  • The Nier collab bundle is out. 6900 credits
  • Simple guide to tanking from bronze 5 to GM/Champ

    Hello competitors ! I'm PASTY, a GM/Champ player (Champ 4 peak) who plays mostly tank (I enjoy playing Winston, Reinhardt, ball and Hazard). I'm curently in the FaceIt league Expert div as a player and a coach for an Advanced team in FaceIt. I started overwatch 2 bottom of bronze in season 1 and climbed all the way to top 500.

    Today, I will present to you my simplified version of "how to be lobby admin as a tank" !

    So first of all what character should you pick ?

    The answer is whatever tank you enjoy right now. Unless you are already high elo (GM and above), the character you enjoy playing doesn't really matter and you can make everything work perfectly, regardless of "counters". If you don't want to otp wich is fine, try to lock yourself to 2 or 3 maximum heroes you enjoy playing.

    What's your job as a Tank ?

    On internet you will receive multiples opinions, the most common is creating space. But what does it means ? It means clearing area of the maps that you believe is valuable for you and your team (for exemple an high ground) or force the ennemies to fall back in bad positions (like open spaces without cover).

    How do I create space as a Tank ?

    Before the figth happens, you are supposed to have all your cooldowns and all of your hp. Your job will be to close the distance to make them be in your effective range (depends on your character) without using abilities and without loosing hp. To do that your best friend will be called natural cover, it is a place in the map where you can hide from bullets and damage. As a tank, if they are all looking in a direction, even with a big shield, walking in front of 5 people is not the solution, you want to try find other paths to close the distance and then use moovement ability to go out or create distance with your defensive cooldown. Being a tank doesn't mean you are invincible. When you are in the ennemy face, they will look at you and not at your team, meaning your team can shoot them while you are creating distraction. But when the ennemies are looking at you, they will use cooldowns on you, that you will have to dodge/block with your own abilities. When you are low hp or without a lot of cooldown, this is the moment you should get out.

    Advantage or disavantage.

    An advantage is whatever can benefit your team in the figth (getting a kill, having better position than ennemies, using an ultimate or hearing a teammates ulti and just having more cooldowns than the ennemy). When you have an advantage, this is the moment where you should push to create even more advantage by space creation. Until to that moment try to avoid getting poked too much and using cooldowns because you will need it if you are getting an advantage.

    A disavantage is the opposite situation where something doesn't benefit you (for exemple you don't have cooldowns, or one of your teammates got killed early). In thoses kind of situations, it's fine to just give up map control and wait for the ennemis to do a mistake.

    Ennemy team can also have a situationnal advantage such as using ultimate. Wich as a tank you can either temporize by using cover. Or you can try denying it to help your team.

    Counters

    As a tank, the second you will do good, you will see people counterswapping. But they cannot counter skill. When you are facing counters, you will have to adapt your playstyle and you can try to ban characters that are annoying. But you will have to learn how to deal with thoses counters. For exemple, if i'm Winston playing against Reaper bastion. Instead of jumping then using bubble in front of them and exploding, i will set up on high ground, then drop on them with bubble and go out After that. Trying to catch them by surprise when they are alone or low hp/cooldowns. Counters doesn't mean you have to switch, but to try adapting your playstyle. And yes you will suffer a lot playing tank.

    General tips

    So first of all as i've said previously, tank is a role where you must be patient until you see an opportunity (an advantage). When you are waiting, try to avoid taking 5M damages by chilling behind cover. Try keeping your cooldowns for when you see an opportunity to capitalize more on this opportunity. You don't have to always go for the kill, sometimes it's better to just go back after baiting cooldowns, chill for 5s and go in after getting healed by your supports. It will also buy Time for your dps to set up.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask me or DM me. If you need personnal vod review you can dm too, I would be glad to help you.

  • Do experienced players actually care about what you're doing in game?

    I'm a pretty new player to ow, and I'm still extremely scared of playing unranked/quick play matches. I've won some once or twice with my friends, but I'm scared of screwing up to actually join one on my own. Do the better players actually judge you for being stupid, especially if you're with low rank characters? I just want to try my best to not be an obnoxious player who sets the team back. I play mostly Reaper, but considering I barely know the maps at all I fear I'll mess up my flanks every single time smh

  • 8 days until we decide who gets custody of Echo

    I hope that whichever team wins next week will have an actual effect on the lore.

    Of course Echo is team Overwatch but it’d be pretty cool if she ended up joining Talon based on our votes :-)
