It’s not a fun role, but it’s not a passive role either. Being the only tank in the team we rely on you to make the push… but lately there’s been a lot of passive ass tanks who just don’t push! We get a pick and most of time their still outside the point firing their pea shooters outside their preferred range oooor trying to… flank?
It’s all just quick play scrubs, but christ give me a Rein who charges in cause at least he’s doing something. I can at least try to defend him and he’s actively pushing them back by merely being there.
Being the only one Tank on the team applies more stress to the tank player, both mentally and digitally. The tank has the most jobs (create space, peel, kill, deny snipers, etc) and the most pressure to do them all. We get all the blame for every Defeat screen, and even seeing the enemy tank get told “TaNk DiFf”, you can often see that they were playing fine and you just had better teammates
