Tank Map Guide

Welcome to the Tank Map Guide, crafted to help you choose the most effective tank heroes based on map-specific dynamics. This guide is based on color-coded rankings from professional players and top-level insights, highlighting the best picks, strong picks, situational picks, and heroes to avoid on each map.

A Note About This Guide

Theoretically, the tank you pick should align with your team's overall composition—whether you're running dive, brawl, or poke. However, tanks are versatile and often adapt to different playstyles, so don't treat this guide as the gospel truth. The heroes listed here have proven effective at high-level play, but success depends on teamwork, coordination, and playstyle. Take this with a grain of salt and focus on finding what works for you and your team.

How to Use This Guide

This guide is structured by map type—Control, Escort, Push, Flashpoint, and Clash—and provides the following breakdown for each map:

• Best Picks: These heroes are highly recommended for their consistent performance on the map.

• Strong Picks: These heroes are dependable and perform well in most scenarios.

• Situational Picks: These heroes can excel depending on your team's composition and the enemy's strategy.
