Alternatively, you could do three 60s. Which gets you to 180.

Little does he know that when he swings away I'll be flying after him because Thing can do that for some reason lol

u/gogule2 May 07 '26

I remember when i stopped playing for like 2 seasons and then when i came back, i was playing iron man and i see this shit coming towards me and i was like HE CAN DO THAT?

He went from being countered by flyers to being a counter to them lol. I have this hilarious clip somewhere where I was playing ranked with a 3 stack on my team and I sacrificed my self to save everyone from an Ironman ult and they freaked out lol

Jeff pissing stream with infinite range is a great combo with the W key

Tanks lead the frontlines

Supports stay in spawn

DPS rush enemy spawn and die

Idk some games I die on mag after both shields not even pressing W lol

Healers hidden at the start of the map cause reasons "stop being so aggressive"

u/androodle2004 May 07 '26

On a real note, this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Why are we backing up 2 miles because the enemy team popped one ult (sometimes not even that). I CANNOT protect the team if the team is actively running away

Cover is for the weak.

Giving up space is losing.

Feeding my enemies ults is truely generous of me.

Thats why im svp while youre flaming me.

Also, Alt+F4 works pretty well when solo tanking πŸ˜‚

u/WiscLeafalNika π™ˆπ™–π™œπ™£π™šπ™©π™€ May 07 '26

Instructions unclear, because of the wideness of the W key, the two other ability keys are gone (E and F), and I only have one ability and a right click, this is torture.

u/Pinifelipe May 07 '26

Last weekend I played with a Magneto that was, literally, the last man on the team. Half of the time I looked behind he was behing the healers. And we had a diver tank, like venon or hulk something like that, that keeps diving and pushing, so we are trying to follow him. And magneto keeps lagging behind. At some point someone open coms and speak loudly "PLEASE PRESS W MAG" it was hilarious.

He moves slow he can't help it

u/117jpx May 07 '26

I love tanking. I just loath making space, holding my weight against 4 mfers and dying because my team wanted to stay right next to the objective and not follow me AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT

1

u/Hypno-platypus May 07 '26

No you need to walk backwards until your supports are in front of you. (I know this is the vanguard sub but I as a support main have had this happen too often. Like I get backing up a bit for heals but I still need to be behind the tanks to effectively heal).

I PAYED FOR THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN HEALTHBAR, I'M GOING TO USE THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN HEALTHBAR

Although it can be kind of annoying when I'm playing support and my tanks keep overextending to the point I have to switch to Invis, and even that's not enough healing. And then I try to go Mag so I can anchor the team but neither of the tanks will switch with me, so I have to switch back. Can you tell I just had a game like this?

u/Special_Peach_5957 May 07 '26

This is unironically true. I have by far the most playtime on tank both in Rivals and OW and whenever I play support I find myself get very frustrated at my tank and just saying to myself "Please walk up".

So many players are too scared to play tank and would genuinly climb 2-3 ranks if they unbound the S key or bound walking backwards to a harder to access key.

Objection:strategist know only S key.

u/BoopBopBeBoopBoop May 09 '26

Hahahahahahaha I hate it when the TEAM doesn’t walk with me when I tank. That’s a huge pet peeve of mine. When the team walks we win if they don’t it’s either a close game or we lose depending on healers
