    No beta this time, and I won't pay 40 euros for it either. Should have saved some of the wow gold :P

    The removal of the 20% dps speed buff have made the game way better. Junker Queen is a bit OP and ... could use to be more imposing. She doesn't look like a tank and it's hard to pick her out in hectic fights especially because she moves so much. Looks like just another dps.

    Idk about the op part because I have maybe only like 10 games so far but I do agree with her "size" or "look" of a tank.

    Maybe it's something you will just get used too after enough games, like immediately reconize her after awhile.

    She feels weird as a tank role with tanks being cut down to 1. I could see her as a roadhog esque tank when there were 2 tanks but she doesn't really seem to frontline.

    I need to hop into training room, but I swear she is probably about Zarya height but she is so slender and cuts a smaller silhouette. Zarya stands out because she is bulky and carries a bulky weapon. Doom is also taller than more and definitely bigger, but in pretty sure he was upsized to be a tank too (remember his hit box still being the small version causing game issues.)

    I say she is a bit OP because if she gets a couple of dots rolling and as a healer, she seems unkillable. Advantage to a character like Moira or Ana is I can confirm kills for my team, but she is really difficult to do that too. And while healing she seems pretty easy to keep up.
    While playing dps I've noticed similar things. I know all the tanks are now super classes, but her small size/hit box, mobility and tick healing are a bit much. It's possible making her bigger would quickly solve that problem.
