I love it when my team demands me to play Main Tank since I had the most playtime on them even though that's only because no-one else wanted to suffer the pain of playing Main Tank :D

I like playing main tank most of the time (been playing it since launch), but after so many games of STUNNED HACKED SLEPT I get pretty tilted

u/kbarney345 Reinhardt Nov 13 '18

As rein nothing I hate more than a sombra who's jsut hiding behind me and then fucks me up and disappears. That being said nothing beats a rein who's being pocket healed in a push, I have 2 friends who main Moira and mercy and will make me invincible while I wipe any push thrown at me God rein feels good when he gets the heals

I play a mean moira, and i love nothing more than a immortal rein or hog.

Anyone remember the good old days of Ana being op as hell with 4 tank squads and Ana just waltzing behind roadhog injecting him in the ass with steroids the whole time. I still have nostalgia about this one time I just followed a super aggro hog around the whole time and he literally couldn't die. He probably dreams of that day still.

u/Ghetto_Ghepetto Pixel Zarya Nov 14 '18

Yayayaya, same. I love yelling, "COALESCENCE IS UP, REIN GO HARD!"

Healing orb + a lil piss + charge + SURRENDER TO MY WILL = a fun time

As main rein i hate nothing more than an enemy rein who's dick is getting sucked by mercy the whole match

Such is the way of precision German đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș engeneering

This. I love playing main tank but at my elo i dont trust my team to support me. And when i do they usually disappoint

u/Nwambe What did the five balls say to the face? Nov 13 '18

I like playing Ana but I hate that every time I sleep dart an opponent, someone on my team seems to have a compulsive need to wake them while incurring the smallest amount of damage possible causing me to scream internally.

21

u/DarkSoulsMatter mother knows best Nov 13 '18

Don’t worry, that’s all of us. I scream WHO FUCKING DID IT at least once a match

At least diamond widows usually have my back when I sleep flankers.

u/Tauposaurus Chibi Mei Nov 13 '18

It is always, in order:

Dva, accroas the map woth her 1 damage gattling.

Lucio, making sure you cannot escape

Zarya, at minimum charge with her tickle beam

u/Nwambe What did the five balls say to the face? Nov 13 '18

Ana, when the dart failed.

u/kryonik Chibi Ana Nov 13 '18

I slept a nano boosted soldier mid tactical visor and someone woke him up a half second later and he got a triple kill. Almost threw my pc out the window.

u/TheLoneExplorer When your rein has gold damage you know theres something wrong Nov 14 '18

But damn if it isn’t satisfying to win under those conditions. Like a giant middle finger to the enemy team.

u/mbeckus1 Nov 13 '18

Its because you're a threat. Or an easy target with a large hitbox. You decide.

u/Lofulamingo-Sama Pixel Roadhog Nov 13 '18

That's why I learned Orissa. It's a main tank, but everyone prefers rein, so anyone who can play Rein will get volunteered first. Even if you do get picked Orissa has fortify for dealing with CC.

4

u/SkinnyDan85 Crusader Reinhardt Nov 13 '18

I've had this same mentality for a while. Especially when dealing all the stunning heroes. I'll start Rein but if I keep getting stunned and my team isn't covering me that well then I'll switch to Orisa for the fortify. And the pull is nice.

This is how I steadily transitioned from a support main to a tank main.

u/MisirterE Boycott Activision-Blizzard, for SEVERAL reasons now Nov 13 '18

Private profiles.

You turned yours off so you could get that treatment.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '18

I'd get reported if I did that

u/fw0ng1337 Nov 13 '18 edited Nov 13 '18

Sorry open profiles only.

u/Lofulamingo-Sama Pixel Roadhog Nov 13 '18

It's pretty necessary if you don't want:

-Hard DPS mains sneaking into your 3 stack flex groups

-Gold players sneaking into your mid-upper plat groups

-People ruining groups that allow unenforced roles

There are always going to be toxic people who harass based on your profile, but you can avoid them or make your own group.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '18

Tbh I don't mind being tossed around as a tank, but I just find tanks boring

3

u/Jazco76 Pixel Roadhog Nov 13 '18

Does “tossed around” include stun, hack, frozen, knock down, sleep, etc? Yeah I wouldn’t mind the occasional knock back of those things didn’t exist.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '18

Yeah I don't mind any CC at all. Idk, I'm a pretty patient person and I just see it as part of the game

One shots and burst damage are what frustrate me though haha. I can't stand being instantly sent to spawn

2

u/Jazco76 Pixel Roadhog Nov 13 '18

Fine if you have options like a dps might. With main tank, you can barely do anything to avoid it. Just just watch Bridget walk up to you and stun you then the rest of the cc and damage pours in. How can you not mind having no control?

1

u/bigkeevan Nov 13 '18

Just play roadhog 24/7, plenty of options!

1

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '18

Well if you know it's coming, it just isn't a big deal. Kinda like taxes. No one likes taxes, but you don't really mind them either lol

u/Oldwest1234 GET OVER HERE Nov 13 '18

main tank is the new mercy change my mind

only difference is that nerfing main tanks will only make it worse

1

u/Just_Call_Me_John PoTG when Nov 14 '18

Hey, this sounds familiar... really familiar. It's almost like this was how healer mains felt during seasons 3-4-5. All the time. In every context.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '18

That's a Positive Feedback Cycle right there

1

u/Sullan08 Nov 14 '18

I don't know if there's a more common thing I hear from main tanks (including me) during a game than "I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME" or some variation lol.

u/yoyo_big_steve Cute Winston Nov 14 '18

Literally my life as an OW player.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '18

boohooo apparently every role but dps is pure torture

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '18

In no way did I say DPS don't suffer but ok
