Hello I’m frosty, I’ve been playing this game since s3 I’m a pre s9 gm player and finished s11 in m2 so maybe I’m just not good enough to get but… playing the tank roll is still just not fun and i feel like with the start of s12 its only been getting worst. I’m tiered of playing Dva vs Dva, its just straight up lame. dm is just unfun to play against, and with the ranked reset the skill disparity of the lobby’s are just stupid. as a thank player when the enemy team has a good ash with his e kitten mercy on Numbany first for example and they are getting peal from a kiri and dva as a thank player there is straight up so little to do about the situation. I’m not saying that there is no counterplay to this kind of bs but it feels to me all the things you can do on thank these days against a good enough team is have to trust in your team to follow up on your plays or make them themselves.
So i guess what I’m trying to say is its straight up nearly impossible to carry some games on thank becuase they just don’t have that clutch factor. i cant go flank on hog and get a crazy hook kill, sigma rock doesn’t 1 shot, and with character’s like dva, winston, ram and mauga feel just so boring except for the occasional dva 1 shots all of these characters seem like you just stand there.
tldr; give thanks their clutch factor back like tracer, widow, ana and bap all got. and do something about this “just pray for the team to get a pick” before you can engage and make space on some maps.
I want to state again that i am merely a ranked rat and all of these issues are probably solved with good coordination and teamplay but you just cant expect that from a team of 5 who are already flaming you for picking lifeweaver before the game even start.
(6v6 believers will know that a second thank may fix some of these issues)
