End of thread, the vast majority of players do not want tank queues and would prefer to wait longer for healer queues
(A) - remove tanks from rated solo shuffle
(B) - have tanks take the place of a dps instead
(C) - have an option for people to opt out of tank queues
Any of the options would satisfy the vast majority of players
I like tank games
I like the opt out option
You would be the vast minority
The vast majority do not want tanks in the arena experience
It’s really just a vocal minority against tanks
make tanks take the spot of a healer and q into another healer so i can stomp them into the dirt
That works too
If you want tanks to take the spot of a healer, vs them against healers
I think having a Healer/Tank/DPS combo is appropriate. If 2x DPS are available and no tanks are queue’d then Healer/DPS/DPS would pop.
All the other suggestions I have seen seem to be more motivated by frustration and immaturity then anything.
This game has always operated with the “Holy Trinity” in mind… they should balance all game modes to handle tank participation.
I mean i out heal healers as prot so go for it put me vs another healer wont change the fact ill gain easier rating as prot then as Ret
A or C please
This is probably the best thing they can do. Opt out if you’re willing to spend extra time in queue to get healers.
I want tanks to be able to do content…and it’s quite simple.
Every tank class has a dps spec…so they should be forced into the dps spec. Tanks literally don’t do anything in arena except dps anyway. I don’t understand the need to let tanks in 3 v 3 rated content. It’s miserable for everyone except the guardian druid “lol’ing” while moonfire kills an entire team which leads to someone leaving the match anyway.
Why not just make tanks queue only into other tanks? 3 tanks vs 3 tanks, just button mash it out
This sounds like a lot of fun for the tanks. Tanks love tank gameplay and know that tanks make PvP better so tank on tank on tank on tank on tank on tank action surely would not be opposed by them.
Only viable solution is banning tanks
bruh imagine queueing into Lock / ProtPala / Healer. That could f k right off LUL

You just touched down on why Blizzard has stayed far away from solo centric PvP in the past. Their classes are not balanced in PvP at all… A Prot Warrior makes the comp you mentioned much less of a problem because you can train a Prot warrior to death… A Prot Paladin on the other hand might as well be a raid boss in PvP… This is a class balance issue. The simple perspective is that it’s a tank problem… The real issue is class balance in the scenario you pointed out…not tanks in general.
That would just be 2 of the matches though, the other 4 they wouldnt be together
It’s still a tank problem in general.
“Balanced” tanks or not it’s still 3 dps vs 3 dps instead of having a healer each match. Triple dps is a meme; doesn’t belong in rated.
Wingclipt: “It’s still a tank problem in general” and “Balanced” tanks or not it’s still 3 dps vs 3 dps instead of having a healer each match"
The second statement is not a tank problem it is a match structure problem aka a lack of healers. The logical solution is to remove the Tank/DPS/DPS in favor of Healer/Tank/DPS and Healer/DPS/DPS…
As far as what belongs in rated…well I think that’s up to Blizzard not Wingclipt.
