I understand the issue with his tangibly violent/physical abilities (coupled with his lore/theme) dealing magic damage. My point is I'd prefer Ali to do well in game rather than have his kit "make sense". Messing with ratio's wouldn't negatively affect him (i.e adding ad or hp ratio's) but messing with the the type of damage his spells do would hurt more than help imo, if imo is necessary to type.

I can't think of 1 tank that doesn't have a significant source of magic damage built in to their kit, there's a reason for that and it's not due to their theme. Ali's magic, and overall, damage output is pretty low already compared to other tanks, reducing it further to coincide with a theme is asinine.

Also it's not that people on the wiki are bad at noticing jokes; it's that there are a lot of bad "jokes" posted on the wiki. Most of the time they just appear to be people complaining about something and saying "OMG THIS SUCKS" but in like a psuedo passive aggressive manner.
