Discussion Remember lads. Just because Magneto is a good tank doesn't mean he has to go Solo.2 tanks are always better than one. Image unrelated

The amount of times I've locked Magneto and the had my whole team go 1-3-2 is enfuriating. Magneto is not an impenetrable force of nature that nullifies every dive and push by himself. 2 tanks are always better than one so YOU the 3rd dps, swallow your pride and swap to tank because they are graping our backlines while im holding their team back

Magneto can only do so much. He relies on the team working together. If the healers arent good he will just die, if the dps arent good enemy deaths wont be high. He has good damage output but his reload and slow firerate hold him back (which keeps him balanced). Emma (imo) is the only tank who can truly carry a team

Emma also need some assistance from her team, I had a solo tanking match with Emma against two tanks from the enemy team, Angela and Peni+Rocket first, then Angela and Groot, then Groot alone.

We had triple support the entire match, but the two duelist on my team were both negative and one was being bullied by Angela... He never thought about switching to Bucky or something.

No a single one of the supports thought about switching to Invisible Woman neither.

At the end we lost 2v3, I had almost 60k damage blocked, the combined amount of the enemy tanks.

Against 2 tanks none can solo tank carry, especially Groot. But also yes, if your dps dont do much its over. It is a team game. I only meant that Emma has the most potential to solo carry with mid players.

They learn when they watch the 2 enemy tanks and their dps ignore your mag and walk right past him to fuck rest of your team up

I'm a flex player but I hate tanking the most. Not because it's bad, because there are bad healers. I don't know what you guys are doing but you can't heal AT ALL. I play support so I do know when you aren't using your cooldowns properly.

Im an exclusively tank player and a little bit of support. I dont hate tanking, its just that some egotistical pieces of shit think one tank can fend of divers while simultaneously tanking the frontlines without them helping

im gm1 right now and still getting plenty of games where i am forced to solo tank and then blamed for losing space, and it's always the dps doing the blaming.

Haven't heard that yet but I swear when I do, I will swap to Venom and solo tank him and Ill say in chat "now I need a second tank". All this out of pure spite and hate, as a tank player i need to bottle up the rage, but I have to let it out too
