I’m very disappointed with the balance changes this season. Rus was completely gutted while overpowered civs like China or Japan were barely scratched or Byz was even buffed. I understand some people do not like the Rus early defensive play style, but it already had terrible win rates from low level leagues to pro level. So why were multiple nerfs necessary? If that was the issue the devs should have provided feudal buffs to encourage early aggression from Rus. It seems like the devs are intent on ruining the civ’s viability, which was already low in feudal. Frankly, this makes me want to step away from the game and not even bother with the DLC, but I hope the devs reconsider these choices soon.
