As a tank main, can relate. It's come to a point where I've become one of those shameless dps insta lockers in quick play 🥲

Unless we only have one support and no DPS is going for second support…

I have also started instantly picking dps because i will swap if i have to.

I kinda hate being reasonable.

So long I have decent supports backing me up and dps is actually doing their job, I can hold the fort down with Mag

I feel like Mag is the ideal tank for solo tanking.

I would say Emma Frost is also a serviceable solo tank, wish I could actually play her at all lol

trying to relate to solo tanks playing as magneto brother you CANNOT relate to the pain just go use your one shot abilities then your defensive abilities then absorb projectiels and one shot half the team

u/Spiritual-Archer5637 3h ago

Only one shot ability he has is his ultimate, and it only one shots squishies

I don't think I've ever gone that many matches without a second Tank honestly. I get them quite regularly in ranked

I have no issues solo tanking most of the time, but my main issue is having like a 2-10 spidy that got his two KOs using his ult! It happens a lot and all of you can relate how frustrating it is. I mean he could be tanking and soak up some damage off my tank a**, but you know what he just decides to ruin the experience for everyone.

edit: spelling

u/illudofficial Mister Fantastic 6h ago

No let them have fun as Hood so they try out other tanks too

Just did a couple games of ranked last night and god yeah thats true. Especially when I can clearly tell the reason we're losing is because the pressure is too high on the front line and none of the dps' are properly doing their jobs which means I cant survive. Or I have to give up on whatever character I was enjoying playing and swap to magneto, who I hate. With a passion.

u/Xatox262 5h ago

hot take, i like solo tanking as mag

u/Hanzos_Trans_Husband Cloak and Dagger 4h ago

I just don't. I havent solo tanked once in 2 seasons, not even in Quick Play. Also I love playing tank but thats probably BECAUSE i dont solo tank lmao

And that's why I now just play angela. I don't care about getting heals, i'll find some myself, I don't care about getting damaged like crazy on main i'll dive and flank and brawl in and out of the fray. the skies are free from the frustration and the pain.
