GuriGashi.5617 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Title is self-explanatory. If you have something big up your sleeves, please let us see the changes and don‘t implement them out of nowhere and without some community feedback. It would also be fun to theory craft before the new patch is released.Or even a small statement about what is roughly planned in terms of balancing, a date for when we will see changes or which classes you are currently looking into - something tangible for the competitive community. For me personally this 0 information environment drains my motivation to play the game and I am not sure, but I believe we haven‘t had a big balance patch with proper announcement since last February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega.5791 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 You are completely right about the communication part of course. But I kind of doubt there will be a major patch, soooo... well, I got more pessimistic since February. :disappointed: Also, I have lost hope regarding most balance suggestions in the forums. I can't say much about many classes, but there are a huge lot of biased people around here - and some good players are very lacking in rational analysis of issues as well. So while I would still like to see changes ahead of time, I wouldn't worry too much about the feedback. Maybe some major oversights can be avoided though.

Communicating the changes once they are done is not good, If the devs reworked a traitline once it is done there is no point for the community to provide any feedback as no relevant changes can be done at that point.

A lot of community feedback that you see isn't all that useful. It lacks objectivity and is brimming with bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the community will warn about glaring problems which could come with some changes which the devs may not have anticipated.There is nothing bad in more feedback as long as the community managers filter it.

Could have fooled me with the posts I see on this forum. Never said there wasn't any merit to it, its just a large majority isn't that helpful due to aforementioned lack of objectivity and / or bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very rare and didn't happen in the case of Mirage, but it's at least worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be a balance patch either in January or February and just in case I hope they decide to warn us some time ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNOwen.7132 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I mean if the next big change isnt a complete revert of everything other than bugfixes since and including the february megapatch, I just wouldnt particularly care about it.
