  • Also, all the takes that “it sucks that the tank is blamed for losses” ignore the fact that this is often true. So many games are lost because people don’t understand what a tank does, or don’t bother to learn their hero’s kit. Dvas who stand back and don’t press W, Sigmas who don’t learn how to manage shield, Hammonds that just stand in front of the team and shoot before rolling into junkrat trap over and over. If you play tank without understanding how to play your hero, or without understanding that the role isn’t just “big guy should kill more things” your team is going to lose, and get killed, full stop.



  • Try to remember that it’s not personal. What the toxic person is saying is literally not about you, it’s about them.

    I’ve started throwing some people like that off. If it’s a teammate saying I suck, I ask for specific feedback. They have no idea what to do or say after that. If it’s an enemy player, I just feed off their toxicity.

    Like the enemy Reaper who told me to kms today because I kept killing them as Sombra. Got an earful about “sombra is cringe” blah blah blah. Then they switched to Sombra and I killed them harder. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Their real issue is they’re mad at themselves that they’re not good at countering her because they don’t know how she plays, so they take it out on someone else. Whatever.


  • This just isn’t true though. Example: everyone counter picks against D.Va with Zarya. This is great, except when I play D.Va I’m not going head to head with Zarya. I have mobility to get away from Zarya - and start harassing her supports, forcing her to blow bubbles on them (no pun intended but funny to imagine) so we can then burst her down as a team and get a pick or two on supports in the meantime. Or she’s not using bubble for that, but spinning around panicking using them on herself while no one is even hitting her because I’m DMing her dps’s shots while mine get picks.

    Counter picks are no match for strategy, game sense, and exploiting enemy mistakes.
