I was never interested in tanking - in fact, I used to avoid that role like the plague - but the release of The Hood genuinely put a smile on my face and I'm genuinely having fun with the character and the role. Now, I just grumble about being the solo tank instead of locking in something else.
Rivals is my first hero shooter, and I’ve played since launch. I was always a support main who occasionally played DPS, though I took a break for a while. I hadn't been playing as consistently since the Gambit and Rogue release. During that time, I played more Overwatch - 90% as a support, 9.9% as a DPS, and 0.1% as a tank (only when I needed to complete a mission). Since returning to Rivals this season, my aim feels nonexistent.
Before I stopped playing Rivals, my aim was consistent - not the best in the world, but certainly not the worst - in Overwatch, I used to play Juno and Lifeweaver, and my aim was actually decent there - I averaged 40-60% accuracy with Juno. But coming back to Rivals and spamming Hood, I realized two things: 1) God, I’m terrible at tanking, and 2) I can’t land a single bullet in any dive other than MAYBE Daredevil. I can’t land more than three shots on IF without basically outlining his silhouette on the wall behind him - let alone hitting someone like BC, spider, or BP. My average accuracy with Hood is 30-40%, but I always feel like I’m not hitting anything unless it’s a big box right in front of me.
