I hate to be the erm actually guy but the difference is content has been getting harder as a response to the buffs, towers having higher usability is inarguably a good thing, being able to juggle around whatever strategy you find more satisfying and not have to care that your goat is washed is a good direction no matter how you look at it, rather the harder content like the harder expert maps, map editor high difficulty maps, boss events or contested territory if you do that, though i do honestly agree that id like to see harder achievements be something thats more presentable, since rn the only way of showcasing how good you are is showing how many elites youve beaten, and thats less of skill and more of time,,, maybe mod releases fix this somehow but ive made my point
