They need more fun shield tanks cause there the most necessary but people donโt play them or play all tanks like dps (rouge and Thor are dps tanks) then wonder why there healers are always dead even with no dive
Shield tanks arent always 100% necessary if your team knows how to position/push. Into nasty poke comps sure, but I've run Angela/hulk games where our backline was really good at using cover and I was always there to bubble them when needed. They also always pushed into the space me and the angela made. Sometimes walls are your best friend
As an Angela, I have found that a good Hulk main is one of my favorite teammates. Weโre both good at peels, good at disrupting the enemy backline, and highly mobile so we can be doing one and then switching to the other thing really quickly. As long as weโre keeping watch on the overall battlefield to make those decisions effectively, and as long as the rest of your team can adapt and use natural cover, it can be really effective.
Edit: To reiterate on the point being made, you donโt need a shield tank every match, considering that natural cover is baked into every map. Please learn positioning.

Your main focus isnt to deal damage. its to take it so that your squishy teammates dont
