So instead of buffing "Enraged Defenses" which is a cheap off brand compare to merc's kolto overload, you guys took away veng's aoe passive? Instead of making "saber reflect" able to deflect all types of single attacks, unlike the merc's reflect bubble that can deflect everything without a cap and heal nonetheless. You guys make a utility that basically gives us the same passive we were already getting? Awhile not adding any additional effects beside 30% DR for tanks (why not for all specs?). So now we have to give up a utility for something we already had awhile still being squishy in 4v4 rank matches? Let me tell you what happens to dps jug in rank matches coming from someone who main it this season and was able to get top 5 as well. If you dare initiate the charge you will get stun lock, follow with 2 choices of either breaking, at the risk getting cc again and poping few dcds or tank it out with "enraged defenses" that literally last for 3 second and barely recover any damage with it piss poor scaling in power. Then you can get netted awhile reaolve is full, so good luck kiting or dealing any damage awhile getting annihilated. It's just sad i had my hopes up for 5.5 and 5.6 with the talk of dps/utility changes. Should of known better than believing in Biofail.

 

P.S Merc's and snipers are still going be the best classes in the game when it comes to pvp , this barely put a dent in their classes.

Some of my utility ideas, basically the jug is suppose to be able to face tank damage and not die under 20 seconds. How much survivability merc have shpuld be same as jugs imo.

While I am a bit disappointed with the changes as well, I would assume that they don't want anyone having the survivability mercs currently do. I happen to think that the guardian/juggernaut concept should be more face tanking capable than a merc or sniper. But then, fundamentally, that's a mere guardians opinion.
