It's inexcusable and "slightly better" isn't slightly better to me. I'll admit that some of my statements are slightly erroneous but just saying 'hey it's slightly less than dog shit now' isn't something that should even be uttered from people's mouths.
I'm not saying that Paladins should be pleased with that. I'm just saying that the Shield Swipe change is a buff, that's all. Yeah they need more, a lot more, but it's not because they need more that this change is negative. It's still an increase in performance at some degree. Actually I think that tank changes are gonna come in 3.2. Yoshi stated in the last interview that he wants to alleviate the differences between tanks in terms of weaknesses and strengths in order to prevent one from being almost excluded from raid content like PLD is right now or like WAR was in 2.0. We also know that they want to change the encounter design, they'll also change the damage calculation for tanks, and the accessories are gonna be reworked (they said that the new raid and token accessories from 3.2 will be much more powerful than now). The meta might change a lot in 3.2, they can't do anything to change the meta in 3.1 because it doesn't bring a new raid tier, it just adds more side content to the already established 3.0 meta.

I don't know where you saw that PLD is being mocked since 2.1... Until 2.55 it was the most popular MT and everyone loved it. PLD's fall started with 3.0 and will hopefully for all PLD mains end in 3.2 with the release of the next raid tier.
