It's really terrifying, this new policy is trying to make us use some weapons instead of others, but I will explain why this does not work and makes things only worse. No longer do the devs nerf items because they are simply overpowered, no, because they are overused.
But the effects are horrendous, because:
- The balance gets ruined by these unneeded nerfs.
- People get two choices:
-either stick with their favorite weapon
-move on to the next one, creating a new overused one, creating an endless cycle of nerfing
People won't use a variety of alternatives, unless they all got the same stats. Why? That's pretty simple.
First of all, people using a weapon because they like the looks and stuff, will keep using them anyway!
Secondly, they will just move onto the next bes option if stats drove them towards using it. Asa.
Freedom of choice is being undermined here, we must never do this.
I also wonder why some weapons which are overused (like the glaive) are simply made more expensive while others are nerfed in their stats (like the heavy lance)?
This policy has got to stop before it becomes the core for future decisions. Give the community the freedom back to pick their own favorite weapons, why should you care a lot of people like the same weapon?
I end my statement, feel free to comment and state your opinion.
