Why having a dedicated MT and dedicated OT is a TERRIBLE idea

[shao32]

But if they just do something like that, then it'll just be down to the best pair of Tanks being the meta and the other 2 being unwanted.

Literally, if they just added "Unstackable mandatory stuff" to both the "MT" and "OT" pair to force a "MT + OT" duo always (Which, no doubt, people would find a way to cheese to not be the case) without addressing core balance issues which have already been the driving force behind the WAR + PLD meta, then what's to stop the meta in the future simply continuing to be WAR + PLD because they're "MT + OT" jobs so bring their "Mandatory" role stuff but also have their individual skills that make them superior to other choices for these roles (I.e. WAR having Holmgang which is better than LD and PLD having Cover and Intervention which is better than all the support skills that WAR and DRK have combined (Because they barely have any... DRK merely has TBN and WAR has SiO))

there is nothing that stop having 2 tanks being meta and the other 2 crying in a corner, this will happen much more often with the current tank status, its happening right now with DRK, you just will add GUN to the list of the posible 2 most unwanted tanks.

the diference of 4 multipurpose tanks with no limitation of any kind vs 2 couples of tanks that are forced to play "MT-OT" roles is for the first ones if 2 tanks are just worse you have to give buffs-nerfs with having all tanks in mind basing the balance with all of then at the same time vs ¿PLD and WAR are to strong? ok then i will just buff DRK only against PLD and GUN only against WAR making dev job much more easy and straightforward since they will balance tanks capabilitys with the fact you will always bring a MT and OT, they will not care what PLD or DRK do when they buff GUN since you will always bring 1 of then in combat.

idk you but for me its pretty clear, adding GUN and don't add something like this will make tank status be like HW and SB but worse bcs we are going to be more, a complety knigthmare even harder to balance, and this will just make 1 MT will sinergy pretty well with 2 tanks (OT) and you have to keep a balance against the other MT to make both equally relevant.
