Friendly reminder: Energy Shield leech will be nerfed before release

Same thing every patch, they announce a skill and before they release it nerf it.
This time it's this support gem.

Is there any source to that? :P
The forum cryhards don't need sources

Why would they? Its about time they acknowledge that support gems giving a damage modifier between zero and negative was a bad idea. Granted 39% more on leech seems a bit much, but not to the point of 'no way in hell that lasts out a season'

Its not like you have ES overleech so as to be both on full ES and leeching at the same time.
I'd be surprised if they won't make changes before release.

SRS is already touched, but I have doubts they'll nerf a new gem (too much).

No way that gem is sooo stupid they will release it like that to then nerf it mid season!

The problem of this gem is: everyone can use it. All you have to do is have one of your items has ES, then free more dmg modifier. This is just OP and dumb.

Its because they add something to the game and everyone is like "OMFG THIS IS MOST OP THING THAT EVER EXISTED"
Then GGG is like "wait, rly? I guess we need to nerf it before adding to the game".
GGG rely on community to test it's new patch game design.
