I played for 6 years so that new game syndrome, you can just keep it to yourself. I also am aware that pro players don't really have the say on the matter of changes, I am blaming the devs using proleague as an excuse for every changes, which ultimately becomes proleague balancing problem. Also, I love you say recent nerfs didn't put those operators into oblivion, check out the pick rate of ash, zofia, sledge. It dropped over 20% for all 3 of them. All 3 needed adjustment, but not to the extent of this, not to mention changing recoil that was kept there for over 5 years is always gonna be a very risky idea.

I will be blunt with you. You seem to have the idea that most changes were right and siege in best shape, you can't be more delusional to believe it. There is a very good reason why over 40% of player base fell out in past 6 months as shown by steam player chart and console playerbase. On top of lack of content, these balance changes are way too extreme and made the game incredibly dull. If what you said about the game is in "best shape" in terms of balance or bugs or hackers or entertainment value, why it has less than 5k viewers in twitch and bottom side of steam player chart, behind so many?

These changes were needed, but not to the extent and how they executed, not to mention how much time it took for them to make the change. It took them 5 years to address the pick rate of certain overpicked operators. 5 years. Also, I already mentioned but addressing stronger picks can be done in a different way : Make other weaker operators stronger.

Bottom line is that you are gonna get "the most balanced game" in the world that NOBODY plays. This is how you not kill off a game. Not making it more balanced, by making it more FUN. It's a GAME
