I’m in plat 1 right now and just played a game where one of my DPS was raging at me for playing Sigma into a pharamercy echo comp. I’m confused as to who else I’m supposed to play? My thought process was Sigma’s orbs are medium ranged, don’t have to be direct hits to deal damage, and the absorb/rock can counter Pharah’s ult. I had really good stats but still got yelled at. He also didn’t say what other tank to play so I’m just confused. Is there a better tank to play against flyers?
If you really want, just ignore and avoid everyone else at the beginning of the fight and just get your team to focus pharamercy. Once they’re done you’re free to do whatever you’d like without your team dying. As a tank though it shouldn’t be your priority. All you should do as tank is play in such a way that you don’t demand too much from your team that they struggle to defend themselves from the pharamercy. Play defensively as Sigma too if you can, or play D.VA into her. Those two are usually good against her.
