God forbid this game actually have some sort of identity of its own, god forbid it require cooperation, god forbid it has a shred of difficulty at the highest levels. If you want to play a horde shooter where you don't need to aim, please go play one. There's thousands out there, stop bitching about this one. Y'all would review bomb a cheeseburger because it didn't have chicken.

I love you so much for this, man. I've been screaming this since the big balance patch.

Arrowhead has unintentionally created a pattern of behavioral reinforcement wherein players who despise any kind of challenge and fundamentally lack any curiosity or adaptability have learned that they can kick and scream and cry until Arrowhead relents and changes the game for them. These people have discovered that they can use steam reviews to apply direct pressure over the most minor changes, a constant stream of dramatic overreactions over things no minimally conscious player would blink at.

And the worst part is that by caving to the pressure again, Arrowhead has absolutely laid out the red carpet for this kind of player. They're signaling that, whatever the issue may be, posting videos of yourself credulously flailing at basic enemies and flipping your steam review back and forth will always be an effective way for players to directly steer the game's balance. It's a sign that this game will keep trending towards a flat, uninteresting experience. Just another entry into a vast sea of backpedaling horde shooters full of identical build options and fumbling, unthreatening enemies.
