Here’s a post by one Mr. Jeff “Jeff” Kaplan talking about his 132 experimental. Not Aaron’s experimental, not Bobby’s experimental, Jeff’s experimental.
For good measure, here’s an article where Jeff talks a bit about the 132 experimental.
The article’s got the ice cream analogy in there:
Is one of your goals to get more people to play tank?
Kaplan: Not necessarily. This is how I’ve been thinking about it: imagine we’re an ice cream store, and we have three flavors of ice cream. We have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, and you have to line up for all three flavors separately. So, imagine the vanilla line is way, way longer than the chocolate or the strawberry line. I feel like it’s the wrong philosophy to ask, “What can we do to convince the vanilla people to like strawberry more?” It makes more sense to say, “We need more vanilla ice cream!”
That’s a great analogy.
Heiberg [scrolling through his phone]: Actually, the most popular flavor—it looks like it might be chocolate after all. Depends on the source.
Kaplan: Well, we know it’s not strawberry. Strawberry is the tank.
Although they (very understandably) backed down from 132, 122 follows through with this logic; by only needing two tanks for every four DPS, Jeff tried to provide more vanilla ice cream for folks instead of convincing them that strawberry was great.
