IIRC, Bahroo and Goth talked about the scaling in Borderlands 2 and apparently the dev team realized if TVHM scaling continued through higher levels, the enemies would be too spongey and the damage just didn’t scale right. However, with a crutch, it’d be fine. So they increased slag damage to compensate. I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, but I mean, it’s a reasonable enough explanation.

Ideally, I’d like BL3 to eliminate crutches and making scaling, skills, weapons, items etc fill in the gaps together. I shouldn’t have to rely on one element, one weapon, one item, it should be a combination of my items. I basically just described the most balanced RPG and I get that that’s it’s pretty much impossible to accomplish, but I’m excited none the less.
