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?
I genuinely play only Rein and Orisa because i enjoy them now in OW2. I stopped playing Orisa when she got buffed in S6 though, did not want to get flamed for playing her even if i only do so because i enjoy her, not to counterpick. So i spent a season playing Rein into Doom. That was fun.
