Did they have plans for defense?

Meaning did they plan on adding to this role? it feels & looks limiting in comparison to the other 3 roles. I know there are different team compositions, but on multiple defend scenarios not seeing a defense character isn't a problem?

Hey there, the icons are really just for new players. It’s meant to be a quick but of info to give context to what would otherwise just be a big list. For more insight I think Jeff talked about it in this video with Wired .

Cheers.

I did not expect that Bill come here to answer. It is like asking a question about Ready Player One in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard and Steven Spielberg comes and answer personally.

I read /new quite a bit. I do love the first page, there's great stuff there, but /new often has questions from newer players that don't get a lot of attention or reports of problems that may not get enough traction to hit front page.

Cheers!
