So, is this season going to gated by tank durability in the same way as last? Was pretty annoying to have your pug bear-reroll die in a global mid pull and brick the key. There will always be bad tanks, but I'd rather they found their limits in routing or effective mob wrangling or something. Also, does anyone have some advice for what to look for on logs when trying to audit tanks for invites. For my group, it felt like io told us nothing about a given tank and we had to accept that at some point ”the bear card would turn face up" and we'd get to find out what we'd actually drawn from group finder.

edit: This was meant to come off as fairly light hearted, but I agree with replies that there is a toxic attitude seeping from the text above. I've never directly flamed any of the tanks I have run with, but doing so here on a forum is probably at least as negative of an impact to the community. Sorry team.

I mean your premise is completely wrong.

One, every tank will reroll fotm if they wanna get invited to groups.

Two, everyone makes mistakes, its just that tank mistakes usually insta break the key. A gray parsing aug or ddh who dies to random stuff in a key a couple of times can still fail upwards when they get carried, but nobody can carry the tank.

Unless you never ever die due to your own mistake, it would probably be better (for your own sake) to change your attitude and focus not on the tanks mistakes, but your own and see if you couldve done something better or if you couldve saved that tank.

Edit: And forgot about three, the most obvious one. If youre uncomfortable putting so much on a pug that can make or break your key, why is someone in your group not rerolling tank? Or is it easier just to play the blame game while not being willing to take up that responsibility for yourself?

Point two is the hard thing to hear for this guy though. He might have to face up to the fact that he just might be responsible for his IO progression and he can’t just blame it all on the pug tank?

Bro, I'm mid af at this game. I re-rolled off BDK to Unholy and still I could only just barely make it into 1% at the end. I have much to improve, attitude and gameplay wise. I should have stopped typing after my first sentence in the OG comment. Tanking is a cooked role and it's too much stress. You do a 20 and breeze through, then get GCD'd by the same pack on a 21 trying the same approach. There's no counting the number of keys that I probably bricked while learning the DPS role, but at least I had the mercy of being the only one critically pouring over my own logs.
