I really canât understand tanks complaining they have to tank CC. Isnât that what your job is? If you donât like tanking damage/CC/abilities for your team, donât play tank?
Itâs also weird because tanks are the only characters with resistance to CC. Additionally, tanks are the characters who DISH OUT most of the CC in the game. Idk what tanks are expecting tank to be
For many people, the only âfunâ to be had is winning. You have a good mindset I wish more players had

I finally just had a game against a fellow Rein main. Both saluted each other, spammed beer and went ham. Forgot how great Rein 1v1âs feel. Our team did win, but it was great fun, close game. Reminds me that with these sort of things it make tanking-and as a result the game-fun.
Honor and Glory o7
Man am I glad to see someone else who shares my view. Itâs such a relief ty.
Glad I bothered to read this thread lol
No alt account.
I donât really care to stress the point of Zarya into Dva or Dva into beams as a whole anymore.
Theyâre not going to change anything so why bother.
If they wanted to do something theyâd let Dva take less damage from beams with armor so probably 50% mitigation. 40% more likelyâŚ
Itâs a pain to deal with but im just so focused on getting level 200 with Dva that I just kinda donât care. If they switch they switch, if I lose then whatever. All for the Dva levels
Play open q then? Double or triple tank meta. Also lower hp so you can actually kill another tank as a tank, which is fun.
So youâre pushing him away? Sounds like its working then, push him from one corner to the next and donât overextend. Sooner or later youâre on the objective and he either has to give it up or stay and fight.
it was only fun with another tank partner, nothing will change my mind this gameâs foundation is 6v6, no amount of garbage FFA/koth modes or crappy reworks they do will change that.

Tanking hasnât been fun for over a year. You must have really been able to avoid a lot of the crap Tank players have had to deal with since 5v5 was released if youâre only now saying that Tanking is miserable.

tanking has been and still will be fun⌠idk yall, i enjoy it
Having a tank âmainâ isnât how Tank works in OW2, and that is the problem imo.
Yknow its really weird how i never once implied that any of that was a problem. Yes, it is the tanks job to do that, but at what point does the tank matter if theyre so weak they feed the enemy team? A tank is supposed to be able to take CC and team attention WITHOUT getting instantly bullied. If there is only to be one tank, they all need to be able to sustain themselves just as well as the other. You dont need to passive aggressively hint that everyone who experiences problems on tank are not fit for the role. But. Alright 
i agree, but there are also those who dont mind losing if the game was good. the reason for the toxicity and frustration these days is because most of the time, the games are not good. they are all completely lopsided.
People would probably have a better attitude about the game if it wasnt so messed up
true, cant argue that. my main point was just that hog has a stronger kit than JQ, while having twice as much healthâŚand his hook bypasses the tank passive, whereas JQâs knife doesnt.
You know 1 tank slot is so bad when you see solo Reinhardt everywhere.
Yeah play tank is a terrible experience on ow2.
Add that is sooo hard to win against dva with no a beam heros on you team. Yeah this is because the full game is balanced around hardcounters/cc and 50% win/pickrate.
Blizzard cant understand that dva dont have higher winrate because she has hardcounters.
I agree and disagree. I agree that by reducing the number of tanks to 1, it makes bad match ups feel even worse (so much so that tank feels like high tech rock paper scissors). But at the end of the day learning how to play around those bad match ups is key to climbing especially as a tank.
Most people who try to be good at every tank so they can just counter swap constantly will (in general) never be as good or climb as high as a one-trick or someone who devotes their time to a couple tanks.
Why? Time investment (aka practice). Given the same amount of play time who will be better? The guy with say 500 hours across 6 different tanks (about 83 hours each) or the guy with 500 hours across 2 tanks (250 hours each)?
Again, this is just in general. Individual skill and talent plays into this as well. But my point still stands. In a hero shooter, thereâs always going to be âcounters.â A big part of the game is learning how to play around it.

85% of the current tank characters are not able to tank solo, but Blizzard is still not ready to read the truth.
Exactly this. Ive thought so for a long while now but everyone wants to chop ot down to âWell youre messing up in some wayâ. How? What more can i do when im the one doing the best of anyone else on the team? And It really just comes down to the fact that most of the tanks just dont have enough potential to make space and maintain it without both healers pocketing them
1st point is a good one.
Enjoy the queue times.
