No More mid Seasons Nerfs/Buffs

I love the fact that the developersystem are balancing this game accordingly, but do we have to have mid season buffs? Why not compile actual data and make changes to each season? Why let someone get to Champion the nerf or watch people struggle then buff their leaders mid season. I think it takes away from each season. See who can adjust to each season, capitalize, etc, but wait till everyone is in their rankings and then switch mid season? Why not just start a new season. The game has changed.

the whole mid season changes is fine, those who deserve champion levels will stay in champ and those that got there from riding the back of OP crutch strats like locust/reaver deathball will then fall out when their crutch is gone and they have to actually learn to properly play the game

By properly, you do mean win? Because, i tooknow my Kinsano, threw her in the trash, and will now use the next OP crutch Strathe, because I like to win. This game still will not be “balanced” so why change MID season. Make a NEW season.

people like you are what make this game not fun for others, you don’t care about balance if there is a way to just instant win a game then you pick it no matter how cheap it is, have fun losing game after game without locust deathball

I’m totally against this. Mid-season balance changes are great! Those with skill will be able to adapt and retain their high level of play, while those who are ready riding OP strategies will be forced to learn how to play the game and get better.

Besides, this mid-season patch wasn’t crazy and ground breaking like the patch released at the beginning of the season

Edit: Kinsano is hardly trash right now

If you rocked flame hogs it was with inferno. Can’t take bases anymore

Completely disagree. If something is broken or OP fix it.

Otherwise we we get a season full of everyone and their mother doing the exact same mindless tactic that is OP. See Kinsano at the end of last season

Same, Kinsano needed a nerf.

You’ve got Scorpions, Vultures, Hellbringers, and frankly Flamehogs are still good against buildings.

This. Mid season updates make the game better and makes the current season all the better because it forces adaptation.

No. I disagree completely.

Seasons hardly mean anything if the game’s broken. Most of the community were actively requesting for balance changes to be detached from the season/content drops and they have delivered, so I think that’s a highly positive thing.

Pretty much. Just because you play a character that favors certain units, doesn’t mean other units aren’t viable. Note, this is not a response for or against the mid season patches. I’m still undecided in that regard.

I’m just happy balance updates are being done on the regular and the developers are listening to the community. I grew up where you would get a disc (actually a cartridge because I’m old) with no internet connection. What you got out of the box is what you played forever. Oh the bugs in Tony Hawk sucked… I always fell through the geometry so many times trying to do 900 transfers from a halfpipe to a funbox rail. I’m still scarred.

We shouldn’t have to wait extra time for balance changes. You don’t want to wait for each dlc character for a balance patch right?

I’d rather not deal with a month of broken strategies again. You are only concerned about this because kinsano got a nerf mid season. The same thing happens in the league of legends community when one-tricks see their champion get nerfed.

And who is to say they aren’t using data to make mid season changes? It’s entirely possible that they identified an outlier that needed addressing and they did it quickly. I give them props for that.

Definitely do not support this thread.

The salt is strong in this thread.

Yeah I’m all for the mid season patch. Flame hogs (which I know is what your mad about) should have been addressed before the season anyway. I think we can all agree the game has some ways to go in terms of balance but I think the very large majoriy of the mid season patch was a step in the right direction. I have no problen making some small adapations mid season in the name of a more diverse and creative game.

Mid season balance changes are really important to getting the game to a balanced place. The other big RTS games make changes to broken strats mid season as well, I don’t see why HW2 shouldn’t.
