Hype Squad is officalally dead

sorry for the over dramatic title, but with new patch update i think it's time for me to just uninstall.

this biggest issue for me is how they are nerfing the scythe beyond belief.

scythe IS very strong yes, but just because something is strong shouldn't give one the reason to insta-nerf it.

the reason scythe is strong is simply because it's undoubtedly the most complete weapon in the entire set that has benefited from the change to the stamina system.

scythe has, damage skills, healing skills, escape skills, AND even a skill that rewards/refunds spent stamina when landing successful skill shots. it was the most complete weapon in the game overall and it's sad to see that all the other weapons weren't revamped to the scythe power level.

sorry for rambling, but my main point is that these devs never learn... instead of nerfing, consider revamping other weapons first to the level of the top tier weapon so that way you dont just gut an entire playstyle and destroy the ecosystem. these devs are neglecting and repelling their dwindling playerbase away quick.

imagine if ALL weapons, especially the knuckles, katana , pole staff, and axe all had a way to give stamina back for landing skill shots. imagine if those weapons all had a REAL viable disengage skill to keep them safe. that would be great and add some more depth to the combat no?

it seems that these devs have no clue on how to even design proper combat playstyles.

one more note is that the change from 2 weapon slots to only 1 is insane when you look at all of the weapons that barely got reworked. like what were these devs thinking?

it's only common sense. i honestly dont mind only 1 weapon, but it's fking COMMON sense to homogenize all the weapons at least. maybe they just dont have good enough programmers to work on redesigning all the weapons from scratch.

in a 2 weapon system, you could get away with unique weapon playstyles. maybe you want to use a weaker more niche weapon, but AT LEAST you could cover it's weakness by also equipping a more viable weapon in your second slot.

in a 1 weapon system? you simply cant expect balance if you devs dont take the time to make the correct redesigning decisions to all weapon skills to be the COMPLETE package from there on out.

this is why most weapons feel kinda odd, clunky and slow. only some weapons like scythe actually had the evasive movement skills to engage/disengage properly. imagine if all weapons came complete like the scythe kit and had actual evasive skills in their kits.

sheesh, idek why im even typing this stuff it's really just comon sense. lemme stop.
