Many small balance changes that slightly tweak numbers is the only way to reach true balance.
Shit’s always chaotic and imbalanced after big patches. I wish they did less “big change for the sake of change” and more of what we got now.
Back in the day almost all patches were number patches. Hero reworks were far and inbetween, new mechanics even more so, and map changes were almost inexistent. Yet somehow it felt like there was less of a “winning recipe” and more of an “everything works” vibe, which I think most people will agree is more fun.
It boggles my mind that people are complaining so much about getting a “nothing patch”, when it is arguably the healthiest kind of update this game can get.
I’m all for shaking up the meta but this is a 10 year old game, I look forward to content just as much as patches, and after only patches I look forward to content even more.
