just remove stupid insta full heal.

U realize classes with no immunities or sustain will go 0-6. If u join a tank game with 2 gaurdian Druid 2 fury warriors and a dhs and you are a destro or ele you are going to lose every round because you will just die through walling at full hp

It truly does feel like when you get queued with tanks you start realizing how to make full use of your entire kit. This is because you don’t have the crutch of a healer to rely upon to save you. I know the vocal minority on these forums may find it hard to believe. But it does take a bit more “skill” to test your CD usage and how you apply your crowd control.

I would argue crowd control is way more important here with tanks than with healers too. You see if a dps messes up or doesn’t use their cds right, they die easily. And I believe that’s why these players complain so much. They can’t “win” with how they typically approach arenas. You have to be able change up your frame of mind when you que with tanks.

Most games ending in the first DR is the opposite of great.

Thank you mr 1300 brewmaster. As always your lack of knowledge goes unwanted and un-asked for.

Tank Q’s is where the skillful PvP is at. I hope some day the AWC makes it where you need Tanks in your comp to compete. Then they might get some views.

complains about healers constantly
also complains when its tanks
Would y’all rather sit in 40 minute queues or have 5 minute queues that have tanks?

Is it really that important to pearl clutch so hard that you’re driving players away? The ‘play meta comps or else’ mentality is what’s going to cause the community to die faster than anything Blizzard can do.

Agreed, tanks should be banned

Its y’alls game, you can let it die if you want.

Honestly the worst newbie intro to arena would be getting stuck in a shuffle where neither of the tanks are using their utility and matches just end in 20 seconds.

Because heaven knows most tanks just want to be tankier dps.

Having tanks in will kill the game quicker than banning tanks would

Healer/dps/dps or healer/tank/dps. It is as big of a problem that as a tank spec, you know that you’re only queueing into other tank specs, and as a prot paladin, you know you’re only queueing into other prot paladins. Tank/dps/dps is way too undesirable of a format for too many specs for this content type to be taken seriously. They aren’t going to ban an entire role from shuffle. The absence of healer is worse than presence of tank.

I wasn’t speaking specifically about tanks in arenas, pearl clutching has been quite the problem for a long time and tank comps are just a layer of it.

The community in WoW isn’t getting bigger, and the more likely you are to disincentivize those remaining players from participating, the worse its going to get. Being the fun police of a dying game is just going to drive people away.

I couldn’t imagine how toxic rated solo shuffle would be for a starting arena player with or without tanks.

I mean it’d be better with healers.

Hopping into 2v2 as dps/dps for instance is a miserable time.

Tank/dps/dps plays similar to most double dps 2s comps. Its not easy but nuanced and can be quite powerful. I’m speaking historically, I have no clue about DF balancing with respect to such a comp.
