And a better balance dev might have done that for the benefit of the game. But even when I played WoW and Goodman handled class design and balance over there, he did hot-and-cold changes and reworks to classes and talents, endlessly. And even when he completely screwed up entire classes (and I mean across all the available specs), he absolutely never did a revert or admitted it was wrong.
He’ll, unfortunately, continue to drive the Mercy train right over the proverbial cliff, first. He doesn’t have much further to go.
I have nothing personal against the guy, but as a customer I absolutely hate his work. Overwatch, at this point, needs fresh leadership blood, and I mean both Kaplan and Goodman. People getting switched around between titles is not uncommon at studios that have multiple on-going titles (and more under development) as Blizzard does. But Overwatch badly needs fresh leadership from the top, down.
