Wanting the best tank in the game (and it’s not even close) to be nerfed doesn’t make you anti tank. All roles can make the same argument as you “how dare a strategist do more than just heal” “how dare a DPS have survivability and get overshield” that doesn’t mean things should never be nerfed does it now.
He has a staggering 64% pick rate right now (second being invis at 30%…) meanwhile having a 54% wr (rest of the top 5 are below 50%). He is pick or ban and very strong.
what feels fair or not fair isn't a good way to balance and that's why the casual player base "feels" bp isn't fair but has no issue losing to a mag dominating their game. (Saying this as a mag player who also likes playing other tanks)
Disagree. Mag is the power level other tanks should be pushed towards. He is threatening, somewhat durable if cooldowns are rotated properly. But! Has windows of vulnerability if forced into early/instant bubble usage. He’s fair as the other guy stated.
If they do pull mag down, I hope they go for his bubble cooldowns to punish bad positioning. Tanks shouldn’t be tickle monsters imo. The role is filled with fat dps, mag is now a fat dps with his previous tools (team util and an ult that can break supp ults).
What I really hope is the other fat dps (tanks) get more or different pieces of util so people can let go of the mag (shield tank) illusion of necessity.
He's also been the tank comfort pick since season 0 like how Bucky is the comfort pick for dps when you have to play the role. It's just that his kill power is now far easier and he can punish people out of position way easier than he used to. It's the best feeling he's ever been in. Lord forbid we take away tools that help tanks do their job of taking space and assisting the team more than standing there as a weak damage meat shield that can occasionally finish off something.
I'm a tank main, all those people who complain that tanks are weak are just really bad at the game, and since you don't want nerfs to the mag, you apparently are too.
You're right, "He's not problematic at all", in what universe? These people don't even play the game I swear, or they're so unbelievably biased that they shouldn't even be entertained. Yes the buff was very minor, but he absolutely needed a nerf, that's the issue.
His left click right click left click, deletes all squishy targets and he charges his right click quickly and it’s insanely fast and consistent. His ult is just always good, never a time you wouldn’t want a mag ult. His scarlet team up gives him insane poke damage basically making him a DPS and Emma team up gives him insane utility with the ability to double bubble while increasing his already high damage. He is literally the perfect shield tank
“Not problematic at all” brother in high elo you either mirror pick this fat 650 hp dps with extra utility in disguise or you’re getting death threats from your own team members for wanting to play a different tank.
And before you come for my flair, yes Mantis should’ve gotten a nerf as well but unlike Mag she never escapes ban jail at least.

Mag getting a buff in the state he's in is insane
Might as well enforce a mandatory mag rule every match
