Why we refuse to play tanks

The reason we refuse to play this load of manure that blizzard calls tanks, the amount of abuse tanks go thro every game is saddening, why does every single hero and his grandma have a cc or a stun ?

May want to call this “Why I refuse”

There’s a lot of people actively saying they hate or refuse to play tanks for this reason. They didn’t say they were speaking for the whole community, but the part of it that hates tanks. There was nothing wrong with the use of we here.

Ok fine you’re right we should speak on behalf of eachother then…
He would have been able to make the same point by stating his own opinion…

But I’m glad you and the community agree with me

I literally said I don’t. We is referring to the people who have already stated that they hate playing tanks for this very reason, as well as those who feel the same way, but haven’t openly stated it. There is more than enough people for them who feel the same way for them to use we.

It’s literally one of so many reasons and to make the open claim that’s it’s the only reason is why it’s speaking on others behalf.
I also don’t like playing tanks but it has nothing to do with any of this post.

So to claim that “we” don’t like playing tanks because of what was stated has no bearing on why I don’t like it and makes it an oversimplified and uninformed post

The queue times speak for themselves, people don’t play dont not because of not being fun or what not, they don’t play it because being chain cced by everything is not fun

Not bent up

More of I want to see changes for tanks and posts like these make it look like we have no clue what we’re talking about.

So to make your own posts your own personal opinion goes a lot further than blanket claims

There just isn’t enough tank options to switch to, some of the DPS heroes completely counter most of the tank roster on their own and you end up praying for the DPS to kill them because you as the tank player can’t do anything about it.

Dps need to be able to kill tanks. If you’re getting smoked, then most likely YOU were out of position.

Dude you can’t even think of running dive against a half competent team, cc is way too much right now.

Then you play against them. Bunker up.

That would be derailing his point that there’s only one reason :stuck_out_tongue:
Besides I’ll make my
Own opinion post for why I don’t like them if I deem it necessary

Maybe if Blizzard would develop more tank and support heroes rather than more DPS heroes the game would be in a much better state. Oh, wait, the game is basically a stagnating mess because of the upcoming cash grab.

I can’t speak for everyone, but in my case, it’s because of role queue.

Half of my hero pool is composed of tanks, but they are never my first option to start playing. So if I have to decide what I should queue at, it’s rarely tank. When I play open queue, often I swap to tank mid-game, or depending on the map. Eg, Rialto is a map I really enjoy playing tank.
