Tank Guide
Unyielding Guardians of the Team
Tanks are durable frontline heroes who initiate fights, absorb damage, and protect their carries. They roam the map providing vision, setting up kills, and controlling objectives. A good tank dictates the pace of the game through superior map awareness and clutch crowd control. Tanks sacrifice personal damage for the ability to keep their team alive.
