From someone who just wants to come up with a “gotcha” on semantics so eagerly that he forgot about BASIC BASIC semantics.
I am not a native speaker of English. I can differentiate those words since primary school. I don’t need PASSION to differentiate them.
Not sure about you though. The only reason I have to clarify on semantics is because it seems you cannot understand. So I’m doing you a big favor.
Ah lolololololololol
BTW I’m not the developer (in case you don’t know) so I have no idea why you want me to transfer my PASSION to that.
There are balancing discussions next door. I’m not an expert so I leave it to experts. But why experts like you rarely come up with anything beyond REMOVE?
As you need PASSION to understand semantics, let me explain it in more detail:
This means I respect those who can come up with good and realistic balancing plans than removing things. For example this discussion:
(BTW abus gun has been a lame unit but why nobody wants to remove it? Because it is a unit in the sacred legacy you dare not touch? And only post-DE additions are what you can safely tread on?)
You are not such people.
You’re welcome.
Because I’m against;
- REMOVING already existing contents for balance purposes, NOT balance itself. I believe I have made it pretty clear, but as you need PASSION to understand semantics, allow me to do it again. You’re welcome.
- The ranked mentality of grinding with the meta, that propagates into every game, every mode, and even the brain of many game developers
Just to clarify I hate meta and laming in other games too (that’s why I don’t play ranked for AOEs). But my opinion is not “removing this or that so people will not lame”. No. People will always lame. The solution is either constant dynamics stats balancing, or seeking a completely different alternative than ranked (on the developers’ side).
The first is not realistic considering the resource the game is given. If the game promotes sp or co-op pve, people will still lame on ranked, but that becomes a minority so that they won’t disgust other players in other modes. The current situation is the complete opposite. Because the developers add contents that are beneficial to most other modes but don’t provide or promote other alternatives.
BTW I don’t believe people lame a lot for unranked games (at least still relatively lower ratio) so I’m not buying OP’s position.
There have been people who want a certain unit removed but hid that intention under the disguise of changing the name of a totally unrelated unit. It may sound stupid, but believe me someone really did.
Now let me ask you: if he is not a ranked player why are you teaming up with him? xDDDDDD
