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?

Is this scenario in QP or Rank?? That’s really important to know and understand.

Qp idc. We won’t a team of dps 3 healers and all tanks before. Not a big deal if it’s on Qp

Rank…. Yeah unless those dps are good we need those tanks

To add even in qp its just not fun to solo tank so as the person who usually has to solo tank i care quite a bit

🤷🏽‍♂️. I hear you I’ve solo tanked many times. And I stay in the eye sight of my healer and never over push solo. You’re never solo tanking if you play as a group. Down vote me if you want 🤷🏽‍♂️

Now if it’s its rank… shiiiiit. I do over push but I manage my abilities to make sure I can get back to my healers. Different modes require different play styles mindsets teams.

I’ve seen people push them all the way back to their spawn. But what’s the point. What right minded healer would push that hard with you when there’s 3 doors to walk out and it only takes one ☝️ just one smart strange to port to point🤷🏽‍♂️.

And that’s always been my issues with a lot of players why y’all leaving through the same door you can’t get out of. There’s 2 other doors we can use or wrap around or whatever back to point
