Rival Wings: Generator vs Tanks

[Vivi_Bushido]

Every match begins the same with someone telling the group to focus on the generator from start to finish, even with an onslaught of bots headed for your core. The generator still seems to be the focus for some. I find tanks to be just as effective as the generator is at times. I try to push for one person from each alliance to collect tanks while the rest go to the generator. Of course, that never works out as planned. For example, some don't listen and you now have entire alliances gathering tanks and none went for the generator; or your dps went but your healer went to collect tanks instead, so your dps die. And every now and then I see that occasional person say that mid helps but isn't meta at all. To which I say, that I have matches where we have had the generator all game long and still lost.

So my question is, what do you find to be the most ideal way to begin the game and continue the game all match long in regards to generator vs tanks, (Or even pushing mammets)?

I have seen games where we focused the generator in the mid but then the enemy is collecting tanks in the caves and walk out with bots first since the generator provides CE at a slow rate. Most would say, get the Generator and then clear out the caves. But there are some games where the generator room is so heavily contested that it could take up to 4mins before it's finally cleared out; and you even have the follow up of round 2 after that where people return to avenge their own deaths. And by the time those 4mins of slaughter are done, they already have bots from tanks.
