Well first off, you don’t know that the people who say these things are the same people complaining about damage. Second off, you can’t say that if people hate one extreme (damage mitigation is too high), they cannot also hate the other extreme (damage is too high), that’s like saying if they hate heatwaves, they can’t also hate blizzards.
If damage is overtuned, they probably need to buff damage mitigation to keep up with it, so if they nerf current damage, I have no doubt damage mitigation will be too high once again. The solution is then to nerf mitigation, not re buff damage.
Why are there so many people who get off saying “BuT pEoPlE sAiD tHiS eArLiEr?” to try and combat criticism of the game instead of actually trying to discuss whether or not the criticism is fair? If something is overtuned, people will probably complain about it. Is it hard to understand that people don’t want anything overturned, not just damage?
