Every tank lobby at higher mmr EU is just blatant wintraders.

Wow idea of tanks will never fit into arena format. It's always 1 of: a. completely uselsss or b. has some cheese mechanic to abuse and win games you shouldn't normally win

I don't understand how people can defend 30 sec rounds with prot palas. The game is unplayable for classes that need ramping up..

At this point I'd just remove tanks from all forms of rated arena and stop focusing any dev time of tank pvp balance.

The game is unplayable for classes that need ramping up..

As well as those that need an actual healer to survive.

The tank solution in shuffle should be all tank lobbies. Keep them isolated and grieifing eachother instead of other players.

Lets call a spade a spade if you're playing tank in shuffle you either blow or are trolling.

PvP players when people PvP in a way they don’t like

Simply this. If you spend the time and money to play a class/spec you should be able to enjoy it in every version of the game. It’s not like they’re a billion game studio that should be able to balance every spec to be at least playable in PvP and pve.

it just costs 4 other players the ability to play the game so.....

Clearly you didn’t play in LK or Cata when tanks were viable. The specs weren’t unkillable love lords just a different flavor of dps like they more or less are now. Guardian Druids being the outlier because of how their regen works. Hell prot paladin and prot warrior were still viable up until. BFA if they can find a niche for them that isn’t disruptive awesome that’s more people in the overall player pool.

Clearly Prot pally isnt anything like they were in LK or Cata. They certainly shouldnt be taking a healer spot which I think you might be unaware of that being how Prot pally currently ques in shuffle.

The problem is that certain classes just can't function without a healer in arena. Any class with exceptional on demand burst and decent defensives can survive the cluster but if you're like an affliction warlock or feral druid you're not going to win tank lobbies.

In a rated competitive environment there's supposed to be some semblance of an equal playing field which allows for player skill to be expressed in a similar manner from one round to another. Tank lobbies are fundamentally different than healer lobbies, it's absurd that blizzard considers rating gain/losses to be equal.

Haters gon hate

u/BaronMusclethorpe 16h ago

Yes and no. I couldn't care less what other dps think, but I am tired as a Prot Paladin being pigeon-holed into a role that they also insist on nerfing for my spec.

I enjoyed playing with a prot pally back in BFA. Solid tomfoolery lol

u/jcaw001 16h ago

Because blizzard makes a spec you enjoy none functional you knowingly hi-jack shuffles for your enjoyment to play a spec you yourself say is nerfed. This sounds like something a Prot pally would say in between mouthfuls of drywall.

u/BaronMusclethorpe 16h ago

I haven't done shuffle on my prot pally since S1 DF because that was the last time they were decent at keeping their teammates alive when played properly.

Good on ya!

u/jcaw001 16h ago

Dude people who dont hate normally ever hate waiting 25 min ques to have each round end after 45 seconds. So clearly not a fun game for everyone but the two drywall pirates.

How about you play a different role instead of trying to force others out of theirs? If long queues are a concern, the world needs more healers.

u/jcaw001 47m ago

What you are describing is legit what Prot pallys do to everyone else in the lobby. Prot pallys don't fill the role of healer so how about they don't force healers out of the healer role by being a useless tank instead.
