And nobody told you to be a tank? How do you even enjoy this game anyway? I main supports, like, I’m an insta-lock support. Most of the time in the hero selecting screen I chose Mercy or which support I felt like playing and play as them. I didn’t get criticized for it. Why the double standards? And how do you even enjoy this game? I’m really curious about that.

You sound like a child, grow up and stop pretending that you hold any moral high ground in arguments about a video game because you have a crap life.

I don’t enjoy losing. I play the game to improve, and I can literally never do that on DPS because I would tank (wordplay intended) my SR while doing it because nobody else on my team can ever tank competently. Therefore, I get no practice with any of the dps heroes because Blizzard hasn’t added role queue and role SR and seems to be dragging their feet adding it because they know how unpopular tanking and healing is.
I barely play the game now. I play just enough games to place at the end of the seasons so I get my master rank and don’t decay (another trash anti-user mechanic that serves no function outside of top 500).
I’d like the game a hell of a lot more if I could be anything other than the other team’s sandbag for all of my games without effectively throwing my SR away.

eh in those 5 dps scenarios its best just to go dps too! so it ends faster either way lol.
If dps players always see 6 dps on their team they might be okay with it! They dont want to force people in the tank or healer role because they wouldnt want that done to them. Or they might complain that there are no healers or tanks who knows.
This is precisely why I play whatever the hell hero I want to play. I’m not interested in what other people want me to pick. i will play what I want, when I want, and I will play to the best of my ability.
I’m not going to drown in a BS meta that forces everyone to do something they don’t want to do. Instead, I’ll have teammates that play what they enjoy because they then have motivation to get good at it. The meta is really enjoy to demolish once you get people playing heroes they genuinely love.

Can’t when you’d spammed i need healing 6 times, and the Ana is insistent on healing that Rein at full hp
then still reports you for typing in chat.
Role Q is be fine. Just let it have mirror matches so there is no change in q time.
If everyone wants to be DPS both sides with have 6 DPS against 6 DPS.
As a DPS player, I have the utmost respect for people who want to tank and support because I personally find it excruciatingly boring. As far as I’m concerned they are a better person for playing such a valuable role, regardless of whether they’re doing it because they enjoy it, or because the team needs it.

I do and it’s moronic.
If you’d want to DPS— DPS.
You choose to play roles you don’t want and get mad at everyone else.
That is your choice. That is how you decided to play the game. I am not going to kiss your feet for it.
I know how to tank. I have 3 accounts. I’ve had this game since launch. But I don’t enjoy it so I don’t do it. Healing is fun, but only in a stack with teammates who communicate. Solo queue? Never again.
I see this so much. This forum will whine and whine and stomp your feet about how you REALLY WANNA dps because you’re so tired of tanking and healing— do it.
Do it or be quiet. I don’t want your shield or your healing if you have some kind of chip on your shoulder about it. There’s plenty of people who actually WANT to play tank and WANT to play healer that I have 0 issues with. I’m just someone who happens to want to kill things.
I was a Genji onetrick that climbed from bronze to gold to plat in the first seasons of comp. I never got heals. I never had tanks. I found health packs. I learned to stop rushing in. I got better. I adapted to the absolute chaos that was low silver on console. I got USED TO bad team comps and no tanks no healers to the point where having one is a pleasant surprise, but not an expectation. I got so used to it I didn’t even care anymore.
I am not the one begging for 2/2/2. I am fine with 6 dps, 5 dps and a Lucio, GOATS, pirate ship— whatever. It’s always the people who “get tired” of healing or tanking that blame everyone else; as if I literally kidnapped your family and won’t let them go until we win 50 games with you on Moira.
I’m over it. 1000%. Call me selfish call me trash call me names block me— whatever helps people feel better. All of this drama because you wanna play Hanzo but you ALSO want your perfect team comp, but you don’t wanna use LFG.
You want the team to be exactly the way you want it so much that you’ll stay in heroes and roles you don’t like and still find some way to blame the DPS for not conforming to that when you’re the one who’s unhappy.
Pick dps. Just do it. But you won’t, and you’ll tell yourself it’s because you’re being “selfless” to make yourself feel better when in reality we both know that has no meaning in this context.
You are not doing me any favors by picking tank. If you’re picking tank for me when I literally did not ask you to? I don’t owe you anything.
I did not ask for it. You provided it of your own free will expecting something in return when you should’ve done it because you wanted to do it. I’m only going to thank you if 1: I ask for it or 2: you are a helpful teammate in the match.
Use LFG or pick DPS.
Or keep filling and hating it and convincing yourself it’s the Tracer’s fault for playing Tracer and somehow “making you” be Orisa.

Seriously. No one with a real life and real problems comes on here to cry about tanks and healers. Dude works two burger flipping jobs and thinks he’s an adult. Yeah, ok.
Literally just making crap up to try to insult me. What’re you going to come up with next? I love reading all these fanfics about me.
Fanfiction implies people like you to make stories. Clearly, no one here likes you. Need to drop that ego a bit there bud.
i like how she says it, its perfect.
also Sym’s So Dramatic line would fit here too i think
I’d upvote you more than once if I could.
ive seen that happen too. usually i give them the benefit of the doubt.
why are they doing that? i dont know! maybe its brain lag?!
You obviously don’t know how worthless LFG is in masters. It’s literally not an option. No groups are ever made, and even if by some miracle you get one, they’re no better than playing with complete randoms.
I’ll lay this out for you as simply as I can: I play tanks because I can’t depend on anyone else to do it, and I care about winning. You even said yourself that you don’t. Why do you think you have a leg to stand on in this argument?
He does remember Brigitte.
Or Mercy.
Or old Support Sym.

i’m going to point out specific areas to not agree with, then i’ll give my opposing arguments, then theres a chance i might throw in some !!s or lols in a sarcastic manner, that always makes me feel better and look much cooler also…
i’m also going to throw in some facts about my life that validate my reasonings, so i look even more justified and right
i’m not funny i’ll stop now, now i need a drink 
(tries to insert a comment that tries to calm the storm, sound super smart, and deludes myself into thinking i’m the cool funny guy) i like myself
:edit: to be fair, the first two words in the title does say vent thread, so i vented?
Fanfic = made up story.
But please keep assuming I care about being liked
