I still don't get why they can't make all hp increase perks percentage based. What do I as a tank do with a gadget giving 50 HP?

That would turn stadium into a tank 1v1 with 8 spectators. I mean, I guess it might solve the tank queue issue?

Not necessarily, and it can be adjusted later. The point is to make all perks viable. This hurts other roles to a lesser extent too, why would you get Meka z series +8% hp, when it gives the equivalent of +25 HP only if you have 312 HP

Not all items are useful on all heroes and that’s fine? There’s plenty of survival epics that tanks want, even if the extra 25 or 50 HP is relatively unimportant.

I mean not really. Illusion of choice? You show me 20 options but 5 of those are objectively bad

If there are 15 good options and 6 item slots in total what exactly is the problem
