A good tank against flyers?

[vatszero]

I just dont know who is even a halfway effective tank against flyers, none of them have a hit scan, half of them are melee. Im sorta between penny and Thor, but Pennys whole passive healing by staying in the nest is totally shut down by human torch and Thor also doesnt reaaaally do great against flyers you have to go way out of you way to hit them. Honestly its just better half the time to ignore the flyers and just take out the healers 9 time out of 10 as tank, which is why I feel some of the best teams right now is 2~3 flying units and then 1~3 bruisers to just rush down their healers as they try and deal with your flying units and thats not really... fun.

Unfortunately, you mostly have to rely on your team having a good Namor to deal with flyers. I don't think tanks can do much unless they knock them off the sky like Hulk would do or Peni just shooting at them or even stunning them to make them drop down.

Sadly the webs just sorta, drop them alittle but dont last long enough to ground them, Considering the distance they tend to stay it to its near impossible to land the webs.

Just harrassing them with the shooting is what I was thinking to but then just leaves you open to the bruisers running at you.

Honestly I think the only use for tanks in this season is gonna be bruisers other tanks are just gonna be useless this patch aslong as flyer meta remains a thing.

mr fantastic is incredible against fliers, once you get close to them you right click + left click + e + left click + e + left click, almost always a free kill

none is good against flyers. u depend on invis woman or punisher.

the only tank thats halfway decent against flying heroes is unfortunately dr. strange as he can also fly and burst them with his e or poke em with primary fire.

Thor can deal with flyers, but only if you are damn good with bash and hammer throw. Hulk can also knock them with his leap but again, he has to be good to pull it off as most flyers are played by spastics with ADD who twitch and move erratically.

Magneto's primary is AoE and detonates at 25 meters, so it can make for a decent anti-air weapon if you can eyeball the range.

Not really enough to effectively kill flyers fast, but it definitely gives them something to think about. Or at least enough to retreat and heal.
