Since I was talking about meta comps for speedrunning (just as an example) I'm of course talking about optimized play. If you just play all tanks at a very basic "just keep pressing buttons" kind of level they're not only similar but you're most likely gonna see better performance on warrior than on all the others, because there are fewer parts to warrior that one could mess up.
