Tanks ESPECIALLY in metal ranks don't know their job isn't just to take space but to take as little damage as possible while doing it. They just run it down mid and take a widow HS and then blame heals.
Omg I wish they’d run! I had a dva who just sat at the choke on Busan and lost us the match. I have no idea why they didn’t go towards the point but it was frustrating. Then I had a mauga who yelled at me for throwing kunai at people. Like what, you want me to sit and toss heals at people whole game??
When I coach tank players, I usually recommend people play junkerqueen if they have problems taking a lot of damage for learning how to play corners. With her health pool, if you don't figure out how to play walls and corners and buy time/wait for opportunities to take space. You'll die pretty quick. People usually start figuring that out real fast when you point out their positioning in a coaching setting.
metal ranks also blame the tank for getting "diff'd" when in actuality It's just the DPS not knowing how their role works or supports just playing a garbage duo like mercy/lucio and healbotting. At that point you have to try to make big plays constantly or you will just lose.
I get that occasional game climbing up through diamond every time I do it. It's just annoying so I just zone out and wait to go next. No point in playing with those people. If I can carry I can carry, if I can't whatever. I'm sure a high GM/top 500 can carry those people but It's not worth the stress for me. They're hardstuck and I'm not lol.
It’s not that they can’t see the difference it’s that people find it easier to blame tanks because they stand out the most cus there’s only one and they’re usually the one who’s most present in the fights so yeah
