Steam charts says it all. Dying game. Can't even argue it. Since June people have basically abandoned this game. Pretty sad.

You could have canned most of the notes and just said "we're going back to traps/mines/totems/golems for another few years". So those boring op builds of the past will still be shitting on end game in 4 links, while everything somewhat popular at some point in the last few seasons will now require shit loads of investment for fractions of the speed, killing power, and survivability.

I usually flip the patch notes to a positive, and ignore the doomsayers, but there is no way to defend this shit.

Bow pass over with zero changes to ascendancies, the strongest bow skills(still shit compared traps/golems/etc) get hard nerfed, and the ballistas look underwhelming.

So the big bow pass over comes down to hoping that Burning Arrow/Explosive Arrow pan out strong, bow bases that gain attack speed at the cost of damage, and an updated Voltaxic Rift that is still shit(a full revert couldn't even save it in the current game)? All while slowing the tedious story down so that some casual can say "so difficult! now me pro gamer like Faker!".

Whatever, I want that portal effect. I guess I'll find the hottest trap build and faceroll through the "bow update season". Thanks for all of the well thought out "diversity".

ps- To the casual noob who is going to respond with "but dude you can make any build work if you're creative and intelligent enough"....please don't.

youre the only casual noob here i guess, have fun frontloading everything away with your shitty trap build and stay silent while doing so okay?

Overall looks like promised and intended, im very hyped, good work for now GGG
