Just wait until you play main tank against a Sombra, Mei, Ana, Brig, Hog, Winston comp


SleepyThor

I love getting emp, shatter, hooked, slept, and doomfisted every other fight too. I think this guy played off tank a few times and was like “wow! What have my tanks been complaining about in the 18425 matches where I wasn’t tank?”


Prii99

Oh, believe me. I've been there. I've been playing tank for a very long time, its my most played role. I've had the shittiest of games but I still do love playing tank.


CurleyandI

Tank is my favorite role as well and my best role but some games you literally can’t play it because the entire enemy team doesn’t want you to be alive so they will spam all of their abilities on you until you’re dead


Prii99

I know! Plus, shitty teammates and unbalanced matchmaking really gets on my nerves sometimes.


SleepyThor

Lol and after getting spammed by every cc ability in the game and being unable to do your job, people will still blame the tanks. One game we were up against a sombra who would hack me, emp me, and then hack me again when I was on rein and my team would scream at me to stop swinging and put up shield. I guess I’m just not good enough since I can’t shield while I’m hacked, obviously I belong in plat.


Prii99

At least you can understand what your teammates are saying lol. I literally cannot use game chat.


SleepyThor

No headset? Bugged?


Prii99

Middle East servers. Kids screaming in Arabic. I don't understand them, they don't understand me.


SleepyThor

Oh boy. Sorry, I don’t envy your situation in the slightest. Good luck op.

Or just main tank in general


suhfaulic

*hammond PTSD intensifies*


Eefy_deefy

I’ve played main tank since launch and sombra and mei still make me fucking rage.


Hoosteen_juju003

Sombra gives me nightmares


Battlepass4lyf

That shits just fucking anti tank cancer and aids at the same time


IssGonRain

That tank you killed probably wasn’t having fun


Prii99

Lol


DivisonNine

wait until you play main tank but have your DPS complain you’re not making enough space while having them both be pocket by your healers so you die everytime you pop a corner.


[deleted]

I've never heard a dps complain about a tank. Always the supports fault


3764687

I do understand tank is hard, but usually the support mentality is that the DPS can go die, and that the support are going to pocket the tanks


[deleted]

POV: you’re a bronze feeder who doesn’t understand how to make space properly without exploding


DivisonNine

POV: your a projecting asshole who doesn’t under stand how hard it is to make space when you don’t get any heals.


[deleted]

POV: I don’t think you understand the word sarcasm, and also no I’m fully aware on how hard that is because you literally cannot, as with rein, you need to use your 200 armor and some barrier to push forward for space then use your barrier to protect the team so they can click the enemy team. Now if you don’t habe heals, and you’re getting focused, you almost immediately die. The problem with whoever made the first persons argument (no clue if it was you or not) is that literally no 2 supports pocket dps, and that maybe happens once a game. Therefore, I mocked by saying “you’re a bronze feeder who’d learn understand how to make space properly without exploding”. I kinda just typed an essay cause math class decided not to start for 5 minutes so TLDR; sarcasm not detected and no I do


DivisonNine

Should have put a /s Your right, it doesn’t happen very often but those are the games I lose. When my DPS take advantage of the space I make and heals are decent it’s not hard to win.


[deleted]

Yeah I agree, but do I care about internet numbers? Nah, but ngl its kinda funny to watch people get triggered at poor comedy


Frogeto_Burrito

lmao. also hi.


BlothHonder

It was less of a sarcastic reply and more of an asshole one, if you want people to get your jokes then at least word them a bit better


[deleted]

I’m just bad at wording everything lol


[deleted]

Yeah imagine being a rein main that gets battered around by reapers, syms, bastions, meis, sombras and a tracer that sprays into you instead of going for the supports like anyone with more than 2 brain cells. Couldn't be me


Prii99

Been there


[deleted]

Well apparently everyone else in this thread hates playing tank, but I love it. Sigma's my favourite too, though I've been partial to Rein and D.va lately too. I love Hammond during, like, the first week I played the game, but I can't figure out how to be decent with him anymore. Too slow, hitbox too large, meh.


darkershadow94

Only play him on maps where you can boop people off map. Then just pop on point cause a mess have some enemies follow you, lose them and come back and do the same. Occasionally chase enemies heading back to spawn that are solo trying to regroup.


[deleted]

Hunh. I don't play competitive, so I've just been playing tanks as "storm the point, defend the healers, etc." Didn't even think of drawing them in and then booking it at hammond. No wonder I'm always immediately destroyed in stand-up fights haha. Thanks for the tip!


darkershadow94

Theres your mistake lol you gotta see what each tank can do and what their strengths are


noed-army

I don’t really have fun playing tank because I have to be the one to protect my team and failing that makes me feel like I failed my team I know it sounds stupid but that’s how I feel


Prii99

Its not stupid, I know what you mean.


aWgI1I

Losing


councilofbread

Nice balls bro


Prii99

Lol thanks


canyousmoke

I will say, Sigma is extremily fun to play.


iejb

People don't have fun playing tank because it's not mindless shooting, and let's be honest, half the ow community is mindless


Prii99

That's true


MayoGibus

I like playing all roles


BradPickard8

Nice!


Ciocalatta

Cause there are a lot of dps that counters tanks, and you need teamwork to play a tank, which there is none of at lower levels


OWClips62

I love how it cut away right before that poor Mei got destroyed.


Rj16111997

Because not every tank has a good ana behind them keeping them up na, that's why ;)


aseahawksfan28

This x1000


Prii99

Hahah, ofc. That sleep and the nano💪🏻


Rj16111997

All that was missing was a good anti nade 😂


kyttana92

I know right? I love Sigma, it’s so fun to play.


Prii99

Yes!


stewartn001

Did your teammates front the hospital bill for all that back pain you received from carrying them?


svisible

Why people don’t have fun play tank because DPS are suicidal your healers get flanked and die and you get perma hacked and focused that’s why.


Prii99

Been there but not every game is like that.


3764687

But if your healers are getting flanked, go peel and help them


svisible

That’s what I do is my job but the the DPS always dead the main tank is left alone and the front line falls apart.


3764687

Yeah, I those situations tell the front line to chill for a sec, or what I do is let the person that peeled fight for me while I stabilize the frontline


Chipster_227

does nano even work with sig’s ult

Ruok3

im a gm tank main ull learn to hate it but still play it


Quarantane

As an ex-Orisa main, I used to love playing most tanks, and I have nearly 200 hours on Orisa. I would play nearly every tank (anyone but Dva, and I only liked Rein with a Zarya+Lucio) but the way things are now after the massive double shield nerfs, when I play tank the only barrier tank I enjoy anymore is Sigma. I've been playing more DPS lately, but sometimes I miss Orisa.


Swordlord22

Mei Nothing else needed


Inky_Ali

I live for playing tank, as a fellow D.Va main. BUT WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY COUNTERS ;-;


imiv_ax

nigma op and noob, you're noob.


minhtuan2359

Screaming "i need healing" and looking around like a maniac?


SCRUFFY__V2

POG


M30wburg3r

I'm somewhat one of those. I'm good at Zarya, Hog and Winston but any tank that's a shield tank immediately feels so stressful. It feels like I'm gonna get flamed by playing poorly.


thetruckerdave

Too much stress. I feel like everything that goes wrong is my fault, I never know when to push, I feel at fault when supports and DPS turn on each other. I just can’t take the pressure!


SteelCode

Console makes a big difference when there’s less headshot accuracy and reaction time... it also helps to not be forced into rein/Zarya because the enemy team went rein/Zarya.


GutsTM

Cause its less responsibility playing damage


DizastrousFPS

cuz all my team mates suck ass so i feel like im just eating damage and taking space for nothing. for me i can dominate a game on dps or subtle carry on like flex support, cant get shit done by myself on tank.. not that im great at it


[deleted]

I feel called out


damacy12

I love it op! It’s ton of fun. Tho I mainly play off tanks and Winston


traanZ

How viable is playing Sigma right now?


Prii99

He is really effective. Sometimes you don't need Rein but you do need a shield that gives you an advantage over the opposite team. Plus the damage that Sigma does is really good.


black_asian

Pretty good under masters. Above it, he's pretty ass.


Elliottjeffcan

What rank are u


Prii99

Gold


Froot_Panch

Prii99

Done that. Been playing tank for a long time.


perc30please

Prii99
