If I had a moba...
Let's say I had half the means and mental to create a moba. If I created an item that "breaks" 12 of the characters in my game. I don't then balance that item around the champs, then balance the champs around that item until synergy between the champs and item is considered balanced. THAT IS PURE FUCKING STUPIDITY!
These 12 characters existed in my game before introducing Dawnsword and Taser to my moba.
I could admit that taser (and maybe my whole gem system) is flawed, then scrap it.
I could admit that Dawnsword is an unhealthy item and scrap it.
Instead of fucking over my loyal player base to keep the game from going stale.
