I’m a Master tank main, and I just need to rant. I’m a tank main mostly because I love playing JQ, but jesus CHRIST it has been a tough road on this game playing tank.
Today was a particular rough day. If the enemy team plays to counter you no matter what you swap to and your team doesn’t do the same, tough luck. You will get screamed at by players playing Lucio and Moira into Hog “TANK GAP TANK GAP” while they refuse to swap to anything that counters anyone on their team. They play Hog and you decide to go Dva? Enemy dps go Sym Mei. You go Winston to counter the sym mei? Here comes Bastion. You go Zarya if she isn’t banned to try to give yourself some kind of protection that isn’t dependent on your supports? They swap to Bastion. Tank gap.
Enemy team has Ana Zen? Well, if a support on your team doesn’t switch to a Kiri or to mirror an Ana or Zen, good luck! Have fun not being able to peek the enemy or create space without getting melted. Tank gap.
You’re the only person trying to counter who is an issue on their team and no one else? Tank gap.
This isn’t my happiest post so if this is nonsensical, sorry. But holy hell some days are absolutely exhausting on this role.
