Im confused on what tanks job is, when i played overwatch tanks primary job was to make space and get damage in (and dependant on tank protect ur team(shield mainly)) im now being told i should being going straight for kills, but at that point why not play dps for context im playin rein sigma orisa winton and i dabble with ball (im awful at ball) so im guess im asking do i just play tank like a dps now?

There has been a number of games I recently played where there is at least one dps or the tank plays a dive character and attacks my teammates, usually I would step away from the position I'm holding to help fight off the dive, but it tends to cost my lost space in the process. So, with those two characters as my main is turning around to help good or bad play?

She plagues diamond elo and I presume higher and she just feels so oppressive. She just becomes server admin while being pocketed. As a tank I can't stop my team from getting beamed, as a dps I can't kill her due to her mobility and her often being pocketed, and as support I can't outheal one shot headshot. What on earth do I do to stop this menace? Any help would be appreciated.

So I feel like a lot of coaches will say that everyone can reach gm with the right coach, but obviously they are biased in saying this because they want you to buy their coaching. They share success stories, but we'd probably never hear about failures. I just rant about my experience below, so feel free to just not read since its not important for the discussion rrly and give your opinion.

For me, I've been stuck in masters 4/5 for a while, I peaked masters 1 at one point. When I started in season 1, I began in plat and I made a lot of progress every season, making it to diamond season 2, masters season 3, and then slowly I reached new peaks. But since then, its been a long time and ive made 0 progress with my rank, despite playing every season, even if I did play less and if anything i've gotten worse, since at best I sometimes scrape masters 3, but never higher.

I've never had coaching, but I have had vod reviews and I've tried copying pro players but honestly? I think I just can't be that good. I know what I'm doing wrong, and i KNOW everytime I make a mistake. I could review my own games and point out what I should have done with context of sitting at the skybox on replay viewer, where I went wrong ect. For example, with kiriko some major areas I need to improve are planning tps, and planning kitsune better. But honestly when I'm playing the game I just don't think...

It will cross my mind, okay our ana is playing there, I'm gonna off angle and I can tp to her, but then in practice, fight might start and i'll just forget, then when I do eventually need to tp, ana has either moved, or ill just panic and go to the first target.

TLDR: I honestly just turn my brain off when I play, I tunnel vision and I don't really know how to not do that. Been so long of me trying to lock in, and think harder about what I do, but I don't know if I can. This isn't supposed to be a rant. I still enjoy the game, I still enjoy grinding ranked but am I just not trying hard enough? Or is it possible some people just aren't cut out to be at the top?
