Where are all the tank players?

go a tank with shield and you can do everything.

Tank in qp is still enjoyable

barely. 2/3 out of 10 games like.

This attitude as you call it is legitimate. The tank role is terrible, since there are only a few real tanks and the rest are just jacked up dps. If this is what you think is the way to play, they should just do away with roles altogether and call it 5 on 5 dps. If they want roles, then the characters should fit those roles. A tank should protect, a dps should damage, and a support should heal. Blizz has screwed it up by making those dps tanks almost unkillable, but they offer almost nothing in the way of protecting the members of the team. That is why they don’t counter you as a tank, but they can just jump in and kill 3 of your squishy teammates instead. If I wanted to play a game where everyone was a dps I would play COD.

hold up. so hear me out. there’s this concept in overwatch that is known as “AOE” it stands for “Area of Effect”. see also “Range”. so Junkerqueen has such an “AOE” and if you press W to push with your tank instead of S to back up to spawn, you would be in her “AOE” so she can “Shield” you with her “Overhealth”. Imagine that. Getting aggressive with Junkerqueen, whose voiceline should now be integrated into the game: “Your Queen says: CHAAARGE!”, actually protects you.

First, by closing distance with the most opportune target fast, often actually a dps that cannot be allowed to gain value, often a support who can be quickly taken out, you are denying them the range to do the work they need (going high ground on a widow or a soldier). second, if they have dive heroes, being with your Junkerqueen again protects you better because you will be in range for shout instead of running to our spawn where their tracer led you like a wolf away from the flock. And she will be in range for an easy knife or melee which immediately forces recall. She’s great at dealing with reaper and genji too.

Then of course there’s dva, where eliminating their hitscan early wins you most games. and for her boosters, they have a range. so don’t be all the way at our spawn while she dives widow, because she can peel for you within a certain range very fast. You just gotta annoy the hitscan enough to switch to sym and then I go back to JQ lol and she dies first every fight and then during her ult because my axe and knife melee ignore shield and so does my ult.

We have to take solo responsibility for the front like and protecting the backline, plus learn several heroes to we know how to counter or get hard flamed.

sounds more logic if you say it like that. never lookied it from the other side, only from greedy fast dps que, wel i agree with you
