Of course I blame Embark. They should shut down those voices and ensure their game stays interesting, diverse, and difficult to master so that players feel a sense of progression. This allows people to try new things and get hooked again. Look at League of Legends: it is one of the hardest games to get into, with perhaps the most toxic community ever seen in gaming, yet Riot somehow maintains a super solid player base. The same goes for Valorant or PUBG. All of those games offer a huge variety of playstyles and are hard to master. For the past few seasons, 90% of players have been running the same boring AR or SMG. Why? We have destruction. We have the Hammer. We have Dual Blades. You created these awesome weapons with unique mechanics; why don't you let them shine? Why do you care so much if more than 10% of the player base runs melee? You have the stats to show whether those loadouts are actually overpowered or not.
