You immediately assume the wrong thing here.
You’re unfairly making the subject about me when we’re talking about tanking dude.
Or, did you intend that response to be an attack?

I have no idea what you are talking about; however, Nano is correct. You are not going to outplay three to five counters with the melee range hero the size of a truck. 
It’s just not mathematically possible.

Yes, tanking, that thing that sometimes requires you to let go of the ‘W’ key even when you’re playing Reinheardt or Zarya
So switch then
If you can’t do it, then you gotta bite the bullet
That’s Overwatch 2016
Yeah, tanking sucks.
Even as the burliest of tanks, a Reinhardt can still explode.
Got nothing to do with me man. Dunno why you're fixated on changing the topic to me as a tank.
There is a difference between discussing tanking as a role as an experience, what I’ve seen happen TO tanks, and how I individually play tank. You’re getting your wires crossed here, and nothing productive can come from this.

I literally said earlier that you don’t always walk forward and you came back at me with “you’ve never heard of rush”
That’s you implying Rein players should always walk forward no matter the cost. And no I don’t mean that hyper literally as in you’re saying they should beeline always, just that you’re implying to always be more aggressive than you perhaps should be.
You’re implying bad habits being a good thing, and that’s bad
All I said is I’ve seen Reinhardt’s explode.
You took that to mean holding W and only walking forward no matter what. Which makes zero sense.
I never implied anything.
You implied this. All I said is Tanks can explode.
What you’re implying is that anytime a tank explodes is because they held ‘W’ too long and ignored the cost of walking forward. Even if I take your side, it still makes no sense.

Whatever man. Whether yku think so or not, you implied the W+M1 strategy. It’s still up there, you can read it yourself.
That’s not the one guy
Your responses since the beginning of this exchange have been nonsensical.
Whatever it is you’re trying to say or accuse me of makes absolutely no sense.

It’s nonsensical of you to say that
I say don’t walk forward if you’re definitely gonna die, you say nah bruh that’s how you play tank. How am I the crazy one?
I fell in love with Ball when he launched and played pretty much only ball since. Climbed from diamond to masters on OW1 with ball. Then OW2 comes out and my hero sucks and now that everyone knows to just counter the tank ball is literally impossible to play unless you’re yeatle and EVEN YEATLE says ball sucks. He can do it, but he literally does nothing but absorb cooldowns and run away and then complains about how miserable tank is in 5v5.
It’s so f’n stupid how tanks aren’t allowed to play the heroes they’re good at anymore… you just have to hop on the counter tank every 60 seconds or lose train. I’ve played 2 games this season. None of them tank. I hate OW2. Marvel rivals could suck and I’ll still enjoy it more than OW2 cause it’s 6v6.

The only thing I said is:
I have seen Reinhart die/explode as soon as his shield cracks
You are the only person going on about walking forward, which has nothing to do with that.

It definitely has something to do with that guy
If your shield is exploding, it means you shouldn’t walk forward yet because your team either isn’t applying enough pressure or needed to fall back to recuperate
Yes, tanks can explode. No, they don’t just explode if they’re played correctly.
I never said anything about walking forward.
What are you not understanding?
There are a multitude of factors outside your control that determine if you explode or not.

Me too, and I’m a tank main. It’s just not worth the headache, crappy experience, and then to cap it all off, your team will flame you even when they played Moira mercy into hog. It’s in an awful state right now, as told by the several minutes long dps and support queues. (Even if they lie and say <1 min LOL yea right).
And again you implied it whether you think so or like it or not
It’s like so plain to see but you’re blind to it for no reason
