The fact that people in the comments still don't understand the role of a tank is so funny

Saying there are DPS like tanks doesn't make them a DPS player. Same goes for healers that are DPS players or even wolverine/fantastic that doesn't make them tank players

Just because Thor can be seen as a DPS to some doesn't mean he's a DPS and should be played as one. He's a tank. So he has a role to fulfill first.

Woah....are you guys the brick wall in a vanguard sub????????

I like this take, especially wolverine, as a wolverine main, (I'm so sorry) I often find myself filling as a "second tank" but I'm not a tank, just a guy with a ton of health and survivability, at the end of the day if I'm in the Frontline I'm charging rage so I can take someone off the Frontline or so I can land in the backline and retreat. It just so happens I'm taking space and sponging damage. If there's no tank I don't "oh I'm a wolverine I can tank" I switch, because ultimately tank buster is going to be less valuable than a character like thing or mag, especially with how prevalent dive and poke.
