shrink from 6v6ꦐ to 5v5, with only one tank allowed on each side, pro 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch tank players are worried about their job securit🍌y.
The current meta has teams of six playing in a 2x2x2 formation, with two DPS, two healers, and two tanks. Matches in the Overwatch League (OWL) are cur꧅rently comprised of two teams of six players, with six additional players allowed to be swapped between maps. Despite the total membership of 12, many tanks are now worried that they may get cut from their teams due to this new meta being impl🍌emented in Overwatch 2.
Some Overwatch pro players have been quite outspoken on Twitter, such as Vancouver Titans player that it was "unbelievably disrespectful to make this decision and completely remove a role that people gave up years of their lives to achieve". This tweet strikes at the heart of the issue: a change to the g✱ame can have drastic effects on people who have spent years building a career with the game and rely on it to make a living.
The prospect of job losses will be especially con🧸cerning to Korean members of the OWL, as most of them come from working-class families. that this is because many Korean students who can't afford to pay for expensive cramming schools that prepare them for college exams spend their time in cheap gaming cafés instead. F꧟or them, competitive gaming and esports offer a route out of poverty.
It may not be all doom and gloom, however. As , ౠAlbert Yeh, Vice President of Esports Operations for Florida Mayhem believes that tank players won't lose their jobs any time soon, because "I can’t think of a single tank player in OWL that will be able to cover the entire tank cast as it is currently". As it currently stands, there are eight different tank heroes that players can choose from, so it is unlikely that any esports pro player will be able to master them all. As a result, Yeh thinks "teams will still retain at least two tanks initially.”
