What rewards can we offer you to go main tank instead of Hog/D. Va?
More loot boxes?
A “Thank you” note from Blizzard?
A “You’re amazing” postcard?
Like, tell us what you need.
Edit: Main tank includes Hammond and Winston.

For me? Maybe 5 or 10 cp (but only once a day). I would play 1 match for those.
Zarya, Rein, Orisa, Sigma or Winston to me are just generally boring. I know a lot of people like them but I don’t. I just don’t like managing shields really. WB is fun but again, a lot of people don’t like having a WB because it’s not a shield.
Well being that there is no ‘main tank’ and ‘off tank’ distinction and Noob play is for leveling and learning … nothing as there is no reason to switch to a non-existent category.

If it needs a reward to make people play it, there is already something wrong, my guy.

The category definitely exists. That’s why Jeff mentioned that if they implement 1-3-2, they will either move Hog and D.Va to the DPS category, or rework them to be “real” tanks.
He wouldn’t have said that if such a distinction between “main tank” and “off-tank” didn’t exist.

Really ? show me in game where there is a category called ‘main’ or ‘off’ tank and not just tank.
I queue as tank, I play D’Va, want to play a wall, queue as tank yourself and choose that hero.
Guaranteed boxes every single match
Tighter MM
The ability to actually play the damn role instead of getting locked into something else because rOlE qUeUe wAs a gOoD iDeA. Like I’m one of the few players who strongly prefers main tank over off tank but nooooooooo fLeX iS jUsT bAd dPs mAiNs
Stop… just stop with this idea of “main tank”… that meme needs to die a fast death.

Hammond is fun to play. A lot of envirnmental kill, disrupting enemies formation, high mobility and boops are fun.
I only take him and off tanks.
Main Tanks are boring af and that’s why nobody take them in QP except some rein from time to time.
I was a tank main (D.Va) but I only left due to multiple nerfs (despite the booster buff). I was surprised to hear about an incentive to play unpopular classes. It’s essentially bribing players to play roles that they don’t want to play.
Untrash Sigma and Orisa
DPS queue credits (i.e. one game won as tank = 1 credit, can spend 5 credits to get a priority queue voucher for 1 hr as DPS)

It’s not a meme, it’s a legit class distinction that started the second players started playing this game competitively. Whether or not the developers intended it, I don’t know, but there is a very clear line between what kind of tank D.Va is and what kind of tank Reinhardt is.

Its going away is the issue, Actiblizzard has been balancing away from it. You need to catch up here.
Excuse me, but what changes have D.Va, Zarya, and Hog recieved to make them more like Rein, Orisa, and Winston or vice versa? I must have missed that major patch.
D.mon as main tank would be how
I would play main tank, in quick play, if the role had more depth. Right now, when you play Winston, Reinhardt or Orisa, the depth comes from counter picking, but the interactive part just boils down to “jump the sniper,” or “hold shield,” or “put pressure over there.” I’m not saying every role needs depth, but, when a role doesn’t have much opportunity to pull off sick mechanical plays, and no depth, then its not interesting enough to play.
Sigma buffs, more diverse meta in general.
Already do but that’s because I’m good. Be good like me, everyone.
Just get the enemy to go Mei. Hilarity ensues.
