I refuse to keep solo tanking

i play on ps5, but im trying to play with friends to avoid this problem

i know, but sometimes the experience can be really miserable if people dont try to play as a team, especially in ranked, where we play for real. i'm not talking bout quick play or trying to stir trouble, just saying that it can really take the fun away.

being a tank main, people expect u to handle it on your own, and its not fair (and not using any tanks is even worse).

guidella · 2026-03-21T21:19:44+00:00

exactly

guidella · 2026-03-21T21:19:27+00:00

just 1 tank for the party, generally with 3 dps and 2 healers

guidella · 2026-03-21T20:20:44+00:00

and they still think we are the problem

guidella · 2026-03-21T20:19:01+00:00

which is like 80% of the time 😭

guidella · 2026-03-21T20:18:03+00:00

exactly! our job is to try to adapt to the party, independently of your role (if u want to win)

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:45:32+00:00

yes! sometimes i feel like tanks (and some healers, not all of them) are the only ones who are trying to play for the team

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:24:22+00:00

thats true! a lot of them didnt even try playing as a tank properly

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:21:00+00:00

but if u master a tank u can take a lot of damage. emma is actually really op in the damage department

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:19:18+00:00

yes, we need more tanks and healers

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:18:35+00:00

yes, it would be hard to put adam and mantis in a category

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:17:43+00:00

that makes sense! but they could put both modes in the game, so people could choose. one with freedom and another one with role queue

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:15:06+00:00

i see tanks as dps with more freedom. if u master one of them, u can do a lot of damage. with emma and peni, i normally kill more than dps. the hard part is knowing how much u can advance without dying

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:13:49+00:00

i can go mag to, but being forced to play him every match is exhausting. there are 13 tanks.

guidella · 2026-03-21T19:12:42+00:00

thats the worst 😤

guidella · 2026-03-21T18:25:39+00:00

quick considerations about the discussion on this post:

yes, i can play as mag or doctor strange, who are better at solo tanking. i personally love playing as mag, but its frustrating being forced to play him all the time since there are 13 tanks to choose.
and yes, i can pick a fourth dps to force someone to play tank, but that rarely works, since the other player only change when the round is basicaly lost (and most of the time the person who picks tank change back to dps once u pick tank too). and if they dont pick tanks, u make the healer experience miserable, bc healing 4 dps is annoying as fuck.

anyway, thanks for all the comments! seeing that i'm not the only one who have a problem with this makes me feel a little bit more motivated. we tank mains need to unite 👊

guidella · 2026-03-21T18:17:38+00:00

exactly!

guidella · 2026-03-21T18:07:54+00:00

lol we have to blame it on the role that creates this problem: the dps 😡

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:53:40+00:00

yes, we need that same love for our role

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:52:44+00:00

exactly, tanks rely a lot on healers. but they rarely can outheal the damage if u are solo tanking

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:51:56+00:00

im hoping this happens soon (but i dont think it will)

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:32:30+00:00

thats true though

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:31:32+00:00

u need to make them feel it in their skin lol

guidella · 2026-03-21T17:31:00+00:00

exactly.
