But DJ among SY is many leagues ahead and is disgustingly OP. But everyone knows this and I believe even CDPR knows this (and hence the hint that he will be balanced). CDPR knows the sentiment of people and still they went ahead with this. They would know that they would get criticised like hell and still they did this. I sincerely hope there is a bigger strategy and reasoning behind it. A company as smart as CDPR could not be that tone deaf to not know the backlash they would get with this challenge.
A bigger strategy? Behind:
- Not sticking to a clear vision with full focus on units and battle between units: Too many uninteractable plays (specials, artifacts and several other binary and immune stuff)
- Forgetting about previously (unavoidably) acknowledged problems with the binary artifact mechanic (which is still not fixed, just the excess symptoms (Sihil, MC Spear) have been nerfed to the ground) and the uninteractable no-unit nonsense: Introducing a coin mechanic that is much worse, allowing completely uninteractable point hoarding (again no focus on units - points/coins not staying with units)
- Providing a balance patch and introducing a leader and faction that created more imbalance, which has been clearly indicated by players, numbers and the rise of Usurper unfunness.
- Now disappointing players even further by promoting this unbalanced unfunness with the coin mechanic and OP leaders and decks in a special event.
I believe the above to be facts, please feel free to comment if you think I'm incorrect. Being positive is important, but it's most important to be realistic and factual. Don't sell yourself short by thinking that there is a "bigger strategy" that you don't see. We can all see what's happening, what's (not) being communicated and most importantly, how we feel about it.
