The problem with having “Tank” as a class name

Shoximity

Hello all, I believe this discussion may have come up before, but I really would like Steven and friends to reconsider the name “Tank”. Overall, they have done a good job at naming the other classes and subclasses, but they ruin the immersion of the game by using the class name “tank”. Tank was a code name given to military vehicles being created in 1915. It has been a slang term for classes and archetypes in many video games given to the role that is used to absorb/mitigate or “tank” damage. Having a class name feels very uncharacteristic compared to the other class names. It’s like naming your cat “Cat”. It’s cute and punny, but is that what they really want for their game? What class do you play? Oh, I play a tank! Yea, but like what class? TANK!! *insert meme of a tank with a face on it... drooling*

I'm not the one trying to change a class name so it not on my but on you to prove your claim.

I did not make a claim to prove or for you to disprove. I told you I think it is reasonable to assume, based on the quantity of complaints that whatever percentage of people that would like to see the name changed, that quantity is very likely to not be insignificant.

Why do you think this is a statement of fact that requires proof for validity? It's an educated guess of mine at best.

It's like you're showing someone a container of jelly beans, asking how many are green, and they go "I don't know. I saw quite a few, seemed like a decent amount? Less than half probably, but there were plenty in there." And you go "You don't have proof!"
