Tanks and Feast

[TiramisuMacaron]

Dear SE,

Please give tanks some love... Seriously. As a small lad, new to the Feast, I started playing as a Warrior. Starry eyed and full of dreams, I saw myself raise rapidly in the rankings. By the time I was gold I had a 77% winrate! "What a great life, I'll be Platinum in no time", I thought to myself... In the weeks to come, I learned just how wrong I was... Knowing my quest was fruitless, I switched to a class I haven't played WHM. I dropped a bunch of rating learning, gained it back, and finally attained Platinum, something that would not have been the case (without ratings inflating more) if I kept playing a tank.

Now as a healer, I let out a vocal sigh whenever the highest rated player on my team is a tank. I know what tanks can do in solo Feast, and they do not do enough to carry a team to victory. I actually don't have a great solution to this problem, the best I could think of is lowering melee damage and elevating tank damage to even out the 3 non-healing roles a bit more. I don't think that this is the best idea though, and I'm sure a ton of melee would get salty about the thought that their class wouldn't be able to carry as hard as before.

Honestly, if the matchmaking was better it wouldn't be as bad, but as it stands I believe having the highest or second highest ranked player on the team be a tank is a determent to said team winning the match.

Do tanks and other partakers of the Feast agree that tanks are the least powerful of roles in the Feast? Do you guys have a good idea on how to make it better? Is there a platinum tank on your data center right now, if so can you ask them how they feel about this?

Thanks~
