I just watched that whole Korean “Mauga mentality” video and honestly it perfectly explains why tank players are mentally collapsing in 5v5.

The idea is basically: “If you think every game is tank diff, fine. We both go Mauga, stand main, shoot each other in the face all game and remove the tank variable completely.”

And the funny part is… they’re not even wrong.

Tank is such a ridiculous role now because you are expected to:

make space never die peel everyone engage perfectly counter swap constantly survive without resources carry fights read your supports’ minds somehow still have top damage and kills

Meanwhile if literally ANYTHING goes wrong: “tank diff”

Doesn’t matter if your DPS never take angles. Doesn’t matter if your Ana misses every nade. Doesn’t matter if your supports are healbotting the wrong targets. Doesn’t matter if nobody swaps.

The tank gets blamed first because there’s only one of you.

And honestly the Mauga gentleman’s agreement is hilarious because it exposes how much people scapegoat the role.

“You think it’s tank diff? Cool. We’re both playing the same hero now. Let’s see what the rest of the lobby does.”

The line: “My queue time is shorter than your cooldowns” might genuinely be one of the hardest things tank players have ever said.

Respect to tank players honestly. Actual psychological warfare role.

I am Bronze 1 right now, and it feels like if the enemy tank picks Zarya, they win. 75%+ of the time Zarya kills me, her energy is at 90+. I try not to blame teammates for my losses, but when my team won't stop shooting her bubble she becomes server admin and my team insists I've been diffed.

Is there anything I can do for this?

Cassidy main usually sitting masters here. I've recently gotten back into playing some comp after being a qp warrior for a few months, I'm running into a surprising amount of Anrans and I think my 1v1 winrate versus them is a lot lower than it should be.

My problem is simple, Anran goes invisible on me and does her attack while flying all around me and I simply die. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to stand still, roll away, I'm moving around my camera in panic trying to find the dang thing 😂 Obviously when I hit the stun I can kill her sometimes but even then she just goes invisible and is flying all throughout me and I still lose often!

I've genuinely lost a few games where I felt I was the issue, not being able to deal with the constant Anran dive so I'm trying to figure out how I can play this better. Any advice or maybe very obvious weaknesses that I'm missing?
