Tank is arguably the most impactful role in the game and basically if you play one you have the most agency in where and how your team should play and should form a strategy around you and your pick and your position, you dictate the win condition for your team.
why it feels miserable to play tank is for 2 reasons.
either you have no understanding how to play that tank correctly to it’s strengths or your team isn’t playing as a team and even if you do, that doesn’t guarantee success, but atleast it’ll be a lot more enjoyable.
so the lack of teamwork is most of the time why tanking feels miserable because it makes games a lot harder.
but as a tank with so much agency, you can impose teamwork upon your team wether they understand what’s going on or not, and that is something you can’t really do on any other role and that’s why you should play tank because you can actually make miserable games where everything seems hopeless into a game where anything is possible.
and being able to clutch out games like no other role can and do some crazy maneuvers and being able to create plays off of your teammates no matter what they pick is why tanks atleast to me have become the best role.
you are not only the biggest health target, you have amazing abilities and the ability to enable not only yourself but your team aswell.
as i see it, tanks are what makes overwatch the game that it is.
Now i’d like to hear your reasons for why you find tanks boring and why they aren’t worth your time and maybe just maybe i can make some of these conceptions of yours disappear.
