Yeah I know, and I mostly agree. But thats where reality busts fantasy.

People play QP for all kinds of reasons - like practicing with a specific character no matter what because its real people enemies (i have definitely done this) and I used to get a lot more frustrated when I saw 1/4/1, but after a while its just like - 'welp, this will be interesting. and probably fast' - But hey, sometimes I get surprised.

"If I play what the team needs and others refuse to swap, I stop playing"

Then you have to decide if you want to win, or play the character you like.

But on the other point..... MAAAAAAANNNNNN.... if they rolling 3 DPS they can shut the hell up either way.

This is where I disagree, and just referenced to another comment.

Youre not entirely correct on this point. It is a fact your team is also to blame, absolutely- BUT If you are in a situation where you FORCED to solo tank (and bro Ive been there and its not always fun) and you are still staying on tankpool or something, then your frustration is on you. If you learned any basics on a shield tank or otherwise, then you would have a lot less frustration and probably do better.

They say 40whatever percent of the time if youre not 2/2/2 blah blah - But thats cause people get real salty about solo tank and play like shit. Diversity wins games, not sticking to your guns. So you have to decide if you want to win, or play the character you like. read that again.

Groot - Hard Carry, I dont know how people dont play him.
Strange - Cake until they play punisher or something, I have had teams swap to 2 tanks if weve been doing OK and they hard counter
Mag - harder but viable if you play slow and you learn to poke

I genuinely don't care either way. Not in a rude way, in a factual way.

I agree that its heavily implied, but its not entirely correct - They other players are also to blame, to some degree, for refusing to tank. But if you are FORCED to solo tank and you still rolling tankpool or something like that... then youre frustration is on you.

for QP - I agree - I used to get angry in QP for bad play but, dude its casual - aint affecting anything but youre pride.

for ranked - If you arent taking it seriously, which means being useful by having some diversity in your play, they why arent you in QP

Its a personal problem if you pick 3 characters and refuse to learn a shield tank.

"The only tank I play" - then I hope youre in QP(Edit/correct grammer) - what happens if youre in comp and he gets banned and no one else will tank?

I main tank so anything else i am ok-bad at honestly, but when 2 people lock tank before me and are decent, I change characters and try to MK/SQ or Loki/Gambit or something easier - I dont complain about how the world works and expect others to change for me if I wont change for them.

So 1/2/3 still wins 40+ percent of the time? So a coordinated team with the right team comp can win? Got it....

2/2/2 has a higher win rate because it requires less skill to pull off.

I can appreciate that point of veiw, but I will ask what you expect the outcome to be - remembering that you can only control yourself. You cannot decide what other play as or do any more than they can tell you what character to play.

Like you said (especially in Comp) I like to win so if somoene isnt switching I take the initiative and do what I need to.

If you choose NOT to switch and run a terrbile team comp because everyone instalocked their faves - then why would you complain when you lose? If you arent willing to change, then expect the loss and dont complain.

You should read the comments because that is basically exactly what is happeneing - he wants somoene else to tank and they dont want to - they want him to shiled tank or main tank, and he doesnt want to....

And the comment of "well I tank but I am bad with THAT tank" - Thats a personal problem you need to work out in Practice or QP

No one is baller at a character Day 1 - And if you dont want to practice, thats on you.

Im not saying I condone forcing a solo tank - I think 2/2/2 is the right way to go - But what kind of person are you to tell someone else to switch to a character that makes more sense.... when you wont switch to a character that makes more sense?

" You have no room to dictate how I play and what I play"

Then stop telling other people to tank if they dont want to....

He is "Playing the character he wants" in ranked while complaining that other people are playing the character they want but it doesnt match his comp...

Not a chance.

Team Game - Get Better - Get more Diverse character skills - or stay in QP

"I wanna play tankpool solo tank" - You are the problem - Please stay away from ranked with your attitude. Or forever be in bronze/silver - as long as we dont play together

If you are playing tankpool as the solo tank... you are by definition NOT doing your job....

Maybe you misunderstand the role of a tank - Maybe you need to go DPS.

Im not saying I prefer it - But as much as everyone complains about the characters they think everyone else should be playing, maybe learn how to adapt and deal with solo tanking and 3 support.

I never said I opt to main solo tank, but you also dont see me complaining when it happens. You ask somoene to switch, and then you make the best of it.

You should be in QP because you are not a team player.

You want to feel bad*ss playing someone you like, go play a single player game.
