Homogenization and Simplicity in Tank Roles

[Kaixern]

Whenever it's about tanks or healer, i don't have that much faith for the future unfortunately.

There are only two main points which are being constantly focused nowadays on those roles (from what i've seen) :

And it's either, do the visuals of the class look nice and is it effective/viable (which are of course important).
But when it comes to the gameplay, the fun, the synergy, the depth, this either doesn't exist or just keep getting erased (just my view).

At first sight it would seem like everyone here is pessimistic/negative or whatever on the subject, but in the end it's just people (tank and healers mains for the most part) that are used to the state of those roles, and rather that pretending it's okay, be honest with it.

I'm sure even if SE cuts more of the gameplay and identity of the classes people will still play those and say they are good, but for those informations related to homogenization, as stated higher in the posts, we will maybe have to wait the media tour.

(But honestly please stop butchering those classes, i view myself as a casual and i still like depth and complexity, i don't want to keep bashing my head on the keyboard, or having to go for high parse runs in order to expect maybe having fun with my class, it's the equivalent of the meme saying "after 100 hours of playing the story it gets better". The classes should be fun and interesting to play from the start, as well as the joy from discovering all the gameplay subtilities from them in the long run, but as i said before, only my opinion, and sorry for the slight post deviation)
