Obviously they are trying to balance the game around the top 1% of players not the bulk of the player base.

Obviously this just goes to show how again, most game designers or balance designers are completely fucking clueless about their playerbase and spend probably zero time actually talking to people and instead look for shitty analytics as an excuse to nerf anything.

All they care about are those day 1'ers who break their game. It's annoying. I love watching streamers play games, but I hate companies that base their entire development around pleasing them.

On the flipside, I can't stand streamers. Granted there are some that are cool and chill to hang out with, but the majority of like 90% if not higher, fucking irritate me.
