Remember a few leagues back it was a struggle to complete the atlas? Perhaps not, but it was. T16 wasn't super hard for a few builds but for the rest it was not easy.
The aim at making some fun for the few has been like a straight arrow. My super casual gameplay ended at t9, then t5, now last it was t4 before it was all death death death and I uninstalled.

What does casual mean to you exactly? It must be more than just low time investment, because you can invest 2-3 hours a week and get a strong build that does all content by mid league.

Does it mean just allocating skill points randomly and picking skills randomly, without regard for what's actually good? Does it mean never trading, and never crafting gear, just using garbage you find on the ground?

Topping out in white or yellow maps happens to NEW players all the time, because they don't know how to create a successful build. That's not so much about time investment as game knowledge. But a player who returns league after league, but only plays a small amount of actual wall time, I'd still expect to be successful. If you know the game mechanics, it doesn't take much time investment to bulldoze your way to T16.

Cry a river over your hh build nerf - who cares. I for example will do something shocking and unbelievable - I will simply play something new instead of same thing over again.
Anyway good job, can't wait to try new skills, builds.
