But I lost some fights naturally and it seemed to lower the difficulty of opponents somewhat, after a couple skips. I'm tempted to just stick with using 2* chars in pvp. The 3* fights take longer to fight and heal (6+ hours!!!), not to mention getting exponentially harder opponents. At least my 2*'s can heal, kill and move along at a good pace, losing a few here and there to keep the 141's from showing up.

Active tanking removal was first seen on Tuesday at the start of the LRs. The Season 1 Simulator lost active tanking sometime on Friday.

E.g. we taught grael23 to tank for LRs, he had a week or more of amazing loot, then LR tokens got nerfed to oblivion. Then Ghast taught us all to tank our MMR while also making ISO. Tanking gets nerfed. Not to mention how Venom healing in prologue was nerfed (that happened quite some time ago) after everyone and their dog stated how awesome it is for anyone without a Spidey. Can't think of more examples but there are plenty more. The devs do follow the forums, but seemingly not the threads we'd like
