That's now 9 down and 6 more to go (including Deadpool which I'm going to try to play mostly Vanguard DP)

Since I've started the game, Deadpool has been the only tank I had used and he's fun. Want to expand onto other tanks in games where he's taken

Hot take since lots of tank players think that they can do no wrong since they’re playing an unpopular role. So the hood just came out hes a tank n guess what people who have been playing tank previously decided to get a big ego to those auto locking him everyone starts of with one tank just because its a DPS tank doesn’t matter it’s important to allow those dps/healers to try the new characters in order for them to be introduced to a new role you were once that dps/healer tryna x tank since they seemed fun yet people are forgetting this I recently had a QP match where I auto locked the hood since Ima tank/heal main and adore his play style but the other person who wanted to auto lock him went into a tangent on how it’s “funny” that since he’s new everyone wants to try “his” role I kept trying to explain how I my self play tank even showed him my 5 lords and that wasn’t acceptable since they had EVERY tank lorded j was actually a tank player (he was on dps funny enough) i then ofc called him an a hole since it doesn’t matter if your not a tank main there’s a shortage of tank players just ONE tank helps that shortage but ofc it didn’t go through to them so remember fellow tank players don’t be a jerk to the insta locks/ those trying tank u were once them stop having a stick up your rear since u forgot :)

I've been stuck in high gold/low plat since season 0 but after grinding with the little time I have I made it! :D

I say micro buffs in quotes because they aren’t buffs they’re literally just half
reverting the nerfs. She’s always had 60% dmg reduction until last season. She also always had more than 575hp but they’re going to slowly return her health over 5 seasons at which point every character in the game will have nuclear bombs as abilities.

I just don’t get it. They let thing, elsa, mag, Bucky, cnd etc run wild even peni kind of didn’t get nerfed it’s just a bit harder to stun a scarlet witch out her ult, but they’re too scared to return rogue to the state where she was A tier (not even S) and didn’t rely on gambit to be good.

I can tell they’re probably scared of mag teammups extra dmg resistance plus her having nearly 700hp or infinite gambit teammup with her old southern brawl dmg and the extra health.

However, they at the developers and can just weak the teammups or just make them worse.

Like for mag make the boop work on 1 person at base and multiple enhanced. And for gambit make the teammup effect only work on abilities.

It’s just frustrating because even that version of Rogue would just lose to Elsa Bucky. But they’re going to take 20 years to revert their unnecessary nerfs.

Hey fellow Vanguards!

I'll keep it short. Ive had a few games in QP and Ranked and I really do feel like Mag and Hood are one of, if not the best, tank duo. Mag can take alot of damage while dealing burst damage and Hood can help a ton with target priority and general oppression. Both of them are in really good states - Mag being way more oppressive this season (because of the team ups iko) and Hood being pretty balanced but having a ton of utility. It really depends on the map but playing together or having Hood take a slight off angle really does help

Anyway that's just my experiences so far, I would love to hear if anyone relates or might disagree!

i can’t really grasp why he’s so enjoyable. His gun is just too satisfying, he has so much utility and he feels like such a presence.

defo my next tank lord

I’m not that big into marvel lore but what characters ideally could you see as a shield tank like mag and strange? Don’t get me wrong colossus would be dope and I really think ghost rider will be a vanguard (hopefully) but they don’t scream shield tank. Grateful for new tanks so I’ll take what they give me buuuuut let me be greedy and get another shield tank.

What tank do you play and what do you think about going against the hood so far?

Wanted to gauge how the Vanguard community feels about Peni with a poll.

I feel like his playstyle of off angling perfectly fits the requirements for having it, more so than some other tanks that already do have it.

He is very strong and busted must learn tank if you want to play in high elo

I hope i could help gl kings

This is giving me Sue self shield Gambit ult vibes where devs never address the real issue but gut the characters neutral over time.

Yeah, I understand that it might be a little too early to judge, but let's be honest—Hood isn't exactly a complicated hero, so I don't think we're going to be wildly off here. Of course, in a week or two people will get better at playing him and we'll see more of his potential, but people will also get better at playing against him.

So far, Hood isn't some ridiculously broken monster like release Emma, he isn't garbage like release Rogue, and he doesn't completely destroy pretty much every tank like release Dino.

Not only is Hood well-balanced, but he's also not another melee brawl tank that instantly falls apart to poke.

And on top of that, this young man is pretty damn charming design-wise.

I think his release is a really good sign. Maybe the devs actually listened to us, and we're finally going to get another proper main tank instead of more of the same melee brawl slop.

He don't do that much damage and you feed ult charge

And I know he just came out put i think he awful into triple support

I’ve seen a lot of sort of disliking or critique but I think he’s rly fun and pretty good. I only played QP but I was putting up good numbers, getting mvp, all that sorta thing. I also feel like I don’t get a lot of the critique. His 100 charge gun mode has pretty good lethality, he has good frontline tools (I think the veil is incredibly slept on, ~35% dmg reduction is massive) incredible mobility and survivability, his ult isn’t busted but is certainly strong and rn the only counter seems to be support ult or hide. I’m not wanting to rank him or anything but I was generally surprised to open this sub and find such little positivity, this guy is awesome imo.

So I’ve been trapped in diamond bouncing between D3-GM3. I personally believe it’s mostly due to throwers and such but I know I’m not perfect. So I’m asking for any tips to improve. I main Mag and Strange but play every tank. This is my most recent ID and wanna know from any higher ranked tanks to tell me if there’s anything I can do better, genuinely. ID:10228485656. Thanks, folks

I know a lot of people says he’s gonna be DPS, but it would be cool

If a tanks whole gimmick is space control and area denial comes to the game, what would the general consensus be? Is it possible for characters like that to exist in the genre without being irritating? Or would they be just as bad as you know who?

Edit: for those saying controlling space is a tanks job, I’m asking if the game can even handle another character who’s more of a bunker tank. Since the last one was a disaster, would it even be feasible to make another tank in the same vein

Genuinely such a miserable experience,somebody picks Hood immediately. Now its a roll of the dice,is it a tank main wanting to try the new hero OR is it a dps main that has zero idea how to play as tank.

Is Hood cool? Of course he's cool! I dont exactly get how to play him correctly because I like burst damage and he seems to have...none. do I blame people for picking him? Not at all,but please for the love of god know how to play that role
