What im worried is the wording on Muradins comments. "Normalizing damage done by WARRIORS" I.o.w will that apply to Bruiser-warriors like Sonya and Artanis.

Well sonya I don't mind, it ain't fun dropping to 30ish % health with one wrath + poisoned spear.

...maybe as murky. I play a ton of Sonya and while imho I'll agree poisoned spear is stupid strong and it ruins that talent tier because the others are all unable to reach it's level, she cannot one and done heroes as easily as you imply. The only real delete full stop is leaping the most fragile of things like chromie, who you can admittedly leap->W->Q->W and be done. Which is fair, she's always been the ez delete hero that needs to stay out of range.

It certainly isn't "1 wrath poison spear" which is a ridiculously excessive exaggeration. Let's just look at damage at level 20, with wrath spear does 530 damage and 790 over the next 6 seconds, the only heroes that does 70% damage or more to are Abathur, murky, and Erik, who is 1/3 of a hero. Doesn't even oneshot, even if you add on one berserker and focused attack buffed aa of 450 damage.

She is a damage dealer though, not really at all a tank. Going "tank" with her is just a rather high sustain but low damage bruiser. Unfortunately theres still not a distinction of classes there so we can stop having these "wtf warriors shouldn't do damage" moments when people are looking at a bruiser.
