Zekent.3652 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Why not? "emergency" patches that at least tries to minimize the abuse of the current busted classes, like a nerf on bladesworn heals, can be made on a really short patch at any day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxoglanis.1904 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Because its not worth spending $$$ to work on a gamemode that 100 people play 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalisto.5780 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Because it's always the same You do emergency patches and ppl are just unhappy why abc didnt get nerfed too or why xyz classes didnt get a buff They rather just not do it I'm very surprise spec, cata and bs didnt get nerf after teapots tournamemt, since it was almost the same classes that won mat in both regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedywholesome.9081 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Genuine balance updates are infrequent, yes. However, they've done emergency balance patches on bugs like fire weaver getting constant barrier, bugs on power harb and mech etc. If you read some of the threads on the main section, a lot of PVEers abhor PvP and feel they subsidize the existence of PvP. (has something to do with some achievement where they are "forced" to pvp) I guess it takes a rare personality to enjoy competition. Even though I don't play mech at all in any mode, I like the entry level gameplay of it that makes pvp more bearable to newer players (what we kinda need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 they don't know how to do fine tuning. they nuke or barely scratch the surface, but usually they don't do anything so thats why people are relieved sometimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent.9538 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It is funny how they repeatedly hotfixed vindicator and willbender until they were dead (harb too but it's still decent) while we are going 3-4 months of specter stacking for MATs and nothing for them at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that's a matter of luck If they have a bunvh of pve stuff to do you get less pvp patches As they have "nothing" to do aftet eod release the classes that were stronget at first had quicker nerfs The spectre/cata/bs meta came when they were busy with steam release Now they gonna nerf those and we'll have a new meta again You basically gotta pray to your favorite class dont be absolutely oppressive at first, cuz they'll be more likely to be nerfed fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toguro.7641 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 agreed, not sure how just tweaking numbers takes so long. its pretty ridiculous how long we have to put up with certain kitten being broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASP.8093 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Because "balance hotfixes" are often really, REALLY knee-jerk and ill-advised. Hitting every single interesting new strategy that players discover with a nerf-bat immediately is dispiriting and bad for the metagame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimsley.3681 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Sometimes they get carried away with nerfing that it's overkill. Exciting specs erased on a whim - vindi, power harb and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their development cycle is really bad and inefficient with tons of merge conflicts.

Thief doesn't abide by the same rules as other classes in PvP. It has defined the meta since alpha.

Specter being stupidly overpowered doesn't mean those classes you listed are dead, far from it. They're simply in Specter's shadow biding their time.
