Do we just automatically lose to them? I have a much easier time surviving against them on my warlock than my death knight. I mean they just absolutely shred my death knight.
Yes. You are literally an easy kill to warriors since you have zero physical damage defense except a mediocre pvp talent. A 30% wall (ibf) does not give af about 2.2m mortal strikes that make your Death Strike heal for 3% of your max hp

Never fixed the armor bug from bfa, introduced a talent to band aid fix it, nerfed armor talent into the ground and added weak azz physical dr to death strike to make it more durable against a Monk/War that can both disarm.
Golf clap Blizzard devs. This is why DEI hires need to go. The actual fix here is the original armor problem from bfa. Not adding things you then nerf into non existence putting DK back on square one.

What does diversity, equity, and inclusion have to do with it? Which hires specifically? Name them.
If anything the lack of diversity and inclusion is the problem since none of the relevent devs seem to play death knight, and including one or more who do could improve our fortunes.

Really simple, they arenât interested in hiring the best people just meeting quotas based on immutable characteristics. When you do that product quality takes a hit. Hence we have mistakes like the DK armor bug which should have been solved in Alpha. Of BFA. By the way that armor bug wasnât a thing before BFA.
Lets look at this expac, needed to add a ring because they low balled character power, needed âturbo boostâ because again, low balled character power. Iâve never seen a sweeping ilvl increase in the nearly 20 years I played the game, and right back to a reliance on borrowed power to fix errors that again should have been dealt with in Alpha.
Pretty clear the company isnât hiring based on skill. Worked out great for Avowed no? How about Doom: Dark Ages. Diablo 4, which is also a dumpster fire. Seeing a pattern here? No one wants to play these games and or they get trash reviews because they are âAAAAâ titles done by people who probably wouldnât pass muster coding and designing a free to play steam game.
Anyone remember WoD? The expac that nearly killed this game-for real? Headed up by the ultimate DEI hire, Chad Nirving. Thereâs a reason meritocracy should be the 90% of what a company considers when hiring, not immutable characteristics.

DEI hires? Buddy, dig your head out of a certain âNewsâ channelâs rear crevasse for about a half second. The actual F does DEI have to do with a bad talent in a game? No matter what you think about it, thatâs so, so stupid because DEI is fully irrelevant here. I almost donât want to engage despite the fact that I agree with the meat of what youâre saying, because chalking it up to DEI is some serious, serious brain dead non-thought.
Crazy times, man. Crazy times.

Nothing. They have been downsizing over the years, the good have been leaving while the bad has stayed around and gotten their promotions.
Every single class forum has people saying that âthe devs dont play (insert class here)â. With all the addon stuff going on you can pretty much guarantee classes being looked into and being toned down. If something cant be performed without an addon its probably going to get the axe or be made easier to do / keep track of. Classes as a whole have just way too much going on.

Stay triggered. You know Iâm right. The programing quality from the studio is in the dumpster.
BtW the armor bug is its own thing. They introduced, then gutted talents to deal with it.

Iâm not triggered, I am saying youâre a knuckledragger. Those two things can be true at the same time. DEI ainât got jack to do with the topic at hand, dude. And youâre kind of a dumb a-hole for going there.
You see how thatâs weird, dude? You should. Because itâs weird. Nobody else was talking about DEI anything, just you out of the blue. And I guess adjacently me by pointing out how effing weird it is.
That said, yeah, DKs could use some help against physical damage perhaps, but thatâs also not their niche. Price you pay for being sturdier than everybody else vs magic damage, dude.

âits not happening, its just right-wing conspiracy theoriesâ
"It may be happening, but its not a big deal
"yeah its happening but its a good thing
rise and repeat
"people going mad about it are the real problem"
But its undeniable that after blizz ~~problems, a while ago, they started with the PR makeover and virtue signaling. Coincidentally, is when the game story and gameplay took a nosedive

Brother, something can be bad and have diddly to do with DEI or any other right (or left) wing talk-piece. Howâs about you chuds let stuff be bad on itâs own merit rather than trying to blame things on imagined issues, and stop being a jackass outside of that. Swear to god this brain rotâs unbelievable. Not everythingâs damned political, understand? I remember when people behaved a bit more sane, and it wasnât even all that long ago. I know Iâm screaming into the wind with this, you cultists are too far gone, but damn if it isnât cathartic sometimes.
You people make me feel old, dude.

It can, i donât deny that.
But you can also agree that sometimes, a company will go to deep into virtue signaling that they make it priority instead of prioritising the game, right?
Or you deny the countless of examples of games failing because of it?
If walks like a duck and quack like a duckâŠ

Youâre a cultist, youâre too far gone. Youâre the right wing flavor, but itâs all the same to me. Too far left, too far right, end result is youâre fried. Iâm not going to engage with you on this because you are physically unable to engage with anybody beyond your already echo-chamber confirmed beliefs, dude. Not in good faith. Basically, no, I donât agree with you, and I deny the vast majority of what you mistakenly believe is attributed to whatever nonsense you gleaned off of whatever channel. I also am aware that any conversation therein is a waste.
The very second you start blaming something on hiring practices rather than the objective fact of âthe writers did poorlyâ, youâre cooked. I donât get paid to deal with it, so I wonât be.

The reason why the game went downhill is because the good employees have left, writers like Steve came in with their fan fiction, and the war against addons have progressed the game to this point where they have to make things increasingly harder to counter the addons basically playing the game for you.

No, hes not. you are too far gone. You literally live to argue on the internet and call people names. You arent even right wing, just a conspiracy theorist.

Youâre claiming bad writing is due to hiring practices. Writers. Writing poorly. Because hiring. Writing. Hiring. You see how these two thingsâre separate? You can hire writers, you can hire bad writers, you can use whatever reason for doing so, but it doesnât make their writing good or bad. It does that on itâs own merit. Honestly, to claim hiring practices are to blame is basically to just be landing adjacent to racism or sexism, if not directly either of those two things.
Definitely do see yourself out. Maybe to a psychologist. I wonât be replying further, I said I wasnât going to engage and still got drawn in because good Lord this is crazy.

It a reflection of their working policies.
When you put quality at the backseat due to PR makeover and virtue signaling, your product will take a nosedive.
If you work on both. Like the proper way to do things, the product is not affected.
Its not rocket science mate.
