You know this as well as I do, you know for a fact we were doing maps that we simply shouldn't have been able to do last ladder, using your totems as tanks.


Spell totems needed a nerf, Though they didn't need this nerf specifically, totems in general needed a nerf, and still need much much more nerfing.

Not everyone plays ladder. Not everyone plays hardcore. Frankly I don't care about mechanics that someone is using to race up the ladder or muscle through hardcore. In default dying is ok, and the leads players to create other "viable" builds which die more often but are far more entertaining playing totem chess with the game. You reinforce the point that too many decisions are based on alpha and hardcore ladder races which quite frankly a much smaller percentage of players participate in. They greatly changed totems in general over the last few months to allow a large number of skills that were previously unavailable to be used, at the SAME time they added a truckload of new spells. These merged perhaps into something to powerful, but rather than "dial it down" a notch, they swipe a totem from the players that use them and construct a "you are a summoner" if you run two totems, and I think it's the wrong fix to the problem of totems hogging to much aggro, the monsters could simply get a reset, so you have to "keep moving" if you want to use two of them, it doesn't matter, the point is broad stokes for the creativity of a few and the rapid introduction of a bunch of "new" stuff all at once without careful analysis of how historically the dual totems were not abused and used for much of the entire closed beta without concern. Regressive changes are not good in games generally.

Just because you didn't exploit it, doesnt mean it shouldn't have been nerfed.
