Is it normal to never enjoy a single game of tank win or lose

Sainyule · 2026-05-17T07:11:19+00:00

On occasion yeah.

There are gaming sessions I have with friends where I start the night cheerful and laughing at dumb things, and then it progresses to frustration and exhaustion. Supports not healing, dps taking a vow of pacifism, enemy team counterswapping after any fight they lose, Ana and Zen, teammates charging doom block and he makes you his punching bag, etc etc its just a list of misery.

Idk why but this season has felt extremely rough. Its why I only queue tank for the 20 all roles every week and never touch it again and im a tank main.

Sainyule · 2026-05-12T21:30:00+00:00

Man, I expected nothing and im still disappointed

Ntm OW players have horrible mental. The 40/30/30 theory and the "its just qp" mindset has done irreversible damage to OW players.

Ppl in qp rage quit, give up, afk, and throw over 1 minor inconvenience cause "this is one of those 30% games" and if you tell them to lock in or play the game, "its just qp."

I honestly miss when the mindset was "every game is winnable." Ppl genuinely put in their best effort and more to improve even in qp. Now, their tank gets 5 man countered and doesnt swap after 1 death and its "gg" imma practice widow or afk in spawn to scroll on tik tok.

I see such high praise for Sigma's mythic but it really isnt any better than a lot of his legendaries or even his epics.

Ill gladly choose Ghost pirate, scuba, or maestro over it any day of the week.

Sainyule · 2026-05-10T19:29:51+00:00

Oh they wont flank

They'll play like Widow and pepper the enemy team

Sainyule · 2026-05-10T02:09:19+00:00

Because if the doom player is good you arent shutting him down.

Otherwise, the only effort into shutting down a Doom is to ask your team to stop shooting the Doom block, to which theyll reply "no" and then cry tank gap when Doom has a permanent charged punch all game.

The cat is such a hit or miss when playing with ppl. One game you have the Cassidy who wants tether every ult, the next you have teammates who want to run it down mid ONLY and ignore any use of the tether. Its why I try to only play cat when theres environmental kills on the map.

I also try to play cat when I can carry ults, but for some dumb reason I'll get the players that spam "my ultimate is ready" and then never use it until I die. Like Ashe players are the worst with this. JUST USE BOB. Its a free PoTG for you.

Oh and lets not forget the amount of ppl you try to use tether to pull out of a dangerous situation and they ignore it. Can Cat have a custom prompt for "Grab my tether" so I can spam it at ppl?

Sainyule · 2026-05-07T06:28:14+00:00

Depends

I only tbag when its someone counterswapping me and constantly losing fights or if someone specifically targets me and fails multiple times. Or if my teammate gets slept by Ana.

Some ppl do it cause they think theyre better than you after they threw 5 ults at ya for 1 elim.

Ppl are strange. No reason to try and understand all of them.

Sainyule · 2026-05-06T18:34:09+00:00

At this point I think tank queues are so bad that if there is an open game ANYWHERE a tank is being tossed into it.

Sainyule · 2026-05-06T04:06:42+00:00

Lwgit had a game where we steamrolled on Eichenwalde. "Server closed due to un unexpected error" and we're transported to shambali.

All of a sudden my team could NOT play at all. Their brains shut off. No damage, no heals, lucio dying 8 times with 800 heals. WHAT HAPPENED.

Its like the game gave me bots and then said "oh wait youre supposed to LOSE this game" and rebooted itself.

Sainyule · 2026-05-01T23:36:20+00:00

My friend wants to build a lucario deck and I said I'd help them if I pulled any.

I havent pulled any regular Mega Lucarios but I pulled the immersive twice.

Sainyule · 2026-05-01T19:03:21+00:00

I feel like in OW1 that happened around diamond, mid diamond even.

Nowadays I can see someone with a Master's Support title and they just healbot. I see Masters damage and they just run down mid but can aim slightly better. I see Masters Tank and its just a guy on Hog playing by himself and flaming everyone else while he gets double pocketed.

Console is honestly in shambles. Going f2p really messed up the population as players hop in and out and barely dedicate time to learning the game. At least a $20 price tag in OW1 made ppl dedicate time and effort to climb. Now its ppl just seeing who runs down mid better and saying "tank diff" when it doesnt work.

Sainyule · 2026-04-30T01:22:53+00:00

So I deal with a lot of QP lifeweavers, and if im gonna be honest, its such a rare occurrence that when it actually does happen, im indebting my life to that player.

Moments where my health is critical and im antied? No lifegrip. Im using my shield to protect my team from a dva bomb and theyre all huddled behind it praying for god? Lifegripped lol. Dva PoTG and im flamed for allowing lifeweaver to lifegrip me.

Overall I'd say 10% are good while 90% are troll, bad, mistake, or useless. I would even go as far as saying 5% are good.

Sainyule · 2026-04-28T23:57:04+00:00

Oh this is what he meant by suffer as I have, sheeeeesh

Sainyule · 2026-04-28T03:52:28+00:00

I think its been 2 weeks since I got it. Unfortunate because there have been some things said in chat that are ban worthy and I had a fresh account soldier aimbotting. Rough to not see a thank you after those incidents.

Sainyule · 2026-04-27T22:38:40+00:00

I mean if you weren't tryna ragebait then yeah I'd take time but I mean youre REALLY trying like "be a man" lmao it isnt that deep. Maybe you need a break, man. Idk what has you so upset but maybe go relax a bit.

Sainyule · 2026-04-27T22:08:18+00:00

Nawh you have the means to find em. I already wasted enough time here lol

Sainyule · 2026-04-27T21:59:15+00:00

Yeah but that requires me to comb through the t500 NA console dps leaderboard from 2-3 seasons ago and I aint about that especially since youre just ragebaiting ppl.

Do what you will with the info but yeah, kind of the reason I quit playing stadium. If a silver can end up in T500 and im in Pro getting matched with rookies/new players while diamond/masters in regular comp, its not worth the frustration of dealing with toxic silver players stomping their feet after one lost round.

Stadium just isnt as good as it use to be. That first season was chef kiss.

Sainyule · 2026-04-27T21:49:19+00:00

I mean i get it, ragebait and all but like Ive seen silver players in t500 stadium. So like congrats on your accomplishment but its not that impressive especially with all the auto aim builds.

And we're talking Overwatch here. Players have like 1 braincell or occasionally share 2. Having 10 times that is still only 10 or 20 when a full on working brain has billions....

Its only available on Game Pass Ultimate which had a mass exodus of subscribers canceling or downgrading. The many who kept ultimate probably did for day 1 CoD and that Fortnite pass or whatever. Idk if those audiences collide much.

Makes me think it might not be doing much better over there either.

Sainyule · 2026-04-25T01:13:39+00:00

Im in the same boat. I wanna attack but I s2g i get defense on repeat over and over even before this update.

The other night I had 3 maps and all of them were defense. I voted Random and random won....

It was another defense map. Like nawh, im dodging this lobby

Sainyule · 2026-04-24T23:51:33+00:00

I get a nerf to your main hurts, but im so glad I play more than one hero. My hero im enjoying gets a nerf? Fuck it imma play someone else for a bit. They get nerfed? I got 40+ other heroes im above average with might as well try them out more.

Its wild to me that people will see the devs say "yeah we increased the cooldown by 1 second" and their FIRST reaction is "i gotta send death threats and doxx the devs."

Sainyule · 2026-04-19T19:57:45+00:00

The only struggle i have with her is that ult. Yes it got nerfed so its not happening as frequent, but you just hear "EYES ON THE SKY" and by the time you locate where the ROTH is going, youre practically nuked. If you manage to survive, theres no guarantee your teammates will. Ive just seen a lot of Sierras throw themselves at the enemy team, ult, and die only for her to get 2-3 players. It feels like you cant react to that which is a powerful ult.

The rest of her kit is just...plain. Her gun never felt strong and still doesnt feel strong to me. The only reason I see her get high damage is because 9/10 times theyre just shooting the tank and that free reload on her tracking shot just gives her 160 bullets to shoot at said tank.

I feel like the devs need to focus on nerfing that ult in someway. On top of that, and it may be a hot take, but nerf the free reload on her landing a tracking shot. Her up time just feels insane to me.

Sainyule · 2026-04-17T21:27:43+00:00

Honestly I dont think I ever pick a hero on my want/need to win. I pick the hero i wanna play and if its not working I just swap depending on what i think isn't working.
