You know why people don’t play order tanks?
It’s because they realize their mirrors are that much better.

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
Kotbs are better than chosen... but chosen look cooler
Bork is slightly better than SM... but SM is still pretty good just looks ugly AF
Ironbreaker as now been buffed and more useful and BG is also useful ... but IB skins could be alot better
Visually Destro tanks are superior... mechanically its pretty balanced
Destro melee dps also look better than order mdps, and also the models are bigger so its more imposing than midgets and skinny dudes. That is the main difference really.
People don't play tanks, because they don't appreciate what they bring and want the "glory" of dps and kills... there is no "damage taken, damage mitigated, guard dmg stats on sc's" just damage dealt/healed ... maybe if there was a option to track that and give tanks their due.
Tanks are one of the better balanced archtypes... compared to dps.

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
I agree the helmets are hideous, but overall it isn't that bad. I just hide the helmet and cloak, which helps off-set the poor gear designs. Nothing to be done about the dress...

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
I read most of your post and a bit of the replys. I have played ror for almost a year mostly on order and a bit of destro. Order is like 75% at least pug players just having fun. Yes order seriously lacks tanks and healers. Order is outnumbered most of the time and it has been that way the whole entire almost year I have played. Order sometimes has the zerg when enough destro get bored of running us over at the same time. Order isn't even really a side anymore as a lot of times half our wbs are full of like lvl 25s that are tired of zerging on destro. Nobody cares at all about city or trying to defend or anything else.
Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
I'm really curious where does this "Order tanks don't look good" perception bias come from... in my opinion they look really great, are patterned according to WFB miniatures and conform to the lore... are these outlook grievances only because the gear outlook, or the models?
Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
I guess we found those 2-3 destro warbands that lose on every city while their faction dominates.
If destros issue is WL's on city then sorry to say that but you lose and you dont even know why . its not only that order are making bad warbands and getting rekt or been organised at all the same happens to destro to a lesser extend but i guess you are the unlucky that got the OP 6 WL order premade and rolled over you.
Mara and WL should had identical aoe now since they revert the buff so if WL can top the meter then Mara can do the same.
Also how about to post some screenshots of WL topping meters on organised vs organised WB and then lets see far ahead a mara is

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
The Look is an important factor and Destro wins by far.
Since most of the tanks want to do dps you have to add the damage in comparison too and with that Chosen is better than Kotbs. Kotbs damage is just awful.
If you want to play a 2h tank than Destro tanks are generally better in my opinion. SM is good though

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
I think if IB looked more like bardin from Vermintide 2... or have nice hammerer skins
if elves had more mithril / chain mail esq armour instead of a dress on tank... the fact you hide as much skins as you can says alot about their appeal
Even kotbs armour could be a bit more impressive and bulky/heavy plate
This would help a little to improve the appeal of order tanks which is a long standing problem. Mechanically they are sound.

Knights Panther or Black Knights of Morr armor skins would help give knights more Gothic looking plate rather than the renaissance plate that the KotBS have.Wam wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:16 amI think if IB looked more like bardin from Vermintide 2... or have nice hammerer skins

Re: Percieved Bias and Game Balancing
This is probably the bigger issue, tanks looking for dps. That’s not the tanks things to do. Tanks dps is just a bonus everything else matters. Damage reduction, guard ... reducing damage is not only a snb thing.gandresch wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 7:54 am The Look is an important factor and Destro wins by far.
