Tanks have the highest DPS in every game.

[Gagaween]

I get that OW hates DPS players, but this makes no sense.

Supports = the best supports
Tanks = the best tanks... and the best DPS??
DPS = the 2nd best DPS (3rd in the case of Moira and Juno)

DPS characters are nerfed over and over, meanwhile tanks completely dominate the game.
I've put up with a lot of dumb crap from this game but this might be the dumbest build to date.

Dps have higher burst damage, also tanks have more uptime in fights but their damage is less valuable because it gets heals or because they are trading with the enemy tank.

dps become useless because the synergy from stacking tank and support defensive/sustain abilities together is just so good

the game basically stops being an fps and turns into a moba and things take forever to die

1. The tank is at least twice as strong as any other hero, so this is normal.

2. You are comparing incorrectly. Eliminations are given to everyone who deals damage to the enemy 3 seconds before the death. Even if it is 10 HP. The tank is always on the front line and always deals damage, so he has a lot of eliminations.

3. No one would be motivated to play a tank if it had bad stats.

in ow1, there was a time when tanks did no damage. it was horrible and the game almost died.

Well, it wouldn't be very fun to go back to the days where having 2 tanks deploy shields and barriers was the meta. Besides DPS roles can deal more burst damage and they're deadly as long as they are kept alive.

Failure in design. Its clear early on they intended on tanks being like reinhardt demanding space by denying your value as a dps, but over time found out that everyone playing an fps wanted to shoot things and do damage so now you have Sustain dps, Thic dps, and trash dps roles respectively.

No one addressed why they do the MOST DPS.
I didn't say they should do no DPS. I'm saying the DPS class should do more DPS than the tank class. That's commonsense.

my first comment did
i said "tanks have more uptime in fights" they just exist in fights for longer and are able to trade damage for longer even thought they do less damage than dps

That's right. A tank is like two characters.

But it's not always the tank that has the maximum DPS in a match. And the fact that he leads in the number of eliminations is not surprising, since he is always at the forefront, and an elimination is counted for anyone who deals damage to an enemy within 3 seconds before his death, regardless of the amount of damage.

Probably would help if you'd stop conflating total damage with damage per second

[The Spoon God]

It would also help if DPS (on my team) didn't lose 1v1's, over extend, and actually picked off high-value targets.

But that's just my experience. I have really bad luck.

Moira has the literal lowest dps in the game, lmao.

[hi friends]

highest dps? no, but they do tend to have highest damage stats yes

Which is depressing because I get higher damage stat than most damage roles I play with, and still keep a good ratio of dmg:heals. Please, send help.
