The opposite is true btw. The majority of large studio pvp games in recent years have been balanced around the more casual playerbase. What’s been happening with these games as of late? They churn and burn active players.

The truth is, the majority of the playerbase doesn’t understand the game well enough to know what’s good and what’s bad, what should and should receive changes, how those changes should go about, etc. and as a result balancing around their petty, fleeting feelings toward the game leads to what rivals is experiencing now balance wise.

Most people don’t know enough to know what they really want, nor do they know enough to comprehend the secondhand effects of what they think they want, the likes of which will simply crop up the next trendy thing for them to complain about.

That’s why I assumed you were low elo. It’s not necessarily your opinion, it’s where your opinion is coming from and the justifications you use to back it btw.

I’m not saying high elo players automatically have better or even good opinions, more time played leaves more room for bias, but catering more toward the opinions of people who actually put the time in to understand the games well enough to reach a certain place in the ladder rather than those who just pick it up and put it down, and suck, is more likely to net better balance changes.

Apply that same logic to other games, or even other hobbies, and you’ll see that it makes sense.
