Protection + Healing immunity
I was looking forward to this patch in the hopes that it would fix the glaring problem of tanks not being able to tank properly and healing being somewhat trivial. After a few days, I've come to the c...

Increasing HP would have made healing OP.
No because we didn't need a huge HP increase, and nobody was using healers in Arena anyway.
Also, current mechanic means healers can only heal a char when below 50%. To make use of the full heal potential now a char needs to be 25% of total original HP + Protection....meanwhile you hit like a wet noodle.
Bad mechanic
The OP specifically stated ' Increase the health pools and effectiveness of armor was the answer'.
This is my response to a guild mate last night regarding what would have happened if instead of protection it was an increase to HP.
'At level 80 Lumi will have her heal reduced down to a three turn cool down.
She will have 14509 hp and 13841 protection. If they had of added it all together she would have had 28350 health. Healing for 12756k every three turns with an additional 5620 heal at the start of their next two turns.
Sorry, but that is completely OP.'
Fortitude should not be equal to 90-110% of a hero's health. It should be equal to 25-75% depending on the hero. E.G. 25% for Rey, 75% for Boba Fett.
What an obtuse argument, you don't have to raise HP by so much that it makes healing OP. Nobody is saying we should have matched the exact same numbers as they added with protection, that's absurd to insinuate they would be beholden to a certain value. You have every number from a 1% increase on up to play with, it's all math. With healing immunity, ability block, and stun readily available, people can't beat you with healing unless you let them. You can debuff her regen..you could always..focus the healer if it's giving you trouble, bring healers yourself..etc etc. There are plenty of counters to healing. Given the fact that you can burst people down between healer's turns without any of those options, this really turns into a complete nonsense argument. My IG86 crits for 12k with offense up at only 73 and not full gear, so even those estimated values aren't OP. "Nobody using healers in arena" is exactly the problem. You have 3 main mechanics, tanking, healing, dps. And if no one is even using healing because it's worthless in arena? You have a MAJOR problem with your base mechanics. And just for the sake of argument, say that increasing HP pools and armor value made healing overpowered...they could always just...lower the numerical values of healing O.o
