Im VERY new to OW2. I have only 23 hours of playtime and MY GOD Tank is such a shit role to play. DPS? Fine, I play Mei and most of the time do alright. Support? I play Moira and im doing excellent amounts of healing and damage, even competing with DPS players sometimes. I would say I have Moira and Mei down and am pretty solid at them considering I’m a complete noob
But Tank. HELL NO. No matter what Tank I play I get shit on in SECONDS. One of my friends mains Roadhog so I tried playing that guy and holy god this dude does zero damage it feels like. Im having to empty my whole mag into one enemy and it’s not gauranteed that they will die, wtf is up with that? I also struggle because no support wants to stick with me. Meanwhile if I am Moira I will stick by the Tank if I feel it’s neccessary/we need a hard push. If you fuck up as Tank you basically cost the entire match
I have no idea if im playing Tank wrong. My one friend absolutely abuses the enemy team with Roadhog meanwhile I would rather play Tracer blindfolded and on reversed controls becuase Tank is torture to play
Tank is living hell in this game. Avoid this role at all costs for your own sake
Playing tank isnt that easy. You need to understand which parts of the map are important for your team comp. Its very easy to lose track of the backline when on tank - like a sombra might be keeping your supports occupied while you might commit to a push. Its not that easy role.
Play orisa. She’s OP. Even zarya has a hard time with her if nobody shoots her shield. Zarya is great too if you’re dying instantly. Ram is good because his ult is pretty nuts. But yeah, tank is just a lot of counter switching.
roadhog is good but he’s just not it this season, especially in 5v5. he’s good but has sooo many counters that it’s hard to make him work in the higher ranks
