Alright Blizzard it’s been cute and all but all these HP buffs and damage nerfs have made the tank players bold again.
Time for another 50% (or higher) damage taken penalty added to tank players.

I can finally tank a bg without being 1 shot

This already felt like a bit of a lazy tuning knob, I’d prefer if they avoided doubling down on it.
well since it’s already live, and most players dislike queueing into tanks, most players would prefer if they avoided allowing tanks to infest games
per this op, we’re meant to believe that tanks are making some kind of comeback. would you prefer that were allowed to continue?

I just think it’d be better to reduce the effectiveness of defensives rather than outright apply a damage taken buff to the role in its entirety.
Not that it’s even what’s keeping tanks where they are.
Also confused as to what he meant by this.
I’ve seen 1 tank in weeks. I’m not seeing this “comeback” in arena but I am having fun as a FC doing bgs and stuff.
Maybe they can think of a way to make everyone happy but for the most part all they’ll worry about is the majority.
that wasn’t what you were asked, but it’s very cool of course
the realistic expectations are really limited to a fork in the road. the devs will do nothing, or they’ll twist the knife a little at the damage taken debuff where it was planted forever ago. it would be surprising for them to spring for any kind of new solution
Hmm. Maybe. I don’t imagine any of the specs are performing to the degree where they’d consider doing this with the exception of maybe guardian because evidently they sometimes tune around rbgs.
If anything I feel like they’d sooner reduce the debuff.
maybe gomachi didn’t mean “tank play rates are on the rise” here. or perhaps he’s just incorrect
Maybe he has just been bumping into BDKs in BGs or something.
Just a guess, though.

I actually posted this just prior to that funnily enough, but that wasn’t even my first double tank ten man that day. 
Well that just can’t be the case, I’m clearly always factually correct. Objectively, even.
Wait did tanks get buffed or somn?
I think he’s implying that next patch tank HP is increasing due to ilvl, but DPS will simultaneously not gain any primary or secondary stats from said ilvl?
Or he misplayed against a tank and would like a better guarantee that he doesn’t; I dunno.

Id rather tanks in arena than healers
People gettin ready for that Battleground Blitz
I’m not necessarily on team “nerf tanks”, but I am 100% on team “nerf guardian”.

Honestly I think I’m more tired of running into blood dks.
fox squad is a menace
At least when it is Kennie I’m like, “well, he’s a good player.”
But half the time it is like 1400 backpedalers and I’m like… yeah, this is a problem.
