this is a trivial response to deflect the real issues at hand. the "un-balance" (in the words of a few HTKs) of the "newest" additions to the game.
this is also a deliberate attempt to deflect the same issues stated above. yes people technically still play all the elements, but few have the inventory for that kind of versatility.
oh, they do???!! weird, since all these "aspects" aren't. go figure (you probably already know).
i think it's plain to see which items aren't balanced at all, even without having to go through thousands and thousands of simulations. it's there in the numbers.
gato released their first balance changes weeks/months after taking over, and now that it's been over a year since the obvious "un-balance", this is the excuse you put for the devs? boy i wish you the best holding out your hope.
again, putting words into my mouth. you're not going anywhere trying to run this narrative by me. like really, nowhere was this idea of "disliking ushering in the new gen" mentioned.
also untrue. wow, its like people don't have alts in this game.
i've never asked for new items? where do you keep getting all these assumptions?
a naive view of the drops, but ok.
clearly someone hasn't seen my thoughts on the ts forum.
but to address whatever this is, just because others get meta items, doesnt mean the item is balanced. your framing of this is just a blatant attempt of trying to discredit my arguments.
i've seen the power of the fortresses/dual mods. it feels dirty to me using it / getting beaten knowing the opponent carries them. call it "whining", idc. alex said he's gonna release e-m variants of the dual mods. yeah sure buddy.
hopefully he will keep stringing you along, like cattle to the slaughter, before pulling the plug (and plugging it in again)
