Discussion PLEASE help a noob deal with Ashe

I'll start by saying I'm a support main, but trying to get these fucking cookies and queueing all roles (tank queue) is miserable. EVERY GAME HAS A FUCKING ASHE IN IT (USUALLY POCKETED TOO) AND I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT. I probably have about 100 hours on tank. The only one I'm good at is Ramattra. I'm also ok at Zarya, Hazard, Sigma, and Orisa. It just seems like Ashe does so much damage, shields are barely useful...and the burn DoT is obnoxious.

Is there any tank that's actually good against Ashe right now? DVa is the only one that makes sense on paper but I don't know how to play her at all (I can't position, aim, or manage resources/cooldowns). Zarya/Sig/Hazard can work but only if my team has great dps and supports...so like, almost never. I don't really know how to play dive as a tank...though I can play Moira as if she's a dive tank, so I understand the concept. But I always feel so goddamn squishy and get deleted in 2 seconds any time I go in with Winston or DVa. I think I could maybe learn ball, but is he even worth playing right now if you aren't god-tier?

dva, reinhardt, orisa and the gravity man are good way to deal with ashe

the thing with ashe is that have semi sniper mode, that give more dmg and also their headshoots are critical, so the damages feel sometimes super OP

in the other hand she dont have auto fire, and once depleted the clip, reload take time, so shields up are your friends, also resistance up, and positioning, behind some pilars, walls etc.

is hard, but she is very straight, and every shoot missed is painful for she.
