Feels like compared to past we are more neutered late game.

Player power feels amazing in campaign and through atlas completion, even getting voidstones. Honestly feels a little too good in campaign and early maps. But compared to the past, in my anecdotal experience it feels not as good.

Still hard to believe Settlers was 2+ years ago but thinking back to DD, Lightning Strike, Trickster in Settlers was so good, AM IceNova, Hexblast and there’s a bunch others I know I’m missing. And now it feels a lot harder to get that same level.
Is that because everything is figured out mostly and GGG has established a baseline with less over-performing outliers?

With that said, I suppose right now it doesn’t really matter because t17s are gone and we are all running scoured t16 lol
