Just looking for Advice on Tanking
Use to play rivals a decent amount - solo qued rank (only got to diamond 3) recently joined back as some friends started playing and we wanted to try and rank grind. I realized a lot has changed since I played (last time I played highest character proficiency was Lord?) I’m a tank through and through. My main is Peni and I second Dino since he’s new and v aggro. (Use to play other tanks but just forgot how to play them so practicing) Like by no means do I think I’m a good player or anything but I do think I’m decent with Peni. (I think I’m Count with Peni? Whatever is right after lord) but like a lot of people hate Peni? Like quite a few games I’ll choose Peni and my team won’t heal me. Mind you I play defensively with Peni (set mines up for support so they have protection and set up the nest on back row to for healer protection) also if I’m being hard counter or focused I’ll switch to like thing or dino. Idk I’m just asking how do I get better? I just don’t want my team thinking I’m throwing when I’m trying. Other tanks I’m thinking of playing more are Thor, Groot, DP, Thing, or Hulk.
I guess also wondering what are somethings people who are not Peni mains hate about playing with a Peni? In case im doing / not doing something I should be
Few points to add:
- I don’t solo tank with Peni - that would be throwing
- I’ll usually have comparable damage / kills to our DPS so not like my stats are low
- I’m not a Peni dive player - either make space / push with other tank or am in back row body guarding healers
- I need to check but I think my damage taken is usually around 24-25K?
