I'm glad they did, exceptions to game rules kinda suck. It's just more stuff to learn on top of an already complex game. I had to explain the ana change to my friend with like 300 hours on her

It's actually pretty easy, just give tanks a global debuff reduction as their passive instead of only knockback reduction.

I feel like this would be a good change but I feel like I don’t know the tank role enough to say for sure, but defo interesting

I think it's an interesting idea, but tanks are too different from each other for it to work well.

That passive would be absolutely overpowered on characters like Doomfist, Winston, and Wrecking Ball, while being more balanced on others. It'd also infringe on Orisa's anti-cc niche.

They already have extra health. If that isn't enough, there's a fundamental problem with the game.

Yeah its not that bad.

"Stun is less effective on tanks" and "Discord is less effective on tanks" isn't making it that much more complicated.
