How to not feed as a main tank when you have low heals?

Always focus your play around what you can do rather than what your teammates should do. Whatever mistakes your teammate makes (not healing enough) is just another parameter in the game for you. And you have to figure out the best play in every situation.

If Ana is not healing you when she should for any reason (out of position, not looking, dps'ing), you can't change the Ana. But you can figure out what you should do in that situation.

So, in that situation, I would just play slow and wait until Ana sees that I'm in need of help. Use natural cover. If I do that and still get killed, then I did my best. But if I don't realize Ana is not healing and went aggro and died, then that's on ME for not having the game sense to realize I'm not being healed. Yes -- a good Ana *should* focus heals on me but keep in mind that the bad Ana you get will be on the opposite team next time. So the Rein that minimizes the cost of their healers' mistakes will contribute most to the team.

The thing is, you don't have to win every fight to climb. You just have to make less mistakes than other Reins at your level consistently in a way that adds value to your team.

I'm NOT a strong player by any means. I regularly make mistakes but I try to focus on what I personally could have done even in a bad situation to make it less bad.
