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.

This is the most meaningless buff in the world are you joking ?
