SO, for context, i have been playing overwatch for 7 years and I was mainly a support player. recently, about 3-4 months ago I swapped to tank to play for my college esports team. I am diamond on dps and support and I climbed to diamond 5 on tank.

I am going to start playing dps and support ONLY after the college season because of a lot of reasons and I want some feedback just to know if I am crazy or not...

1. I get counter picked every freaking game

I'm playing winton, boom, reaper, hog, mauga, ana, etc. I play zar, boom, bastion, winston, rein, etc.

you get the point. every. freaking. game. I have to play around their whole teams cooldowns, I have to play around their positions and if I mess up one time with my position, I throw the whole game. It seems like I am so stressed out all the time when I play and when I do mess up, I get so mad at myself.

1. I feel like I have no kill pressure on tank

when I play winston, it takes 3-5 seconds to kill someone and most characters have time to react and use an ability that will help them live. To be fair, I am not the best winston, so when I do hit his dive combos it helps a lot, but on tank I feel like I am so weak. i play against so much genji, sojourn, sombra, and other characters where my backline just gets fucked and I cant peel fast enough to help and when I do, I don't do any damage and then they die anyways and the other team gets free space. like genuinely, how do I prevent my chungus dps from dying when they are freely peaking the widow and ashe and dying before the team fight starts.

1. I have no range

when I play support or dps I usually play hitscan or hitscan like characters so I have a lot of range, on tank that is not an option. I need to be in their face to make space and I feel like I am a giant meat shield and I get melted in 1 second. I liked mauga, but his abilities are kinda lackluster to me and he got hard nerfed so he kinda has no team play now.

1. tanks cooldowns are so lackluster

a lot of the tanks I play (winston, zar, mauga, with sigma being the exception) have little to no play making ability when it comes to their cooldowns IN MY OPINION.

with zarya, when I have dps that cant kill anything, all I do it bubble myself and try to kill their whole team. winston, I dive backline with bubble and ult. mauga, I shoot the tank and if I get low pop e.

I don't want to say I am bad, I have a 58% win rate on winston, a 56% winrate on zarya, and a 55% win rate on sigma, so I am not terrible, but GENERALLY, I feel like supports and dps have more impact on games than tanks do. I get very confused when playing tank because I don't know what the right decision is and it seems much harder to carry on tank when compared to support and dps. I have been told to play dva because she is busted and can do everything but to be honest I feel like she is worse than my other picks.

I am most likely wrong because I am a stupid diamond player but this is how tank has felt for 4 months and I am tired of it. I feel like all these tanks were designed for 6v6 and it is so hard to play in 5v5.

Let me know your opinions on it, are tanks where they should be or am I just bad.

( also any advice to win more games on tank would be very helpful ty )

Pretty much what the title says.may be important to note me and my friends are high plat. I’ve had friends say she’s broken and they always state her it’s because ‘you can’t kill her she just phases out’ or ‘she has aimbot’ but I can’t understand it and completely disagree. Majority of dps can burst her pretty quick and even other supps out duel her pretty easy like bap or kiriko. I also find when I play with a moira it puts slot of stress on the other supp making it especially difficult in 6v6. Am I wrong or are my friend right in saying she’s strong at the moment. Or is it a plat thing?
