Yeah that’s what I said here too? This is one of my replies earlier:

I feel like I am pretty unbiased with regards to this as I do play Prot Pal from time to time and I have to say allowing tanks to play in their own bracket is really bad for the game.

Some specs just require a healer to perform in 3v3. It’s a miserable experience if you are one of those specs.

Allowing certain specs to avoid the larger meta creates a host of issues.

The tank bracket will be smaller therefore increasing the odds of people being able to win trade/cheat.

Prot Pal isn’t the only “healer” tank spec. For example Bear druid has at times been able to heal as well as prot pal with passive resto affinity, regrowth bombs, and other abilities that absorb damage for teammates.

There’s more too, but this issue has been re-hashed so many times I cba to go over it in minute detail every time. Tanks taking the role of healers is obviously bad. Just look at this forum and reddit lol. People hate it. They need to have tanks take a dps slot and only 1 tank per series so there is never a side with healer/tank/tank.

I also think this bracket could be making queues longer as well since it’s splitting the queue 3 ways with a healer queue, a tank queue, and a prot pal queue.

Check Bertimus’s post history as well as he has been trying to outline the issues with them as healers a lot.
