This. Just as there's a difference between an enjoyable progression of a movie's plot and a cheap twist (or falling into preexisting tropes, cliches, etc.), I feel like we got the latter.

And this is, again, coming from someone who prefers WM over non-WM. Doesn't really have anything to do with that alone, but more of how we (or even "what") got here. It could have been better.

...just really getting annoyed that people take 'massive buff' as not what it always ends up to be after balancing, a cutting of options. The most powerful choice will always end up in line, according to job parameters, with every other 'most powerful choice'. The only issue is when there used to be, say, 3 of them, and now there's just the one.
