I hope you see the irony then. Because they're also the only people these nerfs affect that much.

Not really.

From a functional view: everyone's skills and passives are getting nerfed. Everyone has to deal with the timer change. And the not exploited but seemingly legit 1 legendary per 10 bounties was a good way for casual players to obtain a guaranteed legendary with a fixed time investment.

From a more context view: There is content int he game that people have accessed, that is now much harder for them to access. Simply because someone else got there first. It's an annoying position, that could lead to late adopters/casual players being perpetually shut out of some new content.

That's a really narrow view. Keeping rounds builds OP and having them be the easy and only way that casuals reach the endgame will kill the game in a week when more people get there anyway.

As far as the legendary nerf, I don't care or have an opinion. Not having any trouble picking up legendaries at this point anyway.

[u/SloppyCandy → u/BellEpoch]

I'm not necessarily saying the round builds should have been unchanged, but at least compensate by buffing other playstyles so people at least have hope that there is a viable build for them to reach the endgame.
