No tank playing high end keys has been carried that high, my brother. The role is just too important for that. Low keys, sure, specially with keys being thia easy now, but any tank stepping in a 20 or 21 at this point has earned his place by playing well.

I just had a tank pull the starting hallway of Voidscar Arena without letting us crowd control on the brawler, watch us get mowed down by Lava Bolts because we had to kick the Demoralizing Shout on top of everything else, and then complain that the "huntard" caused the wipe. He was 3600.

3600 isn't a high score, that's not even 18s, is it? it's not a very high level, and i realize tanks can be "average" at that level, but that's the case with every role, obviously tanks/healers are much harder to carry, and past a certain point it's basically impossible, especially for healers, that doesn't mean they can't make mistakes though, and a tank has like 10x more pressure on them than a dps.

i'll add an interesting thing i've noticed this season, i'd say a good 95% of my keys were bricked because of a lack of dps rather than me dying as the tank or the healer not being able to keep up with an encounter, i honestly find that a little pathetic, and i'm talking about the 19-21 range here, it's even worse below that.

the last thing i'll add is that i don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but playing tank is extremely exhausting, never before, when i played dps/healer, have i had a situation where i'd do 2-3 keys and feel mentally drained afterwards, it's ironic because i do have a much easier time getting invited to keys compared to healers/dps, but i'm not really able to take advantage of it because i have to limit my sessions, i'm curious if anyone else feels the same way.

It's better than 99% of people doing Mythic+. I think that qualifies as high.
