Change Jeanne D'Arc - This is not ok

Some folks don’t have a way to talk about “hero” archetypes without resorting to shallow comparisons.

Basically, they don’t like Jeanne for whatever reason. And that’s fine. You don’t like what you don’t like.

But this is the Internet. Everything has to be quantified. Everything has to have a score. So people are driven to make their opinions seem factual, by adding points to their opinion score.

It’s not “I don’t like Jeanne”, it’s “this is an awful killing of the RTS genre of something that could never work and that’s why the devs have to change it”. Because “I don’t like Jeanne” doesn’t have the same impact in the eyes of Internet discussion posters.

And the irony is - it should. We should respect players who don’t like Jeanne, so long as it’s respected both ways as a matter of opinion. But it ain’t. Because it all comes back to trying to make the devs change something. About making other players accept that it isn’t okay.

Think of it as the inversion of “the feature / game is perfect stop complaining”.
