Why do people balance around the pro scene anyway? That's like .1% if the playerbase?
A fucking pro player is gonna be able to adjust to dumb changes, just appeal to the average Joe and let them sort themselves out.

Because the one percent can attract the majority to watch or play maybe.
Austin Murphy
To a lesser degree dark souls 2 wasn't that great but it got even worse when it tried balancing every weapon and spell for PVP, while leaving enemy resistances the same, so 90% of things are useless in PVE.
Oliver Rodriguez
Yeah, the broken mess of the game was so fun.

Think about how dumb the average person is.
Now realize that 50% of people are even dumber.
balance around the top tier of play - "wtf op" - reply with "git gud"
balance around shit tier - "wtf op" - can't do anything because braindead people require numbers advantage - revolving door meta - death - misery
