No more tanks just damage control and support now**

What makes you say that?
Well because tank is not a good role but damage control and support are all good roles
Well then maybe that’s a reason to create more Tanks. To put them back on par with the other roles.

It is perblue decision if new heroes are tank or other roles
Exactly… which makes your post kind of redundant

Slinky dog you right about one thing
Tank should be in par with other roles but I don’t know how long another tank hero will come
Maybe this summer or 4 anniversary
What no not redundant I make a point
You made a point which you immediately contradicted by saying it’s up to PerBlue.

No I am saying that being patient for tanks will make them come in
This topic is not necessary because another topic was made recently discussing this issue regarding the lack of tanks
I’m pretty sure this topic was made just to copy that other thread

What was the purpose/point here.
To make sure that tank is not coming
All roles are vital, also Tanks.
While this is for normal RPGs and especially turn-based JRPGs, the Holy Trinity is vital as in having 1 Tank, 1 Damager and 1 Healer. The cornerstone of RPGs, especially Turn-Based RPGs and MMORPGs.
What PerBlue likely needs to do is that the new Tanks have enough survivability to be usable long term, and preferability have a decent amount of Utility.
The Tanks lately haven’t been as good as they should have been to truly affect the Meta, but back in the day Clawhauser was a meta character and before that Maximus.
The difference now is that Meg while Supporter act as a Tank for the front most character(auto) or the selected character(manual), so it isn’t like the Tank role has no place and it is still really vital, but lately been preformed by Meg due to the Shank disk.
That doesn’t mean the importance of the Tank is gone, preventing the otherwise front Damager from being Crowd Controlled is good, espcially if the Damager has a chance of being Charmed and as such damage their own team. True that some characters have Hardy and can prevent the Charm or have Mad Hatter at Max Red skill, but it doesn’t mean that there can’t be a time having a good Tank is beneficial.
Things to think about :-).
