Small rant. Just played Tank. Got told I was horrible despite protecting team, pushing back enemies, going into overtime at every point (team just couldn’t pull it off), having decent elim count, lowest deaths, damage almost more than combined dps, more than triple mitigation than opposing team combined, and getting endorsed by two other teammates.
Honestly, the trolls who unwarrantedly attack Tanks ruin the game more than reducing Tank roles from 2 to 1.
Do you have more mit then the LW? If the answer is no you are trolling, I can’t tell you how many games I have called out my tank(it’s normaly a ball or doom) who refuse to play anything else. I wait till after a few teamfights and Iook at the stats, if I see low MIT and elims, I request they switch to a more meta tank. Round ends and you still don’t switch I’m calling you out in teamchat, and 9 times out of 10 the response is, “it’s just qp bro”, and you are correct but you are not playing your role you are playing the team sabotage role.
If I see that it’s clear the game is lost because of the tank, I’ll switch to a hero idk how to play.
The problem tbh is them removing a 2nd tank and having every other season having bad news in terms of content. It’s destroyed alot of players faith in the future of this game.
I personally think Mei and sym could make for some fun tanks over doom and ball, and would remove the annoyance that comes with having a doom/ball as your tank.
