Tanks are constantly throwing games in Plat

mood. like “hey im putting my shield in an angle to make a path from the choke to this conveniently placed door/corridor to the side, why are you guys still hiding in the choke pls just go into the corridor”

Oh, not even that. Their orisa places shield and I place mine behind her so she gets shut off from their supports unless the backs off and claim the space but the DPS doesn’t move with me lol.

Duo queue. Duo queueing gives more potential for carrying in roles outside dps. Or go brig or Moira. Everyone says Moira is the go to healer to rank out of plat but I’ve done super well with Brig duo queueing with other support mains. 73% winrate. But duo queueing with anyone in or out of your role will give you better results due to more reliable ult economy

Me not as a Tank:

You’d be surprised how many tanks in Plat feed religously. I catch myself doing it sometimes! We all wanna be GM but can’t help ourselves :joy:

I’ve been playing Support and am nearly Diamond, of course I know what a bad Plat Tank looks like :stuck_out_tongue: My point is, they should know better than that already.

If you think that you’re better than them or anyone else, sure, go a head and play them since you seem to know so much already.

You dont seem to even know what throwing means 100% yourself.

So we’re now over the DPS scapegoating now we circle back to tanks ?
sigh

I am a master tank player and master support player. Been Playing Dps.

What I say about plat is actually true. It’s not like its a secret or anything.

Bronze - Plat, a good % of tank players soft throw the match.

Oh really? I dont believe you until you show the proofs. So please do so.

What you say about plat is not actually true. It’s not like you’re know it all or anything.

You havent been telling any valuable points so far.
Just accusing that someone’s (every tank player) is throwing just cause you say so.

um, its actually common knowledge. You don’t even need to take my word for it.

Just go watch any youtuber or streamer. Heck, go watch Jane if you want. Any coaching videos too.

It’s common knowledge in the overwatch community that these things are a common occurrence in specific tier ranges.


In fact, another common knowledge would be this. A Large % of moira in bronze - Gold flank behind the enemy team. Why? Because it works. They cant climb higher than plat because they created a bad habit for themselves.

When in reality, Smart players change from being a flanking moira, to a proper Moira player for Diamond+ whereas flanking is rarely done or normally only done on clean up phase or a situation where the player feels the risk is worth it without losing too much value if the risk turns bad.


The game honestly does not start until mid diamond. Anything before that is a mess.

Pick a main tank then and do better :upside_down_face:

No it’s actually not common knowledge. Show me proofs about you being a master tank/support or your arguement stays unviable.

You cant always get games where everyone does exactly what you want.
You need to realize that sooner than later.

And no. I wont go and start bandwagoing youtubers/streamers.
Also you spelled Jayne wrong.
I know who he is and watched his videos for a couple years so far. But that doesnt matter now & I dont know why you even bring that up.

Anything can work in lower ranks. That’s common knowledge for you.

No offense but players like you who thinks that they know everything are actually pretty annoying.

Just imagine any claim in this video being true.

It’s not just Plat. Certainly Silver and Gold are full of hard feeding Hamsters and Hogs, and over aggro Reins.

This is what happens when the only important SR for players is their DPS stat.

I think you are here to argue just to argue. Some of us have been playing this game since Beta. We have played through every patch. We know what heroes used to be, what the game used to be, ect.

We have a lot of experience and knowledge about the game overall.

So yes, quite a few of us are entitled to knowing what we are talking about especially when we are always update to date with everything and the ins and outs the same way how a football enthusiast is with the knowledge of the sport they like.

I am not going to sit here and just randomly make things up just “because”. Of course not every match is like how I described. If it was, this game would of been a massive failure. But I am sorry if you are somehow offended that others might understand the overall game and the tiers/community a little more than you.

You may call me a know it all, but if nobody was EVER allowed to know anything without a large plaque that says “This person is entitled to knowing it all about the subject”, then nobody would ever have any insight or wisdom to give on any subject or matter because “You” want to believe nobody is allowed to know what they are talking about.

Fair enough
