Thank you SE

Again, wait for Tuesday because we have no idea what the changes will be. It's just too early for any kind of feedback on changes that don't even exist yet.

But yeah, if 4.05 rolls around and DRK/PLD isn't at least equal to any comp including a WAR, some people at SE most definitely need to lose their jobs.

That's really all there is to it. That's basically the standard for tank balance coming out of HW. DRK+PLD needs to be desirable.

As a WAR main, I completely agree. I want to see every combination viable, preferably having different combinations best on different fights to ensure there is no "guaranteed" spot. Im sick of the stale "only this comp pls" mentality.

Yeah people should lose their jobs, because of fucking tank balance. This fucking community man. I get that you were probably being somewhat facetious, but even still.

Actually, I'm quite serious.

I mean, if you have somebody working under you that makes the exact same mistake over and over again and you don't remove them from that job, then honestly it's your failure, not theirs. They're just trying their best to do the job that you're assigned to them and they don't get to tell you you're doing a bad job by assigning them that task because you're the boss.

If WAR is a lock again, that means they've made the exact same mistake 6 times in a row including after a very expensive major rework; leaving them to that task expecting them to get it right the 7th time is a monumental failure of management. In fact, it's delusion. Not only will they not get it right, they're guaranteed to just get it wrong exactly the same way again. The only reasonable decision is to reallocate your resources and remove those people from a task they're just incapable of and put them to a task they are able to do and bring in somebody else to do the first task who is capable of it. That's how you manage human resources, it's no different for your stockholders from making sure you budget for enough electricity to keep the servers running.

FWIW actually firing people is quite rare in Japanese culture. Toyota is a great example of this management culture, they hold on to employees even when they can't really afford them and will even pay for random retraining. It works out for Toyota too because their employees are less inclined to unionize. Usually people are simply reassigned. If somebody is truly incapable they're "reassigned" to just sit there and not get in anybody's way, but that would be if they've already failed at everything else. I would hope that SE isn't assigning the people who have already failed at everything else to tank balance after 2 years of promising us they'd get it right in SB!

Again though, wait for Tuesday. For all we know they've done a perfect job. When they discarded tank balance for an entire expansion with promises that it would be fixed in this one, they sure better have.
