For context, I usually play tank or healer, so I think I have a somewhat ok understanding of each side of the coin. But lately with so many people jumping to play Yago, I've been healing. I learned with Reso Ying against Yagos I can get a lot of damage but also a lot of heals. However, I know my job is first and foremost healing, so I do play to healing even when running Reso.
So, we're on the one siege map, the jaguar/jungle court. My team has a low level Yago and the other team has another level 10 or so Yago. Within the first round I knew it was gonna be a shit show. Our Yago wasn't playing as a point tank, much less any type of tank, and instead was trying to play like a flank. They kept going behind enemy lines and trying to fight there. Now, I'm Ying, and while I love her, she doesn't have the best range for heals, especially when teammates are far away, so instead of worrying about the Yago, I focused on the teammates that were trying to cap point. Wrong move in our Yagos eyes apparently. They started messaging chat, telling me to heal them. I couldn't say anything back as I am on Xbox.
It wasn't too bad, the trash talking, until I died at one point. Then our Yago started to spam "Need Healing". Now, I'm dead, and just spawning in, and they're all the way near the enemy spawn. I couldn't heal them even if I wanted to. They died and immediately they started screaming in all caps in chat about how I'm trash and a useless fucking bitch and need to delete the game. We somehow manage to win the defense. Next round we lost point again because surprise, surprise, the Yago wasn't trying to cap point and instead was sitting on the stairwell doing nothing, leaving me and our damages to try and cap point (mostly me as our damages and flanks were trying to protect me).
Well apparently our Yago didn't want them protecting me or trying to cap point as they began calling all of us, not just me this time, useless idiots and said they were going to stop trying, as if they had been before. At the end of it all, we lost, despite the four of us trying our best. I had pretty good healing for as short as the match was and as often as I was dead. The rest of my team other than the Yago had pretty good stats too. Yago had low damage and only about 24 obj time whereas I had about 96. Our Yago comes into lobby saying how they're the better Yago and then left.
Now I know people are just pricks to be pricks and to make themselves feel better and make themselves feel superior, but as someone who tanks as well and has played Yago to about level 10, I was infuriated. This person had no clue how to play a tank in any capacity and proceeded to blame all their shortcomings on our team. I'm just thankful it wasn't ranked.
But good lord, I've been seeing so many people who have no clue how to tank trying to play with Yago because she's new. I'm not against people trying to learn how to play tank, I do enjoy it but I would like to not have to play it all the time, but if they're just dicking around it's annoying. Anyone else running into this problem, or am I just unlucky?
