Yet again a deadeye league

Still waiting for the "melee is good" that was promised. The constant nerfing of warriors even though its been (the least played of all classes) and the constant buffing of ranged classes (the MOST played) has just shown that the meme of GGG hating melee is not a meme, its the truth. Gutting shield block to force active garbage, mobs shredding armor, shield break on players ever being a thing, ridiculously slow hits in melee doing less damage than speed of light ranged hits that you can keep avoiding everything and being able to go zoom zoom because armor slows you down makes warrior suck.

We get it, the devs were bullied by people they viewed as warriors in school so now they have to make them trash in the game. At this point either make them good or just delete them.

Before all the white knights can glaze GGG just look at played classes, deadeye had got up to 63% played, warrior with all three ascendancy totaled less than 5% combined. People know that they suck and they understand that GGG hate melee.

well they nerfed the heck out of everything else that got played at all.

Their development is "find what players like and get rid of it"

Even 1% builds got nerfed/killed

Hopefully they don't nerf deadeye into the ground. Buff literally everything else. Its dumb how this game has hundreds of skills but 95% of them aren't used.

deadeye will be nerfed for sure. So will everything else that got played this league. Minions will be gone for sure. Blood mage will probably remove that crit node and nerf whatever spells are being used. People are still playing invoker so that will be nerfed.

Their strategy has only been "find what players like and get rid of it"

If this is how GGG gonna balance PoE2, game will be dead before release. People will tire of everything played last season getting nerfed into the ground.

At least poe1 got so many gems that this doesn't affect it much

wow brother, that was cruel, so true xD

I think GGG idea is force player to swap skills or playstyle, but players hate it.
Focus is on new shiny skills / items only.

Its mainly not GGGs fault. The GGG fault is, that S-Tier Builds are in the game. But the rest is on players side. You dont need to play a S-Tier build. You can play whatever you want. Its a player skill issue, If you need a S-Tier build to come through the campaign. If people always goes the easiest way they get more and more worse with their own skill. You dont need Deadeye to play the game. I have no idea why people take the easy way out. It hurts your gaming skills, and it's not very satisfying if you have no challenge and just clear the screen with every click. But it starts with the fact that many people don't really play POE for the fun of it. They do what motivates them in real life. In POE's case, that's farming currency and other things and playing the auction house to become the richest guy. Why is that?! Thats not the Intention of a game.

All of this. Additionally, it's early access and of course things aren't going to be perfectly balanced.

They really need to buff ascendancies, all of them including deadeye too. Ascendancies should feel incredibly impactful, not a bare minimum buff to push through.

I am going to call you out on this. what you are saying is you want players to suffer, period. People will naturally go to the easiest, best builds. Its human nature. With this response you are being extremely condescending and its a huge problem POE a lot of players have, you want to think you are better than everyone and put yourself on a pedestal. The whole BS of ohh look i don't follow a build, i make my own perfect off meta god build that noone can replicate..... just word vomit.

Players want to have fun, not be punished for playing a game, they want to do cool things, make fun stuff but the devs have this backwards thinking of fun detected nerf until everything is trash (except the class a dev plays) GGG used to know this, but the garbage "Vision" keeps getting in the way of people enjoying the game.

People need to stop trying to protect GGG with the "but its early access" garbage. It's disgusting, just like people were trying to say, but .30 isn't out yet you don't know if a class will be bad.... Its obvious taking away power from something that is already weak is going to make it worse, stop with the copium.
