So according to the Paladins Discord I'm apparently delusional for trying to say that point tanks shouldn't just face tank everything, and that Barik is actually good point AND off BOTH if you stop playing him like he's Inara.

What they don't realize is that THEY'RE the delusional ones with NO experience on the subject... I mean they say that damage doesn't matter for a tank, which is downright laughable. At that point you might as well say that Term and Inara are the only viable tanks in the game because their sustain is better and that's the only thing that matters... Also tried to argue about how useful Barik's jump actually is and it's apparently "bad". Lolwutno. Jump techs with Barik are pretty much ESSENTIAL to mastering the character. Also in the process of arguing about how he "does no damage" (lol he legit has the second best damage output of any tank in the entire game) they contradicted themselves saying he's "all damage" (which isn't true either, because he is top 3 in the CLASS when it comes to mobility, and his shield is STILL top half).

Like my goodness they can't have more than f***ing two functioning brain cells to argue what I've seen argued. All these morons ought to just stay on Reddit with the rest of their idiot kind. I mean if you think you know more about my main than I do you're probably wrong, considering I've beated Kresnik's (You know the player they think knows absolutely everything about the game) Barik TWICE with mine (actually a 2-0 record in fact, because I've played against it only twice), at least one of which was probably on his stream. And I've mained him since OPEN F***ING BETA. Arguing with these people is almost as bad as trying to reason with one particular toxic member of the forum that's since left.

It's like they think every point tank should be an Inara clone or else it's bad. F***ing cancerous pieces of $#!+ just exemplify how toxic the community actually is. These are the kinds of people that look at pro tierlists and think that means they know more than everyone else all of a sudden. Pro tierlists RARELY ever make any sense or jive with my experiences playing the game, even in Diamond+. Atlas is somehow better than half the tanks in the game when he's only situationally useful and he STILL has the worst tank ult in the entire game? Ok. And we'll trust these people with every judgment.

At least they aren't quite as bad as Bird's old tier lists, but they're still pretty ridiculous to me. It's almost like most high level players opinions... AREN'T FACTUAL! Who would have guessed? Anyone who isn't another Reddit level sheep?
