Replying to a player on Twitter who said recent patches have made the game "unplayable," Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt conceded that he's not satisfied with his studio's current balancing approach.

"Hey, yeah I think we've gone too far in some areas. Will talk to the team about the approach to balance," he wrote. "It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed."

It does seem that whenever a primary gun feels fun to use, it's nerfed into the ground.

They do that to keep people chasing the new primaries from the war bonds.

The cycle is pretty obvious at this point: warbond comes out, weapon is god, weapon gets nerfed, repeat.

League of Legends did this when they released new champions. New champ is overtuned for about a month, then it gets nerfed back down to baseline. Who knows how much money they got when people bought RP to get the sexy new champ and all their skins.

It's only a matter of time before Arrowhead starts making thirst trap Pool Party Helldiver armor.

Are you saying the medic armor isn’t shady thirst trap armour? Just look at them when they’re at the mission selection table!
