FYI, losing a game is rarely the tank’s fault.
Losing is usually because:
Blood DKs are my only complaint.
Only because Im prone to being kidnapped 
That bomb guy reported the rogue for telling the truth. I was there. You remember me MR.PROT Warr? I would love for tanks to join games and LISTEN TO STRATS. you arent in control anymore this aint a dungeon.
You are part of a team. If the team says SIT A BASE, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST BASE SITTER CURRENTLY IN THE TEAM
dont say “no i rather team fight” and force (ME) an ele sham to sit a base and you go off and 1v1 and lose and cause our team to lose. At the end of the match we had atleast 3 people in chat arguing with you telling you to stop queing
Abombshield/Abomanation learn to play the game better, THEN play prot. You can’t be a new player who is selfish AND be a prot player at the same time. You’re gonna have a bad time.
The truth hurts but everyone would love prot players if you guys didnt suffer from main character syndrome
Thank you for this demonstration.
No, you actually don’t have free speech in WoW, and you agreed to a CoC where you said you’d explicitly not do that. No one is tattling on you because you’re a pain to be around.
What a totally normal and hinged thing to say…
Basically outside of druid a tank is utterly useless in a pvp setting. They are usually more brittle then their dps counter parts and cant dish out dmg.
Nope sure don’t. However I don’t remember players with bad strats that argue. I just move on. Since they plan on losing instead of listening.
Also another sock puppet account 10 post. You guys coming out of the wood work to troll and shows the issue with the community validating the thread. Learn to be better people and players.
Yes the truth hurts and Tanks are the foundation of PvP and ALL PvP should be balanced around them. It’s brings me satisfaction to own it up as Prot and help more players play Prot and Tanks in PvP.
Maybe some day if you are skilled enough and up to it. You can play a Tank in PvP.
So what you’re really saying here is that Blizz should fix things (a buff here, a debuff there) so that Tanks can function as they should in PvP.
Of course Tanks are hated, they, especially Prot War, absolutely trash all hunter specs (which are basically at least 35% of every BG) and all melees specs.
I’m having a good time with my Prot war.
“I don’t like you.
You shouldn’t be able to talk.”
Thank you for this demonstration.
Anyone care to drive my point home more?
People such as this need to be kept from power.
Actually won this one once. 1-0 and it was a sweatfest.
brother when i met u in that match u were like 1700 and i was like 2300cr lol u made us lose on purpose and everyone on the team was mad at u
Guardian Druid is being placed fairly low on Solo BG tier lists due to survivability and self healing nerfs. Higher than Guardian Druid on the tier list was Prot Warrior, Blood DK, and BM Monk. Only Prot Paladin was placed lower than Guardian I think. They mentioned that was due to Protection Paladins problem staying alive in a stun, no invisibility, no MS, and recently pvp nerfed healing when its pve healing isnt that great now either. Divine Protection being buffed in 11.5 may help a bit with the dying in a stun. BM Monk and BDK have great self healing and BM Monk and Prot Warrior are fairly mobile. Prot Warrior having strong group utility helps it score high on PVP tier lists.
Not really no… issue then is you have a player who cant die and it causes a whole host of other issues…
Easy solution is to bar tank specs from pvp. Other option is to retool them into dps specs and strip out most defensives
I’m not asking to make it so that I can’t die.
I’m fine with dying. Just make it balanced.
You can’t really… least not with how force multiplication works. Tanks as tanks are the healthiest they have ever been with how pvp is balanced. There kits just don’t function in wows pvp system.
The question is how do you make tanks balanced for PvP in a way that doesn’t ruin PvP for everyone else?
What is their role in PvP? Should they be pseudo-DPS?
Balanced for 3s? Balanced for RSS? Balanced for BGB?
Tanks are basically Dps but the main support Class for Healers/Dps. Their strengths should be team fights. Where they have more control than Dps/Healers. They debuff enemies and buff your team. Tanks are supposed to control the battlefield so your team has the ability to perform their Dps/Healing roles better.
