Highest dps tank?

[BigEazy]

Curious which one you'd recommend if I like DPS and tanking in one? I know they won't match duelist dps of course.

Strange does the most damage on tank, think hulk is second place

Interesting I was thinking like Venom and Thor.

Hulk can deal some high damage if you can keep close to targets. I've only used Strange and Hulk mostly when I tank... Well, I've used Magnetto a lot too but not enough to really judge if his damage output is good or better then anyone else...

Here's me playing Hulk against some AI bots...

Going by primary only; strange and groot are tied, mag is 2nd and Venom is 3rd which can be higher due to him being the only tank able to headshot with his primary.

Thor does insane damage with his Awakened ability (up to 750 damage over 6 seconds iirc). But overall Strange and Hulk deal the damage way faster with their primary attacks. With that said, I think Thor's playstyle and abilities are the most fun and it's who I main

Probably penni if you spam all the mines at once, most overall my money would be strange.

Oh, I use groot too. I don't think his damage is that high though... It's easier to land though since it's at least a projectile and not melee like hulks are...

But then again, I usually just like spamming his tree's since they block all damage and provide my team with cover, which I find to be more important to keep up then dealing damage. I am a TANK after all lol.

The mines though I would say is too dependent on the enemy team actually running into them. You can get a lot of damage for sure with them. But if the team is smart and figures out how you set them you might find them easily avoiding them altogether.

It's a double edge sword type move IMO

Gotta add because i forgot to check penni: she's actually 2nd place at like 99-ish dps with a 3.33 firerate/ 30 damage shot.

Groot should be tied with strange at 100 dps with his 0.7 intervals but that could be wrong.

Thor clears Hulk if you have a pocket healer tbh

[Nokturnal]

Peni can consistently deal higher damage than the DPS on her team due to her Spider Mines, how effective that DPS is debatable. Does best on Convoy defense, don't really recommend her for anything else though, but she can still be decent, especially due to how quick she can CC enemies with her right click.

Thor and Hulk are both more off-tanks than Tanks and can deal good damage, they got a high skill floor though, gotta be able to land their projectile attacks and leaps. Hulk in Ultimate form can do about 1/3rd of a line of enemies life per Clap, spam that, save the Worldbreaker grab for healers.

Magneto really needs Scarlet on the team to get some good DPS, Strange can deal good dps as well but you still need to block a lot of the time, can't just go full offense with either of them really.

Venom is getting buffed for a reason, he "can" do good dps but in general it's very easy to heal through, even landing a Stomp + Ult isn't going to kill people. Gotta consistently land all 4 projectiles of his ranged attack to do good dps which can be rough on the smaller hitbox heroes.

Groot requires using his walls effectively to deal the most damage, if you can actually aim his ranged attack and place walls effectively he can do his own version of the Peni spawn mine trap with walls + his grenade.

I will admit that I feel that if you can land Groots Ultimate well and use that one projectile that has a cool down while the ultimate pulls everyone close it will melt all low health targets really quickly with those two attacks. It's great spike damage with a little bit of dot damage at the end.

[LegPuller]

Strange is the best tank in the game. It's no contest. Just primary, melee or primary, insta shield. Full dark magic release. Repeat and position properly, use the flight to escape. Tbh his ult is his biggest down-side because of other Strange's ability to block it so easily. The shield blocks damn near everything. Portal is also really strong for positioning, and team combos. He's also really fun to play. Got from Gold 3 to Plat 1 in 2 nights with him.

Under completely optimal set up and conditions top 2 is no question penni then groot.

It just easier to evaluate based off primary fire cause for those 2 in particular will vary wildly.

[NotReallyMyName]

Thor deals a lot of damage once he hits his F ability and starts throwing lightning, Strange can deal a lot of damage with the primary fire and his E ability when enemies are near, or to remove the anti-heal penalty after hitting 100 in his dark magic meter. Penni deals insane damage with her nest, and groot is decent with his leafy walls that attack the same targets that you attack.

[Izuzul]

If you can track your targets well peni can push out some big damage. Smart mine usage helps even more. I love sticking some to corners up high for storm and iron man to find and dropping a few at the feet of hulk as he goes back to banner is funny every time.
