What is the goal of balance changes?

You guys are like babies when it comes to balance things, there was a time where viper and the top players from that time were proposing the balances changes for the forgotten empires expansion, then the FE team released a patch with things that were not even suggested and even against viper and the other tops, for example plum archer had lost 1 range back then in their first release.

Their balance criteria has always been pro low level players, that is reason why i am here, to be a small voice against such dramatic changes that impact medium and high levels, such as the indians and khmer stuff and as you can see they haven’t addressed those civs yet properly, in fact the newer patch will boost more indians.

I can give you 10 examples with real data of how broken leitis is and imp camel but there will be low players who think they are not that strong cus viper and hera doesn’t usem them in 1x1 tournaments, their understanding is so limited to what they can see but not comprehend, go and check latest threads they said imp camel and leitis will be dead and useless in the incoming patch, one of those guys was saying Lithuanians were so bad that only leitis was carrying the whole civ, well he got proven super wrong with the latest 1x1 tournaments but still he keeps pushing every single balance topic like if his knowledge was good enough.

Balance patches were common during the HD days, all the changes back then were following steam complains from very low levels, that is why the big community was not taking the hd seriously until the last expansion from there the Rise of rajas. In african kingdoms arrowlist was a castle age upgrade, so towers were unstoppable, tatoh had to humillate all players during a tournament just to show how broken that tec was and it was highly requested from those low players complaining how weak were castle age towers and useless.

I hope that can give you an idea of the big picture, they are doing changes following their own criteria based on complains but those changes in all the years of the FE team existence have never been justified, they say there is a balance team with few top players, but they don’t really follow those recommendations unless its a very bad thing like steppe lancers.

The pressure was too much from several pro players and the community that they did not fix the unit, they nerfed it so bad to the point to make that unit not worth making.
