You guys, both the whole dev team and decision makers, are utterly disgusting. We spend time to study the leech mechanism and carefully build around it, spend hundred of hours farming for currency to get some good leech items.
And on one fine day you guys decided to nerf it.
What rules did we violated?
We've been playing BASED ON THE RULES YOU SET, and for no obvious reason now you decided to nerf it????
Pieces of garbage. I will not spend a single cent more on this game.

be glad, finally you might play something else then your 1 build in standard

Might? Or might not, for a casual player who needs to work 9-5 and having his normal social life.

I actually work 8-12 hours a day, do business trips, I have a GF and actually a life yet I still manage to get 36 challanges few weeks before end of a league while also play other games. And that is me doing 2-5 builds per league (usually not even lvl 95) only because I hate playing same build / skill again (also I delete my standard characters). sometimes I just get to maps with new build after few days and then delete it because I dont really like the skill or I dont find the meaning anymore playing it.

Also what exactly got so nerfed you cant play your build anymore? I didnt really see any huge nerf that would make anyone drop their build and if, as stated, 5% nerf is too much for you then bro, you got a different kind of issue for sure

The more i see nerfs/buffs, the more i don't worry about each of those changes.
It's sometimes frightening, but finally almost always fine. You just have to change a bit.
Probably nerf are annoying for some who spend tons of exalt to buy items for the meta, but when you don't trade, you don't care at all.

The main change i care about for this league is FINALLY the accurate mod tier on items (seen on GGG twitter account the 1st of march), and for me it's far more important.

There is only one thing to cry : we wait for the patch note, and it's still not there. Quiiiiiiick :)

So killing Melee by letting it rot to death for 4 whole years now wasnt enough, now you have to kill Life Leech as well so Ascendancies like Slayer get killed even further ?

Do you even play your own game ? Do you even know how fucked up this meta is where for 4 years in a row spells get buffed and melee gets nothing and now you gut it even more ?

Holy shit guys, calm down. Nerfing certain things in a game is not always bad, it forces you to try something new and think outside of the box. The leech nerf is completely fine... you can get to endgame and beat the fuck out of it without leech in total. There are plenty of other ways to sustain your life pool and use other means of mitigation. Don’t forget the game you’re playing is free and is releasing content like fucking crazy. Just enjoy the game for what it has to offer. Everything will be fine .

Why is there a need to make balance by making things worse. Why not balance by making things better instead?

You got it!

I don't care about ANY NERF as long as they don't touch my baby CoC and Cyclone.. Please leave it be....

It's not like they're broken. They're strong sure, but nowhere near as broken as many other stuffs.
