“wE nEeD sHeiLd” “tAnK wHy ArE yOu gOiNg In?” “tAnK dIfF”. Stop. Take a good look at the stats and say that one more time. I literally get throwers with twice as many deaths as kills blaming me (the tank) for not ‘tanking’. I get supports with 1k heals in 6 mins saying “tank diff” in match chat. I get flamed and blamed on constantly, every singe match. Only when the tank is doing bad should you say this, but no, they say it as much as they want, when they want. God, these low ranks are a nightmare. (Silver to Diamond)

Tank mains rise up. I’ve thrown games if the DPS has a go at me. “No tank” I’ll show you no tank

I actually did chuckle at their joke.
So… 
Tank might be the first one blamed, but supports come second. Especially when damage refuces to peel even a little to help keep the backline alive.
People don’t seem to grasp that it’s a team game and everyone needs to support everyone.
You have a brawl tank, be ready to either spray that battle with a lot of damage or go in with them. Preferrably go in with them to scatter the enemy fire.
Tanks are strong, but they need support too. Losing a game is everyone’s fault equally, sometimes only because teamwork was lacking.

you really forgot that throwers are a thing in this game? Quite alot of them too.
I personally haven’t had too many throwers, but they are a problem.
Mostly because they have chosen to ignore teamwork and just be a menace.
ahh, you must be enjoying it in the higher ranks. Im down here in middle east servers in plat and gold ranks with throwers every game.

Tank diff is not uncommon, because Tanks are extremely powerful and can hard carry, but usual the difference is not that big that your teammates can’t compensate. (Background: Sitting at 63% WR this season on tank, on Ram with 70+ games, EU unranked MMR around plat)
Second: Anyone can slack or is not providing enough for reasons within their power and outside

is impossible. the full game is about hardcounter the enemy tank and win…
if only i could boop them off the map “on accident”
Tanks do shoulder too much of the blame and the responsibility, but the scoreboard is mostly meaningless. It only ever shows egregious problems, like when your Echo is 1-7 with less damage than the Sombra and you’re 8-4 on tank. Beyond extreme situations like that, it doesn’t convey any meaningful information.
Have you noticed how DPS damage stats have gone down in Season 9? Yeah, they are doing less damage, but that’s because they are doing more effective damage. Meanwhile tank and support damage doesn’t mean squat unless they are hitting the same targets the DPS is. It’s not like healing got nerfed.
This might not apply to you, just don’t use the scoreboard to make a point. Overwatch can’t be summarized with such simple stats.

You make a good point, yet the scoreboard is what everyone relies on in my servers. And i use that as an example to showcase my superiority over the throwers and whiners on my team.
That’s 5v5 for you. Tank is the easiest scapegoat.

Maybe if these braindead dps players WOULD TARGET AND KILL THE SUPPORTS FIRST THE ENEMY TANK WOULD ACTUALLY DIE.
Mercy constantly revives? It’s the tank fault I guess!
I seriously hate all of you tunnel vision trash.

Alternatively, we could just burst their tank down and make the supports waste their time trying to keep the punching bag alive. It is a hot take, but there is MORE than enough damage in the game to make that a reality.
Because that works so well with broken overtuned babymode abilities like Doom block.
