Mighty Guard really ups BLU's defense but you're still working with a caster's health pool. And that's besides Mighty Guard mutilating your damage if you use it, part of why 1000 was as good as it was for so long - it's flat damage, not potency based, Mighty Guard doesn't tickle it.
But good luck getting Shiva's skill solo when you're absolutely not going to survive her shared damage sword buster.
Mighty Guard needs it's numbers switched. 40% damage outgoing damage reduced and 70% damage reduction. Instead of the 70/40 ratio they are running.

If they really are all for making BLU a Solo job.
