People don't play tank because

Why do i keep fighting your smurf at 800sr every night.

But there is a clear division between the macro/micro type skills. Both require neurokinetic ability but micro is faster twitchier and short-term, macro is the sort of long-range iq.

1. macro - gamesense, positioning, timing, awareness, ultimate economy, comp synergy, map control, poke staging, combo’ing, interaction value, utility and win conditions.

2. micro - aim, cooldown prediction/reaction, rotation management, baiting/juking, interaction timing, clutching.

As a 30 y.o. gamer my macro is wayyy too good for my rank but my micro (and trash 60hz monitor) keep me at lower tiers. I expect to be 1-2 tiers higher on tank and support than dps.
