Reasonable buff to war

[Izsha]

"Minor complaints" maybe you should go look at the tank damage forum. There is a giant complaint of how tanks got gutted with their importance and dumbed down between expansions for no reason. Healers got his treatment but did SE fix them? For the most part yes, relatively quickly, so why didn't tanks at least get mentioned they will look into???

WAR is not in a good spot, no one is saying that who looks at basic data. WAR is the least played tank by a country mile while all the others are relatively close in play percentage. DRK have valid complaints, but WAR has massive problems too stemming from the whole rework they did to WAR in SB (Which was a bad idea). WAR is supposed to be the sustain tank, but that means nothing when every fight you need to tank swap resulting in long periods of time where you are not using your strengths while other tanks bring better party or damage than you. Then WAR complete kit got screw balled this expansion by being gutted and then left with a shell of a job with just IR and fell cleave spam which results in one of the worst feeling tanks to play in the game. Balance means nothing if you aren't having fun, and the community is basically saying "we are not having fun with WAR".

Again, as I said, the only complaints are largely subjective stuff about fun and 'clunk'. You speak as if there is a consensus mandate from the people on these issues. There isnt. Objectively (as you pointed out and I have said) tanks are balanced. 'Wars not fun' is an opinion that is not shared by everyone so why would SE hop too on a mixed bag of opinions? Really? If drk has taught us anything its that you cant make everyone happy by reworking a job. There are people that will not he happy until its HW drk again. Others who liked SB Drk and some that like ShB drk now and people that hated each version as well.

So who's 'fun's should SE fix drk for? Who's 'fun' should they overhaul warrior for? Yours? I'm sure you would like that. I really like drk right now and wish they reverted war to 4.0 war with separate zerk or windows. But there are people that love war today and hate drk today. But apparently SE is supposed to jump on drk/war overhauls because SOME people dont like it. Sorry, that's not a realistic expectation. If people are going to start riots when there are very few and small objective problems, then that's uncalled for. If people start riots because of differences of subjective opinion demanding SE cater to group A over group B, that's also unfair. In either case, these strong reactions are overblown.


Edit: and before someone brings up playrates again for the umpteenth time, I've posted on that a half dozen times. I'll just dig that up and paste it later.
