After countless threads and posts, we have tasted a small victory with the SK balance changes. It was annoying as hell to see Derren and Morgvarg is 100% of the decks, but hopefully, with the recent changes, it wont be 100% anymore (may be it will reduce it to 80%?). It was a great feeling. It took a lot of posts, threads, Ask a Dev questions to achieve it. Having a lot of meaning conversations and arguments with one of the most active and mature moderators (@4RM3D) who (I think) is SK main was good. We will have to see how SK does with these balance changes.
But all said and done, it now seems like we have to embark on our next important mission. Balancing Monsters. While every update brings nerfs to every faction (even for ST, which is the saddest and funniest part), MO always gets buffed (or their counters getting nerfed). The stupid Wild Hunt Raider with 8 point tempo with NO condition at all, Yrden, Geralt:Igni, Regis everyone getting nerfed to name a few. Clearly the whole of the community (may be except the MO main players) feel it is unfair and get dejected to see MO always on top and constantly getting buffed and unconditional love.
Yesterday Burza tried Eldain in his stream and I only watched one game (don't know if he played only one or many), and got crushed by Eredin. There was absolutely nothing he could do (or any Eldain players could do). So, it shouldn't need huge amount of convincing to the CDPR team that clearly MO has a huge advantage over other factions (now, that other factions got balanced).
So, we will have to create meaningful threads, posts, discussion (and even Ask A Dev) to bring balance to MO. It is just stupid, no-brainer, even-a-bot-can-play decks and mechanism should stop. Every faction should have a chance to shine and should need equal amount of skill to achieve it. Lets do it together as a community!
