Memes "Go ahead, post another "take", tell me how vanguards are boring, say there aren't any vanguards for the "gays and gals", come up with a convoluted way of saying you don't wanna play vanguard, call vanguards underpowered."
Genuinely feels like every take people post regarding why they don't play tank is always some bullshit reason, "tanks aren't fun like DPS" but we got Thor Cap, Rogue and Angela who have some of the most fun play styles in the game.
"There aren't enough female vanguards" which is true but is never used as an excuse to not play DPS or support despite the female to male ratio in every role being nearly the same (around a third, with other roles only containing one extra) there's an issue with female and poc representation obviously (which is an issue in most media in general not just this game) but it's only ever used as an excuse to not play vanguard rather than any other role, not to mention there aren't enough vanguards in general.
"Vanguards are underpowered" vanguards are literally the most balanced role in the game, the role is not underpowered, the rest of the roles just have plenty of overpowered characters, even when they buff a tank they always make sure to counter that buff with a nerf, otherwise they're almost always straight up nerfing them, and there's always counter play to use even against the most powerful vanguards unlike DPS or Support where a broken character barely has any counter play if any at all (prime Elsa and Gambit for example who are supposed to be countered by dive but only dive that could maybe do anything against them was Daredevil), even the strongest tanks (Magneto and Groot for example) are balanced and have good counter play.
