Ive grown accustomed to people running defenders the past couple of days. Its real shit at first esp when you are unfamiliar with the new patch. That said however, with the prevalence of armor this patch i still lean slightly towards defenders being unhealthy for the metagame. If you want to deal with engines specifically you are almost required to run a hard counter to defenders. This can be quite overcentralising on the meta, if one card causes an entire meta to adapt to deal with it specifically i dont think its good for the game. Regardless of what it is. I will play more before coming to a final conclusion though. This patch has so far been really fun.
