What is REALLY balanced after all?

Did you understand the question? Past weeks tons of complaints for lld but rarely for hld

I wonder why....


oh yes. Because the majority of pvpers were engaging in lld and almost no one (comparatively speaking) in HLD


if there was equall amount of hld qq as lld qq then Id be incredibly worried about hld

Complaints does not mean that LLD is unbalanced. There was an influx of players new to LLD so it's natural there is going to be a lot of discussion/complaints regarding it.

past weeks LLD saw a huge influx if new players who don't understand shit and complain about every single thing that wrecks them. HLD saw how much new players? You can't tell me both HLD and LLD had the same influx of players in an LLD focused patch.

Wait for an HLD focused patch, good luck trying to tell them it isn't about having BiS mirrored gear and shit, noobs complain about everything.

Ping issue is legit, but blame the gear lol

To answer the question, yes, LLD is reasonably balanced right now. The evidence is in that in the invitationals, we saw a wide variety of build types. This means that the best of the best can feel confident going into a real tournament with their respective builds.

The main thing I'd encourage is the addition of new skills with more utility or buffs to old skills to increase the diversity of our skill-pool. From a gameplay and an audience standpoint, I much prefer to fight/watch characters like SirEdwards/Macgyver and Sidro who used more than just 2-3 abilities, than builds that always try to all-in or bust.

As for the noobs complaining issue, I'm fine with letting them complain, so long as their complaints don't influence GGG and the balance too much. For the most part, they rather just cry about external factors than work/learn to get good. This is as typical in life as it is in PoE. Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power.

TBH .. lapiz new char 1 shots me in LLD, nobody can do that in HLD. overall I feel HLD is moore balanced exept a few minor stuff that would be easy to fix(hello molten)

Cwdt spells on casters is lazier and far more bull shit then Molten. There is at least a work around when it comes to Molten, bad or not its there. Cwdt spells are going to 1/2 to 1hit kill you at melee range regardless of physical/elemental damage you do.

Also don't forget CoC daggers linked up with multiple spells. Makes the dagger of past patches look legit.
