Yes. Games are supposed to be fun. But if person A finds one thing fun, and person B finds that same thing unfun, then it cancels itself out.

What is fun for one could be unfun for another etc etc etc. That’s why balance becomes the primary focus. As that, ideally, equalizes fun among all parties.

Unless it’s a balance concern, fun is more important. I recall this quote from Titanium:

@Titanium-1686

Unless the hero is a balance concern, Player 2’s perception of Player 1’s character isn’t relevant. It is given that Player 2’s perception of Player 1’s character is likely negative when playing against Player 1. On the other hand, Player 1’s perception of Player 1’s character is not a given in any videogame. For the videogame to be successful, Player 1’s perception of their own character, or how it feels to play their own character, needs to be positive. If that perception is negative, players will stop playing. As a result, Player 1’s experience with Player 1’s character is infinitely more important than Player 2’s perception of Player 1’s character.

In short, a player needs to feel empowered by their own actions. The player does not need to feel empowered, and in a PvP game, should not and will not feel empowered, by the actions of their opponents.

Player 1’s experience with Player 1’s character was breached and disregarded when Blizzard tried to make Player 2’s perception of Player 1’s hero positive… which they also failed to do. By attempting to change that which neither needed to be changed nor could be changed, the balance team tampered with something that should never be altered.

Since the rework wasn’t for balance purposes, this could be a reason as to why the rework was a flop.
