Whenever I’m playing DPS or support and switch to someone that counters the enemy team usually no one says anything, but whenever I counterpick the enemy team as tank it seems like they get really mad?
Like I was playing a game earlier where the enemy had ana and orisa and I started out as rein, just barely won the first 2 team fights then switched to zarya when I died since I was almost useless at this point. After the round ended the orisa started going off in match chat saying they “just wanted to have fun” and “I was doing decently on rein so counterpicking was just rubbing salt in the wound” and stuff, even though I literally wasn’t doing very well 😭
When I pointed out they were playing someone who counters me they said that it’s different since they started the game as orisa.
Stuff like this happens all the time, is counterpicking as tank frowned upon or something?
At this point I blame Blizzard for not nerfing those two yet. Every game is just Zarya and Orisa and the occasional Doom. Every other tank is just considered throwing. If he wasn’t playing Orisa, I could see him being mad at you for counterpicking but he was just being a hypocrite lol.
