Should there be a tank-related column in after-scenario results screen?

Greetings!

I've recently returned to the game, and noticed an interesting change after first scenario I've attended: there was the MMR column. As I mostly play tanks, that brought a big joy to me — technically it's possible, logically it's credible, and in the name of equality, shouldn't tanks have their own column to sort by? Mitigation would work, IMO, and should be quite simple to implement — it's all in the battle log.

Guard damage received and total damage absorbed maybe? Additionally, people punted in proper situations.........

A protection column like swtor would be perfect (all the damage that is mitigated by challenge/guard), might encourage tanks to actually do what they're meant to. Not sure it's possible to implement on this server though.
Would also be nice if absorbs counted as healing too

I agree, it could be a good way to encourage more tanks(especially on Order). Would be a cool feature, people like to see big numbers and feel good about themselves :D

this is my biggest concern playing BO tank - there is no metric to see if you are doing your job properly. everyone else has this. i would love any sort of scenario info or even an addon to it that can track this

It'd be a nice addition and it might even motivate some people to focus more on guard swaps and challenges. Everybody likes having big numbers next to their name.
