Please explain not following the tank

Not Ball or Doom… I am talking about Sig, Ram, Rein, etc

Its constant that people just flat out refuse to follow me and then yell at me for not “grouping up”? I thought it was bad in OW1 but this is far worse. “Tank why are you not with us?”… Why didn’t I turn around and follow you guys on low ground? I am the tank so if you want to group up follow me. “YOU AREN"T THE LEADER JUST CUZ YOUR TANK!”… So you want me to follow you and go in first?

If you don’t sit on cart with 4 other people you are overextending and throwing. If you try to setup dives as winston/doom/ball you are throwing. If you don’t run in mindlessly and get yourself killed you are “throwing because not pushing”. DPS or Supports constantly standing in the open “throwing because not shielding them”.

The quality of players I am matched with in both QP and Comp has gone down the tube but that doesn’t stop me from being forced to play against Masters+ players. Most tanks are nearly impossible to play correctly now without being yelled at…
