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.
Just a bunch of reasons why tanks can’t push:
being forced to wait out and respect abilities (Mei wall, Bastion turret)
having to wait for the dps and supports who just died to a sniper
not getting healed and being unable to push in with half hp
dps and supports not being able to deal with flankers
ends the game faster when merely playing for a weekly challenge
too much damage in the choke to even walk through until dps (and supports) either flank or take an off-angle
