Prophecy as a Core Game Mechanic

A game like this will always have changes. New content will be added and when the developers feel, they have caused it to get unbalanced, they are bound to roll back some of it to make it more balanced.

My take on this is a nerf is all good to keep the game balanced for the future. Many new people join everyday, many leave playing. The game needs to be balanced in the present time. But there are always things that people dream about, like a perfectly rolled harbinger selling for 350 exalts :D

There are OP legacy items floating about which people eventually may work hard to earn enough to buy. If people have worked towards getting certain things, they should be allowed to keep it. Some players having super strong gear for some time will not hurt the larger number of new players or others without the benefit of it. A person having the most amazing gear is bound to stop using it (getting bored or leaving the game or selling it). Even the player keeps using it, it hardly effects others who play the game as it is now and not as it used to be once upon a time.

I think the Reach and Voidheart are OP. I also believe that keeping the stronger versions of them as legacy and changing the newer versions works. People can keep those things they worked hard to get. This is their reward for playing the game or the league at this time. Future players will get some other benefit. A retroactive nerf needs to be applicable to all OP items and not only certain uniques. Eventually the legacy items will rise in price and become items people want to buy eventually just like a headhunter (which is OP).

Regarding the inclusion of Prophecy, people have preferences. Some people like it, some people don't. No right or wrong there. I don't like this league much, but that's just my opinion.
