@LuchiousCaine said in This seems like the final straw:
This definitely seems to be a season that split the playerbase between those who really enjoy RNG and do not. The ingame Ascension chat is rife with both of these sides.
I personally agree with @Chaoss, loving the messy RNG and the fact it is so hard to get a meta-build going, so everyone can stand on equally wobbly footing.
I'm running a build I would never have dreamt of trying or having fun with, and am excited to try the next prestige round to explore more. I don't notice the grind for marks or scrolls because I enjoy this gameplay loop that much.Whether fortunate or not, once we are half way through the season, I can imagine people will have done so much rerolling and testing that meta builds will surface, the mess is no longer as messy and people are pushing mythic+ and raids.
A lot of people argue just as @dumboodaking and @Healplx do here, but I wish some constructive critiques from those who are against this kind of wild RNG:
- What do you think that should be done instead that isn't free-pick of Area 52?
- What can be done for this season's gameplay-loop without making it pseudo free-pick?
- How would you suggest fixing/balancing the parts that irritate you the most?
If I'm rolling as an Int--based hero, I shouldn't be getting Warrior or Rogue abilities 90% of the time, or vice-versa if I want to tank. If I'm trying to be a healer I shouldn't be getting melee skills. This is almost as bad as Gacha rng.
