That’s a whole lot of stereotyping you got going on in this sentence.
There is scaling in low levels too

Thanks for seeing our point in it.
matter of opinion.
Again, a matter of opinion.
It appears Blizzard has officially stated this is a legit thing, whether you choose to accept it is irrelevant.

Yeah we will see about that.
and?
its not going to work the exact same though, building a twink does not mean you always use max ilvl items. so the scaling won’t work the same for low levels as it does for 120s.
blizzard caters to the loudest whiner, not the best idea.
Their scaling is legit… just look at low vs max levels in wpvp. I don’t think people realize what Blizzard has done for this game tbh
I’ll never find that boring been 1 shotting people at low level or max level since I was born.

again though, if you are using shoulders of twinkyness, a level 13 rare blue item whose stats are better than anything else you can wear until 20, it is not going to scale appropriately compared to a level 19 green or heirloom gear. at least according to how the dev paintbrush infographic explained it.
What shoulders are you referring to? Show an example, if you can.
you know, the shoulders of twinkyness from that one boss in that one dungeon with the 0.001% drop rate.
Actually, no I don’t know. How about enlightening me.
you know, that boss who does the thing and then the other thing.
Please specifically find this, as this would be a very interesting case to learn about.
in other words, you don’t have an argument to be made nor backed up. gotcha.

idk how you read that other than you wanted to believe your own alternative facts. item scaling is not going to work properly with the way twinking works due to the mix of gear used to build most twinks. this is (or at least should be) common knowledge of twink building so using a made up example is fine.
Actually I think Blizzard is good at keeping things balanced for the most part
But it rather instead is common knowledge by now of the scaling to level and re-balancing of gear. I have scoured over hundreds of pieces of gear at all levels, and I have found one thing in common in but all except the most broken gear(so common I imagine it will be fixed). Have sockets? Lose a bit of stats on the default gear. Have a ton of primary stat over others? No secondary stats and likely less stamina. Ton of stamina/secondary? Little to no primary. Almost all gear was either originally and still keeps or was now scaled to give and take on the stats. It is pretty well balanced so you cannot have it all and have to choose.
Edit: Yeah it also scales to level so very few items retain their original requirement/stats. A lot of procs require that original level however which does serve to better prevent unbalanced procs at lower levels.

Odds are you are unaware of the huge overworking of every item in game via BFA.
Things have changed, complete overhaul.
Stats are actually capped through gearing options in the lower brackets.
Similar to Templates, but fully customizable within Blizzards set control.

Yeah but that’s kind of the problem isn’t it? You all tend to make up stuff then say it enough times so that you actually think it’s true. You know, double the hit points, one shotting, etc, etc.
Just trying to muddle your way through that failed attempt shows you have very little knowledge of the changes in gear at lower levels. Heirloom gear is the only shoulders that can get enchanted, with the exception of armor kits, which makes them 99% BiS.
But hey, them alternative facts though…
bingo!

That’s fair actually, one shotting people at max level due to your gearing and class/spec choices was really enjoyable. Seemed a little easier to do in earlier xpacs, now less so, imo.
In twink fights it’s meh, as a twink I always hoping to fight another twink and I can’t one shot them.
Twinking isn’t necessarily about 1 shotting people. In fact, non of my twinks can really pull that off.
What twinking does is give you breathing room for real life. Stop playing for 3 months? NP you are still at the top of the heirarchy.
The WORST CASE scenario is not even bad - its if everyone else starts twinking too!!! Thats not a problem! Its about not getting cheezed by turbo nerds that have 30-40 iLvL higher than you while also letting you have a life. Its that simple.
