So people that still defend GGG have stockholm syndrome because for 3 leagues now they nerfed and nerfed to the point most of the thinks are now obsolete and they come back everytime. This nerfes will not affect the 1% top players and never did affect them since they exploit the game like group play or bots.
This nerfes will not stop here and you bet they will nerf more next league.
Also since manifesto post GGG started damaging control and are removing people comments. So much for Chris Wilson and his transperency when people gets shut down and censored when Chris and his rabid defenders don't agree with criticism.
Get your facts straight people:You are not on the same level with Chris Wilson and he doesn't care an ounce for you. GGG is a company and all they care is money and nothing else.

It seems like a lot of these nerfs are a means to sidestep the performance issues that everyone experienced last league.

Lower number of monsters. Check.
Lower damage. Check.
Lower impacted areas of effect. Check.

On the surface, they are trying to claim it's just skill balancing, but the reality is that they have no answer, or desire, to better the performance.

Limit the calculations, pseudo performance boost.

They will continue to nerf and nerf every league due to avoid fixing core problems within the POE engine.
