Tanks need a buff.
Its a bit ridiculous that they get out damaged by supports in a 1v1. Also since most supports can self heal and have better movement options, they normally win in a 1v1.

I say this as a support main, you can check my stats if you wanna make sure I'm not a salty tank player lol.

I got to gold 2 by goofing off and playing rocket and loki as DPS characters, because they're a way better tank than actual tanks. I can distract and run circles around the enemy team for way longer than the tanks on my team, and I can actually do damage to kill the enemy. Its like 4 loki shots to kill a dps, but 4-5 hulk hits, and like 7+ captain america punches to kill.

Seems like the tank role is exclusively for people who just wanna stand around and get healed. They're the least threatening class to 1v1, and can be ignored in team fights unless they have their ult.

In this game, I don't respect tanks at all. They step forward, I step forward too. I bully them, I annoy them or just straight up overpower them. If they are alone I tell my teammates to don't worry, I got this.

Again, they are important role, but way too dependent on the team.

LoL I know not all tanks are created = but I'm laughing my butt off hard when Venom dives me on support. Dude tickles me I don't even pay attention to him and just keep firing healing orbs. They eventually just give up and target something else then die

You have no clue what your talking about. Hulk is one of the most banned characters in the game.

I think it depends on the tank
personally, I don't think Cap or Venom should be doing much damage considering their main gameplan is to dive onto the backline and start disrupting things. Because then they just become really tanky assassins, which is bad.
Groot does TOO MUCH damage, even without perfect wall setup.
Thor is perfectly fine for what he is right now. Peni as well. Strange DEFINITELY does too much damage, at least in his dark magic explosion. Hulk teamup makes it way stronger too
Magneto's damage is also fine, I just think his normal left click needs to have much longer range, it's way too stubby. Just give it damage falloff and it'll be balanced.
Loki needs to have clones set up to deal the most of his damage and if rocket is dealing damage, he isn't healing, so I think both of them are balanced in that regard.
Adam and Mantis also dealing good damage is fine because their healing is (somewhat) limited. Luna should probably do less damage, Invisible woman is fine.

Depends entirely on the tank.

Supports aren't out damaging Thor. They aren't out-bursting full dark magic Dr Strange. Magneto and Groot can really put the hurt on people too. Hulk, Venom, and Captain can soak up a ton of damage and attention from the enemy team, if they did a lot of damage on top of that, they'd be super oppressive. Peni is area denial with a super short cooldown crowd control ability and decent sustained dps.

They're the least threatening class to 1v1 until Thor pops Thorforce and deletes your *** in 1.5 seconds. Ignore Thor at your own peril. A good Hulk, Groot, or Strange is going to manhandle supports in a 1v1.

Or you just evaporate to a well placed Peni trap. Yea, you can't ignore most tanks if they're played properly.

its impossible for any support to 1v1 a tank, unless the tank legit is just standing there doing nothing, even rocket with his nearly 200 dps at point blank, he just doesnt live enough to beat any of the tanks

Thor is the only tank I've come to fear when it comes to dueling potential. Peni is the other when it comes to wanting to engage but being denied by her mines.

The tanks do great damage.

Strange has the ability to one shots healers.
Groot has crazy damage
Hulk can 3 shot squishies if he gets on them.
Magnet 5 shots squishies with basic. If you land mag connon its 2 aa follow up.
Penni 1 shots squishes with good mine placement even without her basic 3 shots.
Thor 3 shots with like 4 different combo options.
Venom and cap are probably the weakest however if paired with a dive both have cc that can set up kill secures quite easily.

dps and healers can also combo and kill people quickly, while also having better movement and the ability to heal others. The tanks are basically just worse dps characters.
