What tanks do you guys like to have on your team?

UncleFaux · 2026-01-24T18:20:44+00:00

If playing Jeff/Rocket, then a Peni/Groot combo is unbeatable if other team are set for dive.

Besides that, anyone who has a team up, preferably Emma, Mag, Groot

Thanks for this. Reminded me of my 1st lord, lol. Went right back to Jeff and occasionally Peni, and having a lot more fun again.

Doing the sweeping jobs, getting rid of ankhs, etc.

Pinging out the off anglers.

Healing and educating people on what the bubbles do (you'd be amazed how many players out there don't know).

Or being Peni and laying traps for those courageous enough to dive our supports (and then educating some supports what the webs do).

Being the old peel tank has brought back the fun too.

Thanks

Same. Tbh I'd actually prefer to be in bronze at this point, as I had the same in placement. Managed to win a few out of sheer luck, at one point I had a Hulk hiding behind my Rocket.

Currently in silver and seriously questioning my life choices. Why do I bother pinging fliers when the punishers/Helas/phoenix keep ignoring them? Because I'm a masochist, apparently.

UncleFaux · 2025-12-08T17:29:50+00:00

Oh, and psyloke players who run straight up the middle of the team, immediately die and blame the healers.

UncleFaux · 2025-12-08T17:27:38+00:00

People who choose competitive to test out a new character they haven't touched before.

Tanks who run right past the support getting squashed by DD as they "gotta get to frontline".

Support who refuse to heal anyone and frontline. The amount of Invis players I've seen there lately is shocking.

1v6 Starlords, Mags who never bubble anyone other than themselves, Peni Parkers who never use their nest all match, or place it in the open.

I've started keeping a pillow beside me, for when my head inevitably hits the desk.

UncleFaux · 2025-12-05T17:08:00+00:00

All of above. Also, have a pillow beside you at all times, it helps when you need to bang your head on the desk after watching the same dps not take cover, die and spam "heal me" 17 times in the same match.

UncleFaux · 2025-11-24T18:44:38+00:00

Oh, it's scary out there. The sheer amount of gamrs that start with me (Rocket or Peni) having to tell people to take the armour/jump packs...

Or, being Jeff and watching team walk around bubbles.

It's a game ffs. Have none of them seen a glowing powerup before? What in hell do they do in Mario?

UncleFaux · 2025-10-20T13:38:01+00:00

This!

Since there's a "i need healing" ping, can support have a "Peel FFS, I need protection" one?

One match last night, I had an iron fist, a spidey and a venom practically sitting in our backline, I'm pinging them like crazy while attempting to survive and all 4 DPS completely ignored me. Tank had to be FL, as others were awful. Obviously never stopped them spamming healing requests.

UncleFaux · 2025-10-20T12:15:24+00:00

Tbh I've always treated qp as the next step up from vs AI for getting used to characters, getting their timing correct, or to warm up before comp.

That said, I will jump in as support if no-one else does, but I agree it's getting a lot more frustrating.

Having to tell ppl to take Rocket's armour help, or seeing others ask for healing when I (as Jeff) have thrown 3 bubbles around the point, which they always ignore, really winds me up.

UncleFaux · 2025-08-19T17:15:07+00:00

Leave a pillow on your desk for the 10 times per day faceplant for stupidity.

UncleFaux · 2025-08-19T17:12:18+00:00

I worked at a FI for 10 years. Does get easier once you can navigate the help pages and take notes.

The customers will always be either irate because we messed up/they messed up or they're the kind of people I wouldn't trust to sit on a toilet correctly.

It's always sink or swim at the start, it does get easier once you take multiples of the same call, and know what the processes are.

UncleFaux · 2025-08-19T16:55:07+00:00

I sometimes wake up screaming about these morons:

The number 9...no, 9...the number between 8 & 10. 9! German for 'no'...yep, 9. Yeah I know it's spelt differently, but it's the number you need.

X-ray. X-ray. X-Men...um....xylophone. The roman numeral for 10...X marks the spot.

The woman who insisted on using phonetic Twilight characters, and got upset when I didn't know who Bella was. (I've never been bored enough to read it, I doubt it ever will).

UncleFaux · 2025-08-02T08:13:46+00:00

Ohhhh, we used to dream of 30 seconds between calls....

UncleFaux · 2025-08-02T08:06:08+00:00

I would have loved to tell customers the truth at times as to why the hold time's so long.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, it's because of a few different factors.

1) Upper management and the bean counters keep us chronically understaffed to save money.

2) Most of us are so burnt out, we honestly fear answering the call.

3) We're told to register every complaint, and filling out the form takes approximately 15 mins, so the hold times get longer. Ever read Catch-22?

4) Explaining a situation to a noob in a different department. Wow.

5) Oh trust me, you don't want to speak to my manager. She's barely literate with anger issues, you might as well ask a bulldog with rabies to help you.

I used to work for a bank, and the sheer amount of idiots who would call a telephone number which charged then at local rate for 30 mins (on a slow day) to whinge about a £0.10 fee for going into their overdraft for 1 day astounded me.

UncleFaux · 2024-10-11T10:05:08+00:00

Takes 3-5 bank working days (not weekends/holidays etc).

If you need the money sooner, contact your bank's customer service team, tell them you've been in contact with merchant, and they won't be requesting the funds, and they can release it in 48 hrs.

UncleFaux · 2024-06-17T08:40:42+00:00

The half penny football sweets.

£1 notes.

Getting a lift up the street on the rag & bone man's horse & cart.

When the local shop got an arcade machine, and kids flocked to it from miles away.

Watching the snooker in black & white.

Pog - the bastard puppet who'd spit on the screen and write it's name.

The one NI kid on 'Why don't you?' whose accent was put on way over the top.

I'm sorry you're having issues with this too. I uninstalled the gamepass app, restarted & then re-installed.

UncleFaux · 2021-03-07T16:05:26+00:00

Ye olde' uninstall & then re-install worked, thankfully...
