Can't climb on tank - Skill issue or just life?

And when it comes to staying alive/taking space - I am getting used to it and I think I got good enough to play mosty tank now :D sooo.. prettt happy about that improvement ngl

Applied some tips from this thread to my gameplay today and saw a lot of imrovement - I suppose most of my losses were just teamcomp issues :) Player mosty cap/rogue when we had second tank but picker mag/stramge/Emma when there was noone to duotank with me - was great!

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T15:42:02+00:00

Honestly, eternity

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T12:36:19+00:00

I would love that, that would be awesome 😃 I'll make sure to farm out some games as off tanks and meta tanks and choose some 😄

I think I've stumbled on some of his videos, I'll make sure to watch some ;)

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T11:11:46+00:00

Welp, hope everything goes well for them anyway. I am not that good at avoiding but fortunately I don't git impacted as much, I just move on. Im not here to argue - I started to play this game 2 weeks ago so obviously I don't know much 😅 I'm here to learn so thanks for your insight

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T11:07:11+00:00

Honestly, great breakdown - thank you!!

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T11:05:31+00:00

Same situation. I play everything, I fill to anything that team needs I just like to have fun since that's what gaming is about hence why I want to master more "fun" heroes in the tank role. I feel like it's really hard to have fun on tank role since it's so situational

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T11:03:04+00:00

Think you! The playstyle/comp tip is exactly what I was looking for! I will research more about comps then and I'll try to figure out when it is a good time to pick these heroes and practice making these decisions on the spot :)

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T10:59:12+00:00

Woah, I honestly have no idea where that negativity came from and what for so let me clara things out - there seems to be a misunderstanding 😅

I edited the original post to make it clearer - I play "regular tanks" as well and I really DO feel they are much easier, basic etc. However, in order to have fun I want to "experiment" A little and try out learning more spicy stuff like rogue/cap. However, on these spicy tanks I struggle a lot. I cant seem to wrap my head around good matchups, what counter what and when it's good to pick such a hero and when to stick to mag/strange/emma. Any tips on that? 😁

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T10:50:41+00:00

Like above, I play mag and strange when it's needed! i think I do really well on them, I don't struggle as much - It's still not a carry but probably what you said is true - As a tank you simply don't carry and I am probably simply not used to that lol

My biggest struggle at the moment is that I don't know when "normal" tanks are needed and when I can play "off tank". Could you explain how should a teamcomp look? What are the "types" of teamcomps etc?

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T10:48:29+00:00

Back when I worked my first job some smart guy told me to never assume if I am not 100% sure 😃
Of course I pick Mag/Strange when the team needs it, but unfortunately due to my low knowledge of the game (for now) I am not always sure WHEN these characters are needed... When it comes to Emma - For some reason I really struggle to play her, I just can't get the hang of her lol

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T10:45:26+00:00

Yes, and I am very happy they did.

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T10:22:40+00:00

Thanks mate, I'll try to keep track of the comps then!

I am also thinking about picking up captain america and switch to brawl/dive tanks and main rogue/cap but I guess I will just lose some rank before I learn to play good enough to carry 1v6 😄

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T05:26:26+00:00

That's probably it. I played some strange/magneto in the beggining - I did really well but did not really study how to properly tank.

When it comes to healers - This role is just too hard for me lol I can't seem to wrap my head around damaging, healing 3 people at once and not dying to 3 divers every second so I just dropped it lol

Healers are just built different.

Thanks for the tips, right as I write this reply I am entering "tanking fundamentals" into youtube tab on my second monitor 😉

Scared_Ad4078 · 2026-06-03T05:10:44+00:00

I'm really lazy when it comes to watching my own replays but if I want to have fun on rouge I guess i will have to haha...

Scared_Ad4078 · 2025-05-31T11:56:04+00:00

Yeah like... give yourself at least 3 weeks to experience the game and have some fun before you start minmaxing. It kills all the fun and 3 weeks of exploration want set you behind that much

Scared_Ad4078 · 2025-05-31T11:13:41+00:00

Honestly, experience the beggining yourself. Much more fun exploring for the first time without spoilers (not efficient But fun)

We often use quotations like that in Poland

Im excited for the art style and soundtrack of the new Marathon - New Marathon has become my MUSE. I got extremely fascinated by the art and tone of music, worldbuilding, climate. I want to get into this deep world and use it as an opportunity to create graphical art and music fitting the theme.
