Not shaming anyone, however just had a crazy loss streak where in ma games teammates have been putting up low numbers and generally position very poorly. I mean these guys literally position and aim like the easy AI if you take it all in I would feel bad for my teammates but now they’re bringing my rank down. Im just watching the enemy teams sweep my misplaced tanks dps and supps while im peaking trying to keep everyone alive / dps duties. Are these trolls, genuine bots, or griefers?

Looking for advice on how i could’ve played better this game, i felt i played okay and i know there were some really bad plays so just looking for any advice on how i could’ve won that match.

Hi! After a 10 game winning trend I've found my self in plat 2, and I have no idea what's going on. Not long ago I was a hard stuck gold, and its terrifying being this high in plat all of a sudden. After the win streak its been very close games and theyre really fun, but I don't know what I'm doing. I really struggled with finding proper positioning this game, which is why I chose it. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've recently started playing tank as I'm bored of playing dps and picked up doomfist due to his mythic skin releasing soon. I understand from watching a few guides on tanking that the main role of the tank is to create/hold space.

The different types of tanks (poke/brawl/dive) all do this in varying ways. For dive tanks specifically, I understand that applying pressure on isolated targets/backline and getting kills or generating the threat of a kill is how you force cds and get the enemy team to focus on you thereby creating/allowing you to hold space.

However, the part i don't understand is how to do all that with doomfist when it feels like he has no real defensive ability except block? Like winston can use bubble and brawl with his tesla cannon. DVA can use defensive matrix and poke with her primary fire. Ball has adaptive shields and gattling guns with actual range.

Doom on the other hand has his block and a short range shotgun with only 4 bullets that basically lose most of their damage beyond 5m. Due to this, I can't seem to be able to hold a corner with doomfist without the enemy tank just walking me down or having favourable trades with me. This kind of forces me to have to constantly force dives on their backline whenever I have slam available to try and create space because otherwise it feels like I'm getting 0 value. However, due to my low hp I also get melted fast and my window of opportunity where i can apply pressure on the enemy backline feels alot shorter than other dive tanks.

This leads to my team not having enough time to capitalise on the space I've created before I have to slam/punch back to safety. Constantly diving also leads to me eventually screwing up a dive and inting as well.

I'm kind of lost on what to do at this point so can any high rank tank players/doom otps please help me with this? I really want to be a good doom player as I like the fact that he has so much depth in terms of mechanics and gamesense involved. Also because I might have watched a few too many doomfist montages and gotten inspired 💀.
