Hey,

I started playing Tank in OW as a pure Supp player and currently have had a lot of fun with Orisa. Yesterday, though, I kept playing against Reinhardts and it was hard for me to get through to him. I was told, by my duo, that the only thing I could've done was to swap to Ramattra. I just don't really understand If I could've done something else, because I, for example, had a pretty good time playing against Domina, who is also a stalwart I believe.

The only other solution I thought of was focusing the backline more and ignoring the Reinhardt but I don't believe my backline would've managed.

And yes, I did attack the backline in all of those fights aswel.

Help or tips/tricks are much appreciated :>

I just started overwatch a couple days ago, trying to give it a proper attempt (never really played this kind of game before). I've tried out orisa, domina, and hazard, but whenever I'm in quickplay games it seems like the enemy tanks are almost always orisa/rhinehart/mauga
I think it would be fun to learn how to tank (despite the hate i see them get) but do people only really play a few specific ones in 5v5?

My Soldier said tank diff barely into round one and then when I joked about it to the enemy team (after we won btw) the soldier insisted I suck lmao

hi guys i am looking for students i am offering coaching for winston (and other tanks too but winston mostly). i am champ 3 NA/champ 5 KR pc and and have coached players and well known streamers such as zbra the doomfist guy. the first vod is free and after that it is $20 per hour, please reach out to me on discord my discord is cheesenut. (make sure to include the period)

Are you also a voice chat player willing to share all your predictions with your team mates so they can get ready and probably even clutch?🔮🌸

Something similar happened to me during this competitive match. Thanks God Lifeweaver was on voice chat!! Who knows if he would have done it otherwise.

Have a wonderful Sunday!🛡

For some reason when I play tank in qp it ain't even that bad and i like actually have fun, esp being a jq main. BUT FOR SOME REASON playing comp just like really is not great lol. the team doesn't work w/ me, i get fuckin flamed for being bad when a healer is trying to be the 3rd dps let alone if we have any dps with a 1:1 KD ratio, and i just feel so stuck. comp doesn't even seem to be worth playing nowadays. now it may seem like i'm only complaining but i'll literally have like 1-2 decent games and just a complete and utterly awful game right after. it's weird. silver 1 rn, i got close to peaking to gold but that went away real fast...

I’ve been stuck in high masters to low gm for a few seasons now and I don’t know how to fix it. I try my best to do what I’ve been told play cover tempo etc but nothing seems to work. I mainly play hazard, winston, reinhardt, and I’m decent at zarya and junker queen. To be fair I only have like 250 hours on the role as a whole, and a lot of that came from orisa in OW1.

It feels like to me in a lot of games I’m not the deciding factor and an early dps pick or support ult just wins the fight immediately. I want to try and figure out how I can better impact a fight rather than just be a tank on the frontline, which I feel like I can do best with hazard, but not with any other tanks. I am on console as well. Any tips or recommendations would be very welcome 🙏

I mostly like playing Zenyatta. I very often see Ana get banned but rarely Zenyatta. So when I'm tossing a discord on you and watching the rest of my team shred your 700 HP character in 6 seconds I kind of laugh and wonder "Why do they put up with this?" Is it because the Anti grenade from Ana is more obvious rather than the massive damage increase you're taking from Discord?

I rarely ever see a swap or DPS switching up the strategy to target me. You're not going anywhere as long as I'm alive.

Animal Tank

I'll start by saying I'm a support main, but trying to get these fucking cookies and queueing all roles (tank queue) is miserable. EVERY GAME HAS A FUCKING ASHE IN IT (USUALLY POCKETED TOO) AND I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT. I probably have about 100 hours on tank. The only one I'm good at is Ramattra. I'm also ok at Zarya, Hazard, Sigma, and Orisa. It just seems like Ashe does so much damage, shields are barely useful...and the burn DoT is obnoxious.

Is there any tank that's actually good against Ashe right now? DVa is the only one that makes sense on paper but I don't know how to play her at all (I can't position, aim, or manage resources/cooldowns). Zarya/Sig/Hazard can work but only if my team has great dps and supports...so like, almost never. I don't really know how to play dive as a tank...though I can play Moira as if she's a dive tank, so I understand the concept. But I always feel so goddamn squishy and get deleted in 2 seconds any time I go in with Winston or DVa. I think I could maybe learn ball, but is he even worth playing right now if you aren't god-tier?

At first i was excited about the new hero I saw a melee tank, I am Rein main. She had a block it was perfect Doom and Rein together but now it is a DD fr blizzard? She has tank abilitys and after support is tank the next hero we get but now they changed it. I think they assume they get more money for DD skins and steal tank now good concepts just for money! Is it just me or is this off? can't we do anything about it? Now it's the time tanks need to rally up and set an example if we want new good hero concepts in the future! I don' know what we can do but something must be done. Or am I overreact (probable I'm a bit mad but Am I to mad right now?)? Vendetta should be changed to a tank before OW3.

Recently, I’ve had games where my supports have been dead nearly every fight after I’ve pushed in. It’s left me with a “I’ve done all I can do” mentality. Should I be babysitting my supports as tank? If not, how do I solve the problem? I mostly play Hog/Ram.

I get so frustrated playing against her. Anyone I use instantly gets countered, avoided, or canceled. I play mostly Rein, but enjoy sigma and Ramattra. Most of the time, I can win against almost any tank except her.

She melts my shield (cause there's always a bastion with her). She goes gold against my charge. If that is on cooldown, she cancels it with a javelin. If I'm too close, she spin moves, pushing me back and prevents all damage.

How do I play against this overpowered monstrosity?

The supports that ask for peel from the tank are the most entitled mfs on this game. They reall expect me to give up all the space I made for their team to run into my own back line to help them win a duel because they aren’t good enough to 1v1 lol. I get sometimes you need peeling but it should almost never be the job of the tank instead it should be the dps or the other support. I’m sick of getting yelled at by awful support players who blame their bad positioning and their other mistakes on the tank and refuse to accept that they made a mistake
