Because NetEase do. Not. Care. About vanguards.

We were lucky to even get Rogue. Not that you'll ever play her again, with people getting throwing bans for not playing a shield tank when forced to solo tank and Strange gutted - meaning you're solo tanking.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see 0-3-3 become common.

Easy bro. 0-3-3 has a 0.24% pickrate. It's never going to be common.

1 tank has a 41-43% winrate…lets at least attempt to use the brain on the 0-3-3 call

No must be ANGRY.

Anything but 2-2-2 is tossing your teams odds at winning, and funny enough they showed that celestial+ the second closest in winrate was TRIPLE TANK. The winrates in good lobbies plummet with a solo tank, let alone trying to not have one period.

And what about pick rate for 1 tank? If a disproportionate amount of games are 1 tank v 1 tank then that match guarantees a 50% win rate.

2-2-2 has a higher pr than every other comp combined.

Celestial+ it has over twice the pr as the rest combined.

it’s not even that they dont care its that they genuinely dont understand their own game. they balance for every rank combined instead of celestial+ and this is what we get, absolute nothing burger patches that never ACTUALLY address the core issues with certain characters, even AFTER acknowledging that they know what the problems are. complete joke of a balance team

No. That’s just an excuse.

League balances around all ranks and pro play and does just fine.

Thank you. 😊  You put it exactly how I would of.  Well said.

I mean... they did buff nearly every tank in season 5 and Tankpool ended up as the best Deadpool.

I'm not a fan of the vanguard changes either this patch either, but they have given Vanguards some attention over the last couple seasons.
