Overwatch's latest anniversary mode brings back pre-Overwatch 2 6v6 and I have to admit, I missed it

Zarya.

Role queueing as a tank in 5v5 Overwatch requires you to have three things: the mental fortitude of a monk, the siteline knowledge of a OWCS player, and a heart of gold, because good lord can this role feel hellish.

That is partially because a good tank can make and break your team, more so than any other role, mostly thanks to the fact that there's only one per team now after Overwatch's shift to 5V5. Instead of having a main and an off tank, you're required to be everything wrapped up in one: someone that can make space, hold the front line, and peel when your supports need you. Needless to say there's a lot of pressure.
