My #1 piece of advice: Enjoy being a tank. It should be a lot of fun to be the person who gets to be in the center of everything. Yes, people and situations are going to stress you the hell out perhaps, but honestly? Just remember to enjoy your job and the game in general.

That is followed up quickly with my #2 piece of advice: Grow a thick skin, which will help you to achieve the advice above. There will be plenty of times during the learning process you will be hated-on, which is unfortunate but it happens, and times where you get hated-on even when you've done nothing wrong and far past the intro phase. As long as you know you are doing your job to the best of your learned ability, then be satisfied.

And finally, #3: While you're growing a thick skin, be careful not to grow a thick skull while you're at it. Learn to take advice and criticism so that you can learn. Not everyone who has something to say about your play-style will be just a hater -- some people have valuable knowledge worth sharing, and you will be a better player by listening.

That's it from me. <3
