It just seems to me that everybody that complains about tanks and supports ultimately just wants to DPS with tanks or supports while at the same time tanking or healing.
People just want the other roles to do the DPS’s job just as good as them or better.
I probably should’ve started with this, but I don’t want Tank to be able to frag out like Damage can. I want them to feel like heroes, not gameplay tools.
Most tanks, as in orisa, as in that’s 1 tank out of 7 different tanks. And she’s more than that, she de facto determines the success of frendly abilities and cooldowns with her halt combos.
That’s literally the same as tanks + they mostly control the entire positioning and flow of a fight.
Listen, fair enough, that’s your preference. Imho the reasons behind low tiers having more fun on damage comes from the thought that damage and kills win games, therefor when they play tank they might as well play just as an Orisa barrier since that’s the most potential they see in a hero and rely + expect dps to do -all the work- so they can then press W and move to a different location.
Don’t even get me started on low elo supports. Just stand somewhere out of position (If you die it’s dps fault, cuz he didn’t kill him first) And heal whatever is closest to you or what you see (If someone dies it’s dps fault cuz they didn’t defeat the enemy beforehand) and do nothing else… Yeah I’d be bored 2 with taht mentality (this is not aimed at you OP, i’m just venting a bit)
but “we need a shield” though

I personally don’t think that Orisa is the only tank those apply to.
Zarya’s barrier timing is her bread and butter, it’s tied directly to her main damage output.
Finding an equilibrium between offense an defense is what makes a good Reinhardt.
Sigma needs to know when his barrier isn’t being useful so he can call it back and charge it up.
Winstons who throw a bubble down as soon as they land are laughed at.
Not every tank holds the same combo setup potential as Orisa either, not without an ultimate, which is to me a problem.
True enough, but a sniper commands just as much respect if not more.
What’s with this? Unrelated and pretty blunt, if not flat-out rude to lower ranks.
But it’s soooo true I can’t help it. Not all of them ofc, but the hardstuck ones for sure, and I see them as a toxic epidemic.
Hammond, yes.
Sigma? No. He turned the game into a red rectangle simulator.
Play Reinhardt for a game and then go and play Mei or Doomfist. On rein you feel like a punching bag. On doom or mei you feel like a god who can just solo carry the games. That is why I suggest all tanks reroll and then blizzard can enjoy 20 minute dps queue times.
Not just tanking… it looks like the overall game looks like an absolute pain to play in.
Yeah.
Pick a Hog, Zarya, Dva or Wrecking ball and that line triggers.
It’s almost like it’s scripted at this point.
People don’t want ‘‘tanks’’ they want a barrier.

Fell in love with this game playing Winston, my first main, and learning Rein. Previously, I thought maps determined a heroes viability and now its more less the meta synergies.
Plus you have all these people telling you how to play, “PICK ORISA REEEEEEEE”, I’m feeding, yeah – you’re not following up when a dive is called, you’re missing your shots, you wasted your cooldowns, just stand there and hide with 45 hp until a support 180s and finds you scared hiding from a Zenyatta across the map.
and less furries and animal relationed tanks…
…so don’t tank then?
