Solid point on the tank rework parallel—that curve shift really is the crux. Do you think the flatline hurt spectator readability too, or mostly the players trying to execute?
The flatline curve shift's impact on readability is a mixed bag - it's not just about players executing, but also about spectators adjusting to a new threat assessment timeline. Think back to Overwatch's D.Va rework, where her shield's damage window was lengthened – teams adapted, but the meta took time to normalize.
