Hammond one tricks
also Rein players are easy to get triggered and always blame everyone else for their mistakes and i really dislike them they also the most who trash talk in the chat and cry the most about everything you see them cry in team chat and trash talk in game chat at the same time
mostly tanks players throw more than other roles
some Doomfist one tricks also they throw more than other dps
for support i found Mercy player are the one who throw more than other support players

this game is really tank reliant, even if people deny it’s true. If your tanks are bad it’s almost impossible to win. Hamster is the character most tanks throw on in my games

the Danish Roll, thing is just so good
Im not gonna blame a specific role because as long as people are actually trying I dont accuse them of throwing. Yeah they may be bad, but if they at least try Im fine.
However there’s a special evil from players who lock Moira and solo flank the whole game.
Sorry to say but those heroes are responsible but not for their poor performance but lack of player skill.
Sombra
Often it’s a joker playing them. Going stealth, running to enemy spawn and spamming voicelines. They also are likely to decloak and crouch spam with enemy support making it a 5v6 as the support they are playing with can heal passively. If you do get a semi-serious Sombra they try playing her like TF2 spy.
I’ve only had one good Sombra:
Symmetra/Torbjorn
Often played for their Turrets and cannot use/process their toolset. If I can’t insta-lock Symmetra, my ally will suicide attempting to charge off a Barrier in the most obvious, non-strategic and wasteful way that guarantees them getting killed they never use Orbs and group Turrets on ground level. The Torbs can’t aim/use shotgun mode at a distance.
Bastion
Stays in Turret mode 100% of the time and will never relocate despite imminent dangers.
Easy, tanks and supports because of priority pass. And also because of quick queue times, they can just jump into another game. DPS have much more invested.
With that said, dps are just as if not more guilty of soft throwing. You know, those guys that one trick widow for a whole game with no aim and on a map with no sight lines. They clearly know they are giving the team no value but they don’t care.
I disagree–most tanks don’t have the damage output to kill the enemy Hog/Winston or Bastion or Pharah etc.
Tanks absolutely do a ton of damage (mostly due to AOE) and often have DPS medals–especially with high-charge Zaryas, Ball, Sig, or a brawling Rein. However, they tend to lack burst damage and sustained AOE–which is often necessary to land kills. This is the job of DPS–in addition to applying shield and off-angle pressure with the off tank.
I’ve had games on tank where I’m getting flamed by DPS for making 2-3 picks per fight (while my team is alive) with all the DPS medals/elims/obj time [in before “medals don’t matter”] and a 3:1 ult ratio to my DPS. “We don’t have space!” Folks, contrary to popular belief, DPS make space too. We’re losing a 3v5 over and over; and I’m losing my mind trying to figure out what else to do while you’re blaming the tanks.
Usually, this is followed by a loss and a “report our X[tank] for throwing” in /all. That’s wild to me. I think DPS severely underestimate their impact on the game.
Very aggro tanks who try to 1v6 the enemy team and teammates in general who don’t know what grouping up is.

I’d say supports intentionally throw the most; they don’t get saved once or twice and immediately rage and then either spend the rest of the game DPSing or just not healing certain members of the team. Rather than improving their play by sticking closer to allies or just dealing with the attacker themselves if it’s a DPS.
Tanks probably unintentionally throw the most. Bad positioning leading to them getting blown up or picking a bad character for the map, etc.
Please don’t say sombra, sym, torb, or bastion, because I sure as hell know that none of you work around those heroes anyways.
locking a character and just expecting everyone to play around you without confirming with them is a throw. Even if it wasn’t, Bastion sucks anyways. If you aren’t good enough at these characters to make them work without 5 teammates pocketing you, that’s also basically throwing.

Tanks are the easiest role to throw on, IMO. A main tank that doesn’t understand how to create space or even just engage properly will either turbofeed or not be aggressive enough. In Overwatch you’re at a severe disadvantage if any player on your team is throwing or doing extraordinarily poorly, though.
The one i play. 
Like, actually, hard throwing? Damage, easily. Constantly one raging because they’re doing dumb stuff and getting annihilated for it.
Soft throwing (poor character choices, selfish playstyles, not syncing with teammates)? Lately, its been Tank. But I sadly suspect that’s ALSO mostly Damage players. Loooooot of people trying to dodge Damage queue times by going Ball or Hog.

Imagine playing tank with a Mercy/Zen as healer
Oh yeah it’s tanks who throw
No wonder why there are so many Hog and Ball players smh
I’ve seen horrible tank players but nothing as near as supports purposely throwing. Examples being speed only DPS lucio and DPS moira in the enemy team backline.
Also some horrible DPS players that will complain at everything the team does even though you’re doing more damage as a tank than they will ever do.
There’s so much hate towards tanks no wonder why no one plays it. I’m a tank main and the toxicity we get is far beyond normal
You guys complain about tanks throwing? Do a better job yourself -proof all of us wrong and queue for tank instead of wating 10 minutes to play DPS and show us everyone how to create space without healing or barely any damage.
It’s a win win - since you guys clearly know better how to play tank than anyone and you like complaining so much, why don’t you play tank? Better queue times for everyone and you wouldn’t be throwing, right? Heh.

This thread has taught me that people think throwing just means not performing well or making the choices they’d make.

I’ll say DPS cause it’s what I’ve been playing, zing!
Cause it is. Genji won’t switch because he’s a Genji main and dives 1v6 into Symm nests or Zaryas with Winstons. People will switch to snipers to counter Pharah and can’t counter her at all, but keep trying instead of helping me on the point. And just overall overextend, die and spam “I need healing”.

Im sorry to say this but supports by a wide margin.
They tend to pocket one of the roles and neglect the other then blame the neglected role for the loss.

Cant say its a role specific thing.
However, when only 1 DPS throws, its still winable. If your tank throws, call it a day. Almost the same counts for support, but even then sometimes u can make up for it.
Tank throw is the most crucial one.

mercy players with their ohh i have gold healing 10k per 10 then i ask their damage amp uhh 27
I mean considering when I play I see people getting accused of things that aren’t true all the time, and people who “call them on it” are generally toxic, I think a troll response is the best you’re going to get.
