Imagine there is a guy who so much hates Group AB, that if group AB has a new japanese toilet, he will on purpose restrict his bowel movements, just not too look like them or be like them.

ANd if they enjoy good food, and optimizations, he will, for certain, go back to eating worms and dirt from nearby puddle, because he does not want to have anything in common.

I know more people like that than I would like. In fact I would preffer no people like that existed, sadly there is a lot of them.

You guys remember that so much advertised QOL aisling slam change into orb 1,5 year ago?

Do we need to praise the lord to save us from the incoming nerfs?

I sure would like for them to bring back old Nerf Hammer that would delete most meta builds from existence each league, giving use real meta shuffle. But thats very unlikely.

is this a joke?

No, but the more teasers we get with questionable changes, the more I start to fear about just hidden huge nerfs that have nothing to do with qol.

Are they reducing rarity to elder/ wakener maps?

Does the atlas have enough slots for every recipe, or are we loosing good ones like hits can't be evaded?

Play the game if GGG messed up gameplay then give them proper feedback after that.

working on two games can add features that wouldnt otherwise be in the other game but enhance it.

so, coin toss?

There is a reason Chris Wilson and his buddies cashed out and left the ship.

Some fairly major nerfs would be quite welcome if they hit us up with some sweeping changes/buffs to go with it.

I get the whole monkey paw thing and GGG created that rep for themselves over time but most of this sudden burst of QoL we get these days is entirely because they've abandoned stonewalling it at the top.

some elements of the vision are absolutely true, but things like breach splinters dropping in singles? I'm sorry but that is just pathetic when there are so many ways to avoid it in the first place design wise.

In that vein most of the new QoL we get is just common sense and little tweaks to lower the irrelevant friction, they haven't really touched the relevant friction aside from the currency exchange and I suspect that was just because of TFTs impact.
