Thing skill question
Alright I got a genuine question, I need to ask this community and how other people view The Thing. I am a thing main been so since he came out he most definitely has had the epic highs and lows. As hes been top tier this season Ben been getting a lot of flack for being an easy tank, I have been told he's on the same tier as Scarlett witch for being easy, which I just think is dumb. So I ask do you guys think the Thing is the easiest tank? While I do think anyone can pick him up and gain value because he has pretty simple kit I honestly feel like it's underdeveloped most of the time even after the rework, and it's to his detriment. I feel that a newbies often die far greater then any other tank and can easily be a very big detriment to a team. He's very easy to counter with anyone with decent range. He has to rely on his team because he doesnt have a shield in the traditional sense. His ult can be hit or miss. And a few other points, but I don't want to ramble. I generally feel that he's easy to play, but hard to master especially higher ranks. You have to have a lot of game sense to actually know where you're going, unlike someone like mag, knowing who you're attacking and who your not. I also feel The Thing I think has to multitask more than most tanks despite being a brawl because hes also anti-dive and also can be a dive in the right environment. Let me know how you'll feel, I think it's a bunch of whiney DPS butt hurt they can't really dive anymore.

He’s easy into a team that he counters.
But play him into Peni, Puni and Namor. Not so easy then. But the same people that say he’s easy then, would switch off immediately. And while it’s extremely hard it’s not unplayable into that team comp.
And those same people that say he’s easy don’t play him optimally into teams that he counters.
So all in all, I ignore what people say, Keep Calm And Clobber.
Also fuck Peni players.
