What is Balance to You?

[Junkpile.7439]

Balance is hard, but they could at least try. You know that something is wrong when 5 vs 1 fight feels fair.

Does it matter what is balance to us? Does ANet care? The question should be thrown to them.

But then, their 'true' answer is already too obvious and hurting to ignore; balance is nerfs, nerfs and nerfs all the way.

Pre-2016 it was a strange era .... we dont talk about it ...

Also a good watch.

To that video I say: Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Balance has a specific definition: two things equally distributed in order to maintain stability. How you get to that equal distribution involves both increases(buffs) and decreases(nerfs). Yes, even severe ones. In competitive games, it's an ideal yet to be reached and always in progress. Still that mean we shouldn't attempt it.

The reason people say we should just buff instead of nerf is because it's popular among players, nothing more. Nobody, in the history of gaming, likes their class or character having their toys taken away. But you know what, it's for the good the game in the long run so people need to suck it up! If all you have is buffs, then you just get powercreep. If the bar is raised so high where everyone has a nuke in their hands, then what is even the point of playing? I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem "fun" to me.
