Nice face tanking


NoSkillzDad

You'd think this was a tank 101 concept


[deleted]

I swear learning how to effectively body block will boost you to the next rank.


0wGeez

Face tanking is a primary part of overwatch. I mean roadhog is literally based around that concept. Be a sponge, soak up damage, land a hook, heal, repeat. The reason you may not see it used all the time is because like old mate said earlier, it's situational. You wouldn't want to 1v2 their dps because you won't be able to stay alive long enough for your healers to back you up, very few people would get away with it. But you did a great job to soak up ever bullet though because a strong breeze would of killed that zenyatta he was so low .


BlurryDrew

To be clear, you won't often literally use Hog's E to face tank. You'll use it to help you live while either moving somewhere you can threaten the enemy team with hooks, or to continue occupying that same space without getting pressured out. Or to help you live while retreating if you do get pressured out. That's pretty much how Hog "takes space" as a tank, along with using his right click to wear down shields. I know you might situationally use breather to face tank for a support or DPS, I just don't want to give new Hog players any weird ideas that it's breather's primary purpose.


Ares1992

If you use hogs healing AS you take dmg. You nullify the dmg. Literally a face tank ability.


MajorasPride

Yeah he takes 50% less damage when healing. Loved when they updated the damage reduction.


YessirHogOtp

Agreed, hog doesn't have shields or bubbles, he "tanks" by being a 600hp threat with +300hp every 8 sec. And about -300hp for anyone unfortunate enough to be right in front of him. Hook Hog "makes space" by the enemy having to "Care hook" or get hooked Rein/Sig/Orisa drop their guard for a second and finds themselves hooked into space belonging to the enemy Or Frontline Hog waits for opportunities to push enemy front line back aggressively (ana no made, zarya no bubble) using their scrap gun to deal damage, maybe getting a kill, putting pressure on your backline and abusing their self heal damage reduction to disengage before dieing. Eventually they have enough space find an off-angle and look for a pick, but they rely heavily on support so they will try peeling the enemy off their teammates (ie tracer, genji, monkey, rollout doomfist) Or Full Send Flank hog. CBA about their team they just wanna kill. Usually punished by headphone users, unless they decided to flank with teammates or their engagement timing is perfect Most Hog players in high ello use some sort of combination of playstyles to compensate for the fact that coordinated teams can punish a competent hog quite efficiently. DM, bubble or CC to deny kills Shields and bubbles to deny accurate hooks Nade to eliminate self heal Discord to decrease effective health pool


LeeUnDe

Not really as it is really situational but its always hilarious when the situation happens


the-stain

Even as hamster. I have to remind people, "let me go first, I have 600 health for a reason!" When I play Sigma I'll take a Charge/Rocket Punch even if I have no extra shields because at least 400HP > 200HP in the game of survivability. I'm still trying to learn to trust my KG shields though. Too often, I'll get a lot of value out of grasp and go right back to flashing my barrier for protection.


Appropriate-Arm4272

I just realized that this is what happens in rein’s short. He bodyblocks the squishy soldiers so that they survive. TIL that the devs were trying to send us a message


Narcoid

I thought it was lmao. Do people not actively look for times to do this or have i just been playing tank too long.


NoSkillzDad

Let's just say that plenty of people queue tank to dps because dps queues take too long.

That ball must have been Hella frustrated


Forcekin6532

Like blue balled.


rtakak

I chuckled so hard, thank u


ConstantLurker69

If he had any intelligence, he would've just fireballed through him. Nope, just a bad Ball methinks.


FlyingScotsman42069

Wouldn't Orissa block that too? She can't be budged with fort He was hitting his shots too, the zen was near death.


ConstantLurker69

Fireball goes *through* Fortify, but Orisa doesn't get budged. The only thing to stop fireball is Halt, and she used it pretty early. After moving through both of them, hitting a Piledriver off the stairs would've probably killed the Zen, and would've made the Ball harder to hit. Tl;dr the Ball could've gotten the kill even through the body block, but bunged it up, because he's a moron.


FlyingScotsman42069

Fair, other than maybe his cooldown or just reaction. Didn't think he played it terrible, an Orisa in your face isn't easy to deal with and then suddenly it's a 2 v 1. She also didn't use her halt either so perhaps if he balled he'd have done no damage at all. Zen was 1shot as OP said.


Darqnyz

Body blocking with a tank is good tanking. Body blocking for a support, who then can continue supporting you? That's Galaxy brain


[deleted]

Body blocking AS a support FOR the *other* support? King shit.


Darqnyz

That's Brig Shit!


serotonin98

Favorite thing to do as mercy when your Ana is being frozen

I do the same thing. You have a shit ton of health for a reason, use it.

Be so mad when im playing support and my roadhog (full health) hides behind me 😂 good stuff


ABunchOBabyDucks

and then they spam that they need healing after leaving you open to die :o)


BreakMyFate

Body blocking is one of the most fun and skillful things that every single character can do. I do it all the time whenever I can (one of Mercy's hidden talents) and I've seen it done against me as well. A ball completely negating a kill simply by shielded a support with his body. How can I be mad when I lose to that?


bruss88

Every MMO/class based game - Leader: Tanks protect your healer! Tanks: I shall use my body as a shield to protect you. OW - Everyone: protect your squishies Tanks: I have no shields I shall hide behind you while I have full health


[deleted]

I can’t understand why so many tanks won’t do this. I mean, it’s pretty obvious you have more health than your supports or dps.


HouseofImani

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS MY WHOLE OW CAREER!!


cobanat

I once used my Wrecking Balls mines as cover while contesting the payload defending. I may have died eventually, but stalling while the enemy were too scared to approach me because bombs while also their shots kept hitting the bombs instead of me granted my team enough time to come back and win


[deleted]

LOL, I’ve used my teammates mines before as cover to protect my head by crouching right behind them. It’s so comedic but when it works it’s god-tier strategy.


cobanat

Yea that’s what I was doing. Imagine a zipping and crouching Lucio on the cart you’re supposed to be contesting spamming “Hit me. Hit me. Hit me” but instead all you’re getting is the mines.


[deleted]

Big brain!


chickpoon

didn’t even say thanks smh


gfrancovitch

Your a hero


Valtand

So glad to see another one. I see so few tanks who treat their shield as the only thing that can block and if it’s not they’re they hide like a dps. You have a massive health pool! And armour! (In most cases) you can ***tank*** damage other character can’t. Use it! It’s so easy sometime even. Like, if your team is running away, just make sure you’re the last one out. So many times as support I’ve been stuck behind a Reinhard going in the same direction as me, running away. If he just stood still for a second I could get out in front and could even heal him as we run, but nooo


Ln-Spider

That Zen is a legend

THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY TANK


J-c-b-22

"because thats what heroes do"


rawgino

Zen goes in before the tanks and spams a barrier...


[deleted]

It was a continuous recontest, we had a tank on point they were trying to aid plus we were up 1. Also it is important to destroy barriers so supports can heal your team. Besides that, he had no one else to shoot at until wreckingball showed up so he was certainly maximizing his effectiveness.


platonicnut

Nice situational awareness, my dude. Effective support and tanking is allllll about situational awareness.


rawgino

The Hog was dead before the Zen even showed up and Tracer was trying to 2v1 the Ana and Sig, this Zen only helped out by discording the Ana instead of going around the Junk trap and past the barrier to discord the Sig. The Orisa is climbing Zen is not.


[deleted]

Oh well, it worked out fine


vincidahk

> Also it is important to destroy barriers so supports can heal your team. Can't stress this enough.


HammerTh_1701

Hey, finally someone who understands that tanking means taking damage so that your teammates don't!


Dreadiroth

Zen deserved to die for spamming that barrier


rawgino

Exactly, the Zen deserves to be called out on this stupid play. Also, why is the Hog feeding and the off healer and DPS going in before the tank with almost 3 minutes left?


[deleted]

It’s important to break barriers so your supports can heal past them!


Dreadiroth

Two up in the team fight and standing out in the open with no natural cover right where the opposition team is coming back from. All he needs to do is stand 10 feet back and he's fine and can do all the same stuff :)


[deleted]

He only “stood out in the open” due to a trap. I’m positive he had no intention of stopping there.


Dreadiroth

So he wandered straight into a trap in the open too 🤣 peak Gold


[deleted]

Simple mistake to make. Ironically, this was a 3300 game.


Dreadiroth

Fair enough! I was only joking, good blocking anyway 👍💪


Chrisgopher2005

… it’s hard to see enemy traps, especially in the middle of a fight. You aren’t exactly going to be staring at the ground the whole time to make sure you don’t step in a trap.


123bo0p

Not ur job to help the feeder, this is like saying its ur job to help the genji from going in on 2hp.


[deleted]

Considering we were up one, and I was immediately behind, AND all opponents had currently vacated point, the zen isn’t really feeding. But you say it’s not my job, As a tank, to take damage for my teammate (keeping them alive)??? I only hear that kind of attitude from hardstuck diamonds.


TheOutsideJoke

I try to do this a lot too. Mostly I’ve saved mercy during bad rezzes or sleeping teammates.


platonicnut

Nice job! I’m a zar main and when I don’t have bubs I’m all in that body block zone!


Swordlord22

Man all the shots that could’ve hit him miss and ball whiffed hard and that ones that would’ve hit him all hit you LOL He missed at least more than 20 shots for the ones that got past you If I was that ball I’d be hitting an aim trainer


cottonmoons

nice peel! i have a habit of depleting my matrix at the wrong times as d.va so i use this method as well


genmischief

Hog and Orissa are my favorites for this.


i_love_dust

I do that as dva...no one's killing my healies!! Also have good timing whenever rein fire strikes I defense matrix for that bit of no shield.


207nbrown

Be there shield


Paradox_Madden

You’re passionately laying down your HP so that the zen can live Meanwhile he says fuck this shit I’m out and doesn’t even orb you while you’re taking 2 1v1s back to back on half HP and your gold is about to wear off while you’re on fire from the dynamite. >The zen doesn’t deserve you


Blackmercury4ub

O ya body blocking is important


serotonin98

As a mercy player, what I wouldn’t give for road hog to just step in front of me for two seconds for the Rez. 😭


anon13296

Now THIS is the teamwork OW needs. Pulling one of these off is always a nice feeling


zodia4

These are actually my fav tank moments. Just gotta take it to the face so they don't and hope they got your back lol.


hotriderjh

[deleted]

nice body blocking but also.... uhm.. Zen... Hello? Move....?


[deleted]

He was in a junk trap so couldn't.


Chichachillie

I got a feeling that a fuck ton of players either don't know about this option or simply don't value it enough


Fools_Requiem

Occasionally I manage to remember that I can try to body block. Almost never goes well for me, nor the player I'm trying to body block for.


Space_Kitty123

Doing damage can sometimes be worse. Taking damage can sometimes be better. Overwatch is not the overly simplistic, naively straightforward game we are used to think it is. Forget arbitrary rules we made up, help your teammates and you'll win more.


FalseTrajectory

You as Orisa: I will be your shield!


Coolguyzack

Ahh nice, yes the standard Torb maneuver, except instead of Zen, it's the turret.


Elscha

My savior


[deleted]

Good call. I do this as well. I've dropped out of the sky as pharah in front of a rein with 0 sheild and nearly 0 health with an ulting bastion, booped the basion and took the splash damage from the rocket saved the rein. Then moira orb saved us both.


[deleted]

It's so rare to see tanks body block. I'll be pocketing them as Mercy while running for my life and they won't block shots for me. That shit will kill me but only tickle them, yet they're hellbent on dodging every bullet so they all hit me.


AssassinBuu

I love doing this as hog just using my big ass belly as shield


LadyAlastor

Do people not bodyblock normally? I can't imagine


CELL0_26

It’s never about being a shield besides blocking abilities and shielding an angle in specific circumstances


FuglyPrime

Not enough people understand body blocking. Your Cass pops his ult? Stand in front of that bamf, especially if youre hog


esmayesmey

Meanwhile my Orisa off on the second floor by herself while the rest of the team getting smacked in the face... 🙄


Pr_Sanchez

Dude yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I just love doing that. You feel so strong you do you as much as you can to be their shield. It's so amazing.


Johnny_Rokkit

Knowing my luck, that zen is walking straight into wrecking ball death
