Tanks dont feel fun

[AlastairKD]

Basically title, I've been trying every role so far and NONE of the Tank characters feel fun to play, only one I do remotely decent with is Peni since all the others just feel cumbersome and crap.

I kinda agree except that I hate all the vanguards except Venom and Groot. They're the only ones I do even halfway good with. Venom more-so then Groot.

I think it's mostly Magneto just sucks. The other tanks all have some niche but Mags is slow and doesn't feel like he can do his job

I agree somewhat, most of the tanks except groot and venom heavily depend on having some support healers, and most of them are extremely squishy otherwise, except a locked down peni, but if you pop her zone she gets melted extremely fast. The best way to take advantage of tank is to use tanks to build up your teammates, with the team up system. Otherwise, you are gonna either be useless, or feeding

I enjoy Thor, which is ironic as he's the weakest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tank.

Yeah thor is a joke unless you have a good hela, his ult can get great kills, but otherwise he needs some love

Yeah, he's definitely slow but he does hit surprisingly hard. I've used him a little bit. Don't like him as much as Venom or Groot but he's definitely usable. I do agree that's he's comically slow, though.

Venom, Hulk, and Strange all feel fun to me. And Peni I've only used thrice and my second time with her I got my second ever MVP; she might be my new fav tank.
Hulk is probably the least fun out of those for me, but he absolutely owns Cap and I see a lot of Caps so I end up playing him often.

Thor I couldn't get the hang of, and it didn't help his flying ability just straight up stopped working for three quarters of the match (he would spin it and then just put it down, no idea wtf was up with that)

Magneto defo needs some mobility, but when he has a wanda (as much as i hate that character), he gets the sword, which can melt if you got some aim. He still needs some work though

For thor, if you overspin his dash, it cancels so you dont have to go through with it, thor is defo the tank people gotta think on, with his unique playstyle

It's just too much damage going around, so you get melted.

They need to ramp down damage by a lot.

I think most of them are fun when i get proper amounts of healing to survive

its mainly because most teams go 4 duelist and 2 healers, and if a tank appears on the field they hard focus them, which causes damage to ramp up. But you aint wrong. So much damage, so much healing, not enough anti heal or shields

I like Captain America and Magneto. Dr Strange and Hulk feel fine but a little uninteresting for the most part. I haven't really played Venom. Groot and Thor don't feel good to play, but I feel like Thor would be more interesting if I took the time to learn him. Peni feels strong when I play with/against her, but I haven't really figured out how to use her effectively yet.

I wouldn't say he sucks at all. He's actually pretty good. He can do his job really well, but not the job of some other tanks.
He's more of an Anchor than a Vanguard. He's not going to be leading the charge, but he'll hold ground (generally around the objective) for the team to fight around. He can do some pretty good damage, especially if he has the sword from Scarlet Witch, and his multiple shields provide good protection for the team. His ult also serves double purpose of being a defensive tool and a large damage nuke.

Personal opinion. Tanks are the most fun for me but I always play them/bruisers in every game.

Hmm, maybe that was the case but I thought I had tried that.
I was only using him for a Mission, so I'm not too worried about it, especially since i already play 4 other Tanks, but if I ever revisit him I'll experiment more
