For me it’s tank. I can’t tank I guess but I can tank in Pokémon.

Tanks rely on healers to stay alive. Just like dps, so if you aren’t alive then you die.

Nah, it’s Tank, Support isn’t too far behind as long as it isn’t Moira/Brig 1.0, while Damage is the easiest because it mostly only relies on basic positioning and Mechanics

I think tanks are the more difficult role.

Healers are neccessary but tanks are what will be capturing your objective

I find supports to be the easiest role. You don’t have to engage as often or look for holes in the enemies defense as much as dps or tanks do.

…

I’m bias lol

Am a support main

If we discount Moira, as a primarily solo queuer it can be frustrating. Oh so frustrating

In terms of a challenge, I agree that support is most difficult. But in terms of outright difficulty, including impossible levels of skill expression, I’ll have to give it to the tank role.

I originally said damage and forgot how basic most damage characters really are

False, each role require a different set of skills, you can’t just say one takes more skill than the other when they play completely different from the other.

Tank isn’t hard depending on which one, but it’s definitely the most frustrating.

Hard to make space when people don’t use it.

Healers rely on tanks to stay alive too though

It’s harder to keep your team alive by preventing damage than it is to keep them alive by healing damage

I think every roles difficulty can be argued. Personally, for me, it’s tanking. I can heal and dps easily.

Honestly I’d say DPS is harder, getting picks is hard when you have Bubbles, Shields, healing and getting focused.

At least with Support I have enough utility to help win fights, as long as I’m not caught on my own or stuck with bad team I am fine.

Oh god. No, healers aren’t the hardest role, if it was it wouldn’t gain more popularity. Tanking is harder.

…to the truth.

There are some healers that are harder than some tanks and dps, and some healers that are easier than some tanks and dps.

The hardest hero in this game is not in the healer roster though.

Let me guess, you are talking about either Tracer or Genji, both of whom are probably in the upper ranks if they are any good.

If tanking wasn’t the hardest role we’d see a uprise in tank players! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Oh wait…

Yeah… if support was easier then we would have more tanks getting healed and more people playing tank. :slight_smile:

Well I’m saying some healers are harder, some are easier.

But role as a whole, not the hardest. Main tank is the hardest.
