By looking at your posts and what you are talking about the only person with tunnel vision here is you, you believe in your opinions so hard that you are not accepting other possibilities which is quite close mined really.
Go on, QM, pick one of them characters and play a game, then tell me what you think.
Playing as characters like samuro/vikings/aba (let’s stick to these 3 as example for sake of conversation) FORCES you to play XP soak game and you have to do your 100% to not miss the soak and I’m not even talking about what you are supposed to do.
As Hammer, you can’t just clear the wave in siege mode without losing XP.
I’m not talking about nuking wave and running away, I’m talking about the fact that this change ruined characters by forcing them to focus on things that they aren’t supposed to be focusing on (to that degree).
