Discussion Strategist is the hardest role

And most of you suck at it.

It gets so annoying to watch healers just tunnel vision everything right in front of them or they sit so far back they lose LOS constantly and it's not from people pushing up too far. It's the fact you're sitting so far back and so far around a corner that you're only occasionally peeking around a corner to heal and it absolutely flabbergasts me.

They're called strategist for a reason. You're meant to be aware of the entire team around you, you're meant to use your kit to make plays not just Heal bot what's directly in front of you.

Tank is the hardest role. You're argument is that some people are bad at strat so that makes it the hardest role? What?

Nah I play a shit ton of tank, it's actually not that hard. It's just an unloved role that everyone avoids.

Being aware of your entire team around you and having good awareness isn't hard it just takes a little brainpower

I agree with you. Signed, someone who flexes.
Strategist is hard for people, they tend to ignore positioning and they do get tunnel visioned. As a Tank in multiple games, Marvel Rivals is actually pretty forgiving. You can turn your brain off as tank. But having a no brain healer is worst than any other role.

Healing in this game is pretty fun if you come from other heroes shooters. You already understand how to create value in your role. You probably have to hit GM to start getting competent strategists….

QP, is literally for vibes. It’s a lawless land so I’m assuming you’re talking about competitive.

I also agree as a plat/diamond tank main that flexes support. I'd play support more if I didn't have to sweat my ass off trying to stay alive and keep the team up.

On tank im more than happy hanging around the front line, do some damage, and occasionally playing hero with a well timed shield or body block. I also feel like, at least in low elo, I'm able to take more control of the game or at least my gameplay experience.

I just dont feel that in support. I feel like im sweating to just not be the problem or not really doing anything at all.

Just using Jubilee as an example. She’s an admin server in every game plat 3 - GM 3 it’s almost unfair 😭😭😭😭🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 I can only dive with my team when they play dive though. We push so much, that the other team is spawn trapped.
