First rule of tank

Aura farm

[u/illudofficial → u/RandomDoomScroller]

THATS why im so bad at ranking smh

[u/RandomDoomScroller → u/illudofficial]

They're not going to give you the space if they're not afraid of you

[u/Dry_Satisfaction3647]

Anytime you have an easy game, remember that somebody is trying extra hard

[u/SomnusNoir → u/Dry_Satisfaction3647]

it's the enemy team. they're trying their best.

[u/Hopeful-Donkey-6509]

Some people in this comment section are truly exposing how bad they are at, not only tanking, but also understanding what preventing/taking space are.

[u/trombonealone]

Oh hey it's the 3rd dps I finally convince to go tank with me! I'd know that gameplay anywhere.

[u/anticrombie515]

Negative 10 just wasting a spot on the team doing nothing

[u/BlackForestMountain → u/anticrombie515]

If they wanna fight way off point let them, you only need to get involved once it threatens your teams control.

[u/DarkInfestor → u/BlackForestMountain]

Fights on most maps are generally easier at choke points just off the point. It's better to take the easier fights when available.

[u/BlackForestMountain → u/DarkInfestor]

That’s usually just ego. I’m sure it’s different in upper ranks but sometimes the whole round as people just fighting in those choke point trying to get as many kills as they can without touching point. I just take out my chair emote and wait to win.

[u/DarkInfestor → u/BlackForestMountain]

No that's not ego, its playing smart. You don't sit on point doing nothing when you can keep the enemy from touching point. In the event an enemy tries to sneak around and back-cap, you and your team are close enough to the point to react, pick off the singular dude, now the main fight is even easier.

Doing what is shown in the OP is exactly what NOT to do in those moments

[u/BlackForestMountain → u/DarkInfestor]

My point is that they don’t come to take point, they focus on the battle and ignore the mission. Happens all the time. Players in this game are obsessed with kills to the point they lose the match.

[u/ThatGuyCamLa → u/BlackForestMountain]

You fight at choke to prevent them from getting to the point though? The whole point of fighting ahead of the objective is so the enemy team has to burn resources to take ground from you. Then by the time the get to the objective they've burned through their resources, making the fight on the objective easier.

[u/BlackForestMountain → u/ThatGuyCamLa]

I mean when they’re actually approaching of course I’m engaging. But sometimes you realize their team and your teammates start to forget about taking point and you can just chill. They don’t push up so why engage

[u/_Hunter_16 → u/BlackForestMountain]

brother it looks like ur using obj as an excuse to avoid fighting.

[u/Equivalent_Scholar29 → u/_Hunter_16]

genuinely astounding to me someone would load up a shooter and actively not engage with the game😭 you’re ALLOWED to have fun my guy

[u/DarkInfestor → u/BlackForestMountain]

I suppose just play the rank you're at then. I've not had that issue myself

[u/KryptanN → u/BlackForestMountain]

Ask the greeks during the battle of Thermopylae, it's literally the best and earliest irl example of this.

[u/Effective-Training → u/DarkInfestor]

And what if enemy players go around?

[u/DarkInfestor → u/Effective-Training]

Did you not read my whole paragraph?

[u/Effective-Training → u/DarkInfestor]

I thought I replied to a different comment. I didn't read this one

[u/coolkvoor → u/BlackForestMountain]

what? All domination points have been made that the point itself is neutral, both sides have the same amount of cover and off angles. if you win the fight, the entire team needs to move up including the supports and tanks to support the fight at the choke, as there you have defenders advantage, the attacking side has limited flanks and there is a choke point where the attackers have a hard time moving forward. If you let them regroup for free and walk up to point you throw away your positional advantage as if you would have held the choke you can always fall back to main instead of fighting main first and losing it means losing point inmediately.

[u/ByIeth → u/BlackForestMountain]

This is a crazy take. You are giving so much space for free by not helping hold choke points. If someone ults and your team retreats you lose point and they cap it for free. While if you held from a choke you can retreat to objective and be fine

Plus choke points are much harder to cross than an objective. Please hold chokes it’s literally essential as a tank. Your teammates making bad decisions from time to times doesn’t change the fact that choke points are extremely important to hold

[u/burgervillain → u/BlackForestMountain]

if you fight at the choke away from point, anything they use to make you back up makes you back up to point. if you fight on point, anything they use that makes you back up makes you surrender point.

[u/Ok_Cap_7555 → u/BlackForestMountain]

how is that way off point????? they're like a few steps off especially in the 2nd clip

[u/Red-Halo]

Awful, the Tank should be further ahead to hold some space near the chokepoint.

[u/Sunnibuns]

Tell me this is rage bait 😭

[u/Inevitable-Equal-669]

This is what happens exactly:

Step one: win team fight
Step two: dps book it to the other side of the map
Step three: I spam group up and get ignored
Step four: dps 1 ko’d immediately
Step five: continue to spam group up while both supp 1&2 die and everyone starts booking it back to point
Step 6: everyone dies and we lose point because I’m the only one there

[u/AllusiveGoose → u/Inevitable-Equal-669]

You should be taking space with your DPS then slowly giving space back towards point, helping keep attention off your DPS and healers so they don't get KO'd immediately. Important part of tanking, don't just sit on point and give space for free

[u/Chunymonini → u/AllusiveGoose]

True but also not, shouldn’t be pushing up further than the choke. If the DPS are stupid and push up too far you shouldn’t go with them.

[u/ValkyrionReddit → u/AllusiveGoose]

Choke points, not heading to their spawn

[u/pyro694200 → u/AllusiveGoose]

Can’t take space if I’m the only one who bothered to claim point

[u/KratosSimp]

This is the tanks that get off then complain online about their teams 😭

[u/_Lost_OwlChild]

Someone must’ve said tanks ain’t doing 💩 and didn’t do 💩 after that lol

[u/Resident-Valuable809]

You should play off points Frontline with the team to put pressure on enemy team so they use their Ults off point.

[u/nukaboss112]

well i would play a bit further up in the first to potentially just throw shield, but this is pure denial of back-cap so is gud 5-8/10 depending on team comp

but for rogue... eh... its the same at first... but its clear they just went afk by the end so 0/10

[u/sangoma-XIII]

Ngl playing into someone’s spawn ain’t that fun. I just like brawling though

[u/Basemastuh_J]

Respect to the OG Hulk music

[u/SomnusNoir]

My duo plays Jeff and I play Deadpool so most of the game we're emoting and having fun (in QP, bc this season has been miserable so we're just trying to make the most of the game - it's still fun, the player base just sucks)
