People dislike the changes for 3 reasons:
1. The seem radical
2. They reduce the power of blobs
3. They originate from a fellow player
My response:
1. Good: the game DOES need radical change. The devs are too timid to do it so they are trying changes from the community. I don't care where it comes from; any radical change is good to test.
2. L2p
3. You may think you're better that Mira, you may think you're worse... but relic didn't ask you for your changes. They asked Mira.
TLDR; dilute your salt in some more tears before offering up for consumption.
This seems very generalizing and fallacious to me.
While I like some, if not most of the changes when taken individually, the complete package seems lacking and/or unbalanced to me.
That's because if you compare it to the changes in the competetive mod there's quite a lot of them missing:
While in the mod OKW gets compensated with a buffed Raketenwerfer, they get nothing in relic's version.
Or all the heavies get a rear armor nerf, while only the Tiger I got it initially in the preview (this is changed now)
Same with Battlegroup HQ which gets buffed ISG and FHT and again, nothing in relic's version.
And the list goes on.
I'm no magician so I cannot divine how these changes actually play out, but it's my and any other players good right to voice any scepticisms one might have, just as the rest can voice their content with the changes.
