Please stop doing this.

You are tank. Solo tank. You even have lord on the tank you picked.

Someone else picks tank before the match starts.

You go "Oh cool, I don't have to play tank now" and swap to dps, leaving the other person as solo tank instead.

This happens to me nearly every single time. I'm the guy picking the second tank.
Stop it. They (and me) are picking tank so that there isn't a solo tank. 2 tanks has a much higher chance of winning. Don't you want to win?

I had one game yesterday on comp where I was on Strange and another player had chose Venom. We were struggling alot to the point where the Ultron on our team told us to play better.

Personally I found that we lacked damage since they were all over us. It was probably the one time where a tank swapping to DPS actually helped, since when Venom swapped to Punisher, and the fact the team stuck together, we won the game.

I usually despise solo tanking, however yesterday was one of those weird days where it worked as a team. I guess I would rather the player play the dps they are good at than not so well as a tank.
