Hey everyone,

I’m currently Gold 2 on tank and taking ranked seriously now. My short-term goal is Plat within the next couple of weeks, and my long-term goal is Diamond. Realistically, I think Diamond might be my peak across roles, but I want to push properly and see how far I can go.

I solo queue most of the time. I have friends, but I genuinely feel like I learn and perform better solo.

My Hero Pool

• Sigma – my most played and comfort pick
• D.Va – second most played
• Looking for a third tank to round out the pool

I’m locking in Sigma and D.Va long-term and want to actually master them instead of swapping constantly.

I’ve tried:

• Ramattra – feels niche, not confident blind picking him
• Junker Queen – can play her but not fully comfortable
• Zarya – I know she’s strong/meta, but I don’t enjoy her and she’s frequently banned in my games

So I’m looking for a third tank that:

• Covers Sigma/D.Va weaknesses
• Can be reasonably blind picked
• Works well in solo queue environments

What I Need Help With

1. Sigma weaknesses (post-buff) What are his clear losing matchups or situations now? When should I absolutely not force Sigma?
2. D.Va weaknesses When does D.Va just not work? What comps shut her down hardest in Gold/Plat environments?
3. Best third tank option If I’m committed to Sigma + D.Va, what fills the gaps best? Winston? Rein? JQ? Ramattra? Something else?
4. Any advice on climbing from Gold to Plat as tank in the current meta (positioning, tempo control, ult cycling, etc.) would help.

If anyone around my rank wants to grind seriously, I also have a small private server with people who are trying to improve.

Appreciate any insight 🙏
