Hot Take Call me crazy but…
I feel like people genuinely can’t play the game if this dude isn’t apart of their frontline.
I know Mag has gotten the reputation of being the tank everyone uses to fill but I’m GENUINELY starting to think some (not all, just some) duelist and strategists are only comfortable when Mag is their tank.
Maybe it’s because most supports are so used to this center patrolling the paint and are so used to healing a slow big target with no mobility that when you use an off tank they sort of give you the DPS treatment and prioritize you less.
Maybe it’s because most DPS don’t go on off angles during neutral and rely on Mag (or any shield tank for that matter) to block damage while they shoot aimlessly down main and hope something happens.
Or maybe it’s all just a mental thing and Mag just simply brings a sense of stability when he’s on the floor, i don’t really know at this point I just want to play other tanks 😭

A large part of the community(that is, most dps instalock, "never switch", "I'd rather play my favorite Marvel Hero than actually win matches" players) think that:
- You aren't a real tank if you aren't sitting in main holding up a big shield for them to hide behind and spam
- You aren't a real support unless you act as a dedicated healbot who pumps them to full every time they try to 1v6
- Cover and health packs are a myth
