In reality the only OP bow was Deaths Opus because, for the level requirement that it has, it is exceedingly more powerful than it should be. It has both absurdly high crit multi and is easily end-game worthy. The "Reach of the Council" was only ever slightly better dps wise depending on the build and like i said if they made any actual change to it in terms of dmg the Opus bow would easily overtake it. Did any of you listen? Nope. Now we have to deal with people bitching and when it does get nerfed people will only move on to bitch about the Opus next. Stop listening to the ignorant scrubs that have only played a few leagues and actually check the content yourself GGG. You released it under the pretense of understanding that it was within the realm of balance when compared to some other endgame worthy bows. If you didn't believe so then why release it with the stats it had? Why back down now? Seriously, this is the first time i have ever actually enjoyed a bow build! Both the Opus and the Reach made me feel like building an archer was worth building into instead of the same old CoC, RF or CWDT builds that literally everyone and their mother does. It is laggy as mess, absurdly OP and extremely cheap compared to most other builds in the game that can be called "Endgame worthy". ..Rant over. if you need RotC to have endgame worthy build i.. i.. just do not know what to say. sorry but that it is just unreasonable thing to say. that bow was and is broken and most likely will remain even with the nerf (just like Voltaxic and Incinerate are still perfectly fine) you are just conditioned to playing on cheats so you do not know how the rest of this game looks like I never once stated that i "NEED" the RoTC bow you pompous ignoramus! Learn to read child or get back in school. I said that it made Bow WORTH playing as a decently fast endgame map clearer and that bow made it fun (at least for me)! It isn't broken :P What it is trying to compete with is broken. CoC and CWDT Discharge are the most played builds on this game and are extremely broken. They are cheap and require little planning to have them work as effectively as most other builds and when planned effectively leave everything in the dust either in dps or in survivability. If they want to make changes to balancing they should balance that first! Conditioned to playing on cheats? WTF?! Cheating in this game would get you banned as it would require you to hack the game since none of your items are LOCAL. What i am "conditioned" for is hardcore grinding and that is why i continue to come back to this game every new league.

no no no. Why would they decide to carry over the league with the most items to go legacy. Petition not to add to Standard Game. Leave Leagues in Leagues.

But what about existing Reaches, will they keep their stats or get nerfed as well?	Posted by SunL4D2#6224 on Aug 11, 2016, 2:40:28 AM Quote this Post

I think people who invest their time and playing hundreds of Hours a league should keep their Items as a reward for their efforts, UNTOUCHED i mean! That is exactly my opinion, too. I play leagues specifically to get the league-exclusive items and I sank almost all my farmed currency into such a bow (ran the council 9 times, got 4 scepters and 5 masks :( ). I don't think I'd play leagues again if I must assume the items become useless afterwards. I'd rather combine some of the cool items I've collected in previous leagues and finally make some really OP char in std. Summary: Please don't nerf ROTC retroactively.

due to fear of loosing playerbase. people get used to being powerful and they do not accept getting weaker easily thus powercreep and the outrageous whines when something gets nerfed thus calling ecerything thrash shit and crap (without even testing it). so many people thrash on Incinerate and call it dump but it is still a very powerful skill. accepting the simple.fact that was the build that carried the player not the other way around is difficult for many and thats why chance for nerfs accross the board are slim	Posted by sidtherat#1310 on Aug 11, 2016, 4:22:32 AM Quote this Post

Such a shitty move to nerf ROTC when it goes standard. Its your fault you fu** up by releasing it in that state and now we the players are getting punished for it. As a casual player that has managed to get ROTC at the end pf the league(still no 6-kink) i am so happy to transfer it to standard and try to use the full potential of it if/when i got it 6-linked and now you say this...Why don't you just put a big title on the front page:Play leagues, standard is a waste of time** . You are just looking at the best players and you allow them to get tons of currency , and we who play the game hour or two a day got screwed over as we will never know the true potential of our characters because we will get useless items once the league is done.
