Starting to dislike the talk of balance around this game

Discussion

I remember when this game started to gain traction, a lot of the posts around the discussion of balance were in relation to items, teach comp, character design, and individual skill expression.

Now, since this game has started to gain traction with a lot of big-name players starting to get their hands on this game, the discussion of balance has devolved into regurgitating what streamers are saying, pointing at what the high ranks are doing, or even pulling up a tracker app to justify their point.

Back when this game had four lanes, whenever an individual character felt too strong or difficult to fight against, posts from this sub, from what I saw, were discussions about the best itemizations or play patterns to successfully fight said character effectively. Now, any time a character becomes strong due to a recent patch, I rarely see discussions like that of which I mentioned earlier. All I see now are a lot of discussions of people calling for instant nerfs or saying the game is unplayable in response to anything they don't agree with.

It's exhausting or more depressing to see a shift in players getting angry with change rather than trying to adapt to it.
