GGG is somewhat new to this, they dont know how to manage a giant game like this

Obviously they are making mistakes and making people uncertain, but its kind of expected

I wouldn't say they are new to this. With all due respect they have been working on this game for years and have done an incredible job. The game is addictive, challenging and always changing. However, I don't agree with the Queen of Hearts philosophy they have had lately of, "Off with their heads" nerf spamming. Unlike most companies at least they listen. Hell, Chris responds to support emails from time to time but I digress. This discussion actually has a few good opinions so I will keep it going. :)

They are new to managing a community of this size
Up until around a year ago they had a very small group of players - most of those players had a very different philosophy on how the game should be played

Theyve only had to deal with increased numbers and accommodate less serious players recently

I think GGG should add pants to the game, and then make BoR prevent you from using pants.
That would balance it, yes..

NERF EM ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can imagine it would be nerf'd.

Ask
1) is it a cost efficient item or build or simply allows for incredible power at high cost
2) has it reached immense levels of popularity and as a result a large portion of the community is currently using it


if yes to both, then it will be nerfed. It has been consistent spork, rf, and codt.

It was already buffed very recently by nerfing Cast when Damage taken and thus reducing the value of gem slots and thus reducing the opportunity cost of of Bringer of Rain.

I hope they don't, as I consider it balanced, but it is easily the best unique one can obtain outside of high level maps now.

And people want it for doublestrike/splash probably more often than they want it for facebreakers. 6L + blind is insane. Sure a 6L + amazing helmet might beat it but you can easily spend far more than the cost of a BoR just trying to 6L, nevermind rolling stats on it.

It's OP!

But to be perfectly fair, if it gets nerfed it would just become a legacy item. So... yeah. We don't have to worry about a nerf for a long time (3 1/4 months min).

The 7l is what makes it too good. The blind is op. You of course have mana issues to deal with but I've seen several people get by with mana leech.

They nerfed everything that make the game interesting. The chance of getting super items. Even if it will only a dream for most. Nerfing this super items and popular items like "cast when damage taken" is a huge mistake and destroyed the special feeling of the game.

It even makes the people paranoid, because you don't know if your item is the next one which is nerfed. It destroyed the economy (no one is selling good items because it could be the next which get legacy), it is destroying the whole game feeling. Why some people can not have a super item? Why can people not use a gem which is perhaps overpowered but had make fun as never a gem did before?
