What to do? Toxicity / hostile attitude against Tanks in Solo RBG?

in SL when all the rating was giga high and rbg boosting was at its highest and ppl were like 3.5k. ok lmao

lmao what a dumb take “yea i handicap my whole team but its okay because i get it the way i want to and the rest of the team just have to deal with it so i can be happy”

what childish and complete opposite of a team player mentality

A groups which were requiring you to have 2.2-2.4 to join their groups. And if somehow you join their team, one lose whole group disbands. Therefore, stop capping, please

Childish one here is you, who thinks a tank is a one who causes a team be handicapped.

For your information, when you queue as a tank, opposite side has a tank too, therefore, as a DPS player, you are equal to the enemy team, and you are not handicapped, aka not 8vs7 or smth. Keep blaming the tanks/healers for your poor performance.

yea lets ignore comps, viable fc spots etc being potentially taken up by a dude playing tank as is most likely completely useless in the bg

2.2-2.4 to join the groups but u were only 2k so now you are just contradiction yourself. but okay keep lying and thinking ur boosted exp from like 3-4 years ago is important

I hit 2k rating during the off-season when Solo Shuffle Blitz was first introduced. If you actually checked my account, you would have seen it. Before that, my highest rating was 1.6k in the RBGS, which I reached back in Legion.

Seriously? Who gets boosted to 1.6k? If you’re paying for boosts to hit that rating, you might want to seek help.

As I said before, instead of blaming everyone else, take responsibility for your own performance first, and keep hiding behind your classic character.

Im higher rated than you rn??

I could not careless if you are higher or not, my statement stands.

I’d advice tanks to have an offspec so they can change if the BG is bad for tanks but other than that, PvP is pretty toxic right now, I’ve been playing Dota and later Dota 2 since I was a kid and honestly, WoW PvP is more toxic which is insane considering Dota and LoL are infamous for being toxic. Anyone flaming and being toxic remember that you are the reason why PvP is dying, que times are off the charts. No one wants to play with you and bad player will never learn the game. Objective truth that we see in games like Dota and LoL as well.

queue times are about 2-3 mins currently

Noone wants to pull deadweight in pvp either, the objective truth would be that the toxicity has merit; tanks are useless in blitz

Had two of these in a game cause I didn’t stay at a base, which I got back. We won the game, but it was even sweeter when I met them again on the enemy team at higher MMR and won that game too, ha.

I’ve got no issue with tanks as long as they do the tanky objectives, sitting base, spinning when the team is struggling etc, and of course carrying flags provided their isn’t another class in team that could do the job more efficiently.

If people want to dictate what you play, they can form an actual RBG group.

No and No, dunno what que ur in, maybe ur lucky but I’ve never had a below 5 min que, usually they are at least 15 min, even at peak time. And toxicity does not help it’s been objectively proven time and time again. Ur right, no one wants dead weight, better the community and the game dies coz no one wants to play. I play tons of Dota, same there, I hate having super bad players on my team but flaming them literally only brings them down further.

It is worth noting though that we are talking about different things, Im talking about bad players, u about tank spec in a non-tank environment. Still think feedback is better though rather than flaming.

Certain times in the evening when there are less players queueing but enough to keep games flowing, see quite alot of the same players during these times. Im not saying I agree with the way people are venting their frustrations im saying the frustration makes sense considering the feedback of the already confusing system for MM, you can work considerably and be knocked back from 2200 down to 1600 and be stuck with players holding your team back, it is frustrating, the op is a prot warr so we are discussing tanks in this instance

You are not alone, the amount of time my account got banned for communication is countless, been harassed, toxic comments, bullied on my tank on each BG I Played and if i reply back and get enraged in my comments due to the harassment and whispers i receive, in the end i get reported and Blizzard send me those warning and bans to watch out my communication, appealing and asking to review what triggered ll of this will just be ignored by Blizzard. Each expansion after 1-2 months i will end my subscription and hoping next expansion blizzard will review one of their biggest mistake in PVP they made on nerfing Tanks. yet still no changes and this expansion I’m ending my subscription as well.
Tanks get blamed for any loss, is heavy and stressful character to play, ppl have no idea tanks in pvp since DF become useless, you cannot do any damage which is obsious for a tank but cant even stay alive as a tank, my resto druid is tankier than my Guardian and stay alive for longer than my guardian.
A tank who cant survive and cant make any kills is useless and no point to allow it in pvp to be assigned flags and heavy guarding tasks when one similarly geared player can bring the tank down on its own, when one mage can wash you away in few seconds, when all stuns and impairing effects applies on you, while previously we had some CDs to encounter this.
Then your Teammate blames you for all this, the issue is Blizzard doesnt care since a small community play tanks and their voice is ignored by Blizzard.
Also i can guarantee you that their Dev Lead hate tanks, play DPS and dont expect to see any tank improvement in PVP until the X person leave Blizzard. is more a personal feeling issue than just a balancing decision

I just found out that tanks are sharing slots with healers instead of DPS.
So when a tank joins you lose a healer slot instead of a DPS slow which can a huge disadvantage…

Why tho …

Honestly my little man, its the internet. Deal with just overhearing and ignoring people, no reason to take it serious otherwise gotta stop playing COMPETITIVE content

Who you calling little??? I’m taller than a gnome /cry

Lol I’ve barely played rbg. My rbg experience is limited to some random games in cata. Tanks offer nothing over healers at this point. Also dnt start talking about rating when u never got any. I dnt claim to be a pro but ur best arena rating is 2k and that’s why u wear and prob proud of tht ugly elite set u got frm 1800. I suppose tank is easier for newbies like u thts the only positive. U dnt have to learn balance resto or especially feral.

pretty sure this is wrong and you always have 2 healers

Lmao. Please seek help. Your enviousness is too obvious. Play a tank, and get 1.8 then we can talk. For now, keep mumbling. :dracthyr_hehe_animated: :dracthyr_hehe_animated: :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

I’d rather watch paint dry thn play tank it’s mind numbingly boring. Imagine how big ur ego would be if u actually got a gd rating. It’s enormous alrdy.

Keep mumbling. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:
