As a GM Soldier main whose mouse sensor broke, I had to play tank for a few seasons. I never understood all the hate that role got. For instance, I've always seen counter-swapping as a core mechanic of the game, and I never minded cycling through all the available tank heroes. My negative experiences on tank were mostly due to bad map design. I feel like poorly designed maps, like Circuit Royal with its long sight lines and unflankable chokes, limit skill expression and creativity more than a counter-picked tank on the enemy team.
It's the fact that tanks in 6vs6 had so many cool options to do, now you only have one correct option to win and a lot of options to lose. In Rein duel, you could take the tank exchange and try to outskill their Rein, or you could rush backline, or you could just speed around the enemy team and play point. Now there are no options. Counter swapping was a thing, but there was always a way to outskill your opponent if he wasn't that comfortable on the counter. The new tanks that are easy to play and super strong made that impossible, e.g. Mauga.

great video but I don't think Marvel Heroes is going to take off lol, even if OW truly dies.
I believe, don't let me down Marvel
