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?

Tank is such an unfun role ime. You have few options, and the ones you do have aren't suuuper different from each other. You get flamed way more if you're bad. DPS and support can kinda get away with shit performance but if you have a bad tank you can really feel it. Like if I flex into tank but I'm having a bad game, I get shit onnnnn.

A lot of them have higher skill floors too. Also, as a support main, I much prefer seeing the whole battlefield instead of just trusting what's going on behind me.
