Dark Knight Megathread

[Shurrikhan]

While I'm definitely not in the camp that thinks there's some great DRK crisis when it comes to a self-heal, I do have to recognize that they are definitely missing a non-rotational heal that isn't coupled to their standard mitigation suite, and I could get behind something like this to give them a reasonable on-demand health bump in a way that doesn't warrant nerfing any of their existing skills to make room for incoming HP.

This seems reasonable. I'd slightly prefer going more the Paladin / StB DRK route in making AD a more flexible, rather than Equilibrium-like, self-heal, and don't much see the need to move AD over to that effect (especially when Salted Earth could easily fill that role already if we felt it was truly necessary), but I wouldn't hate that direction, either.

Separately:

Who are you then to disprove it?

Which generally holds the burden of proof, the simpler, more common explanation, or the likes of "no, it's all a conspiracy!" per the above rumor?

Calling a theory most likely false and hateful because it directs itself to the source of our discontent (i.e. the developers are completly ignoring DRK) is incorrect. It's criticism directed at the roots.

I call it most likely false because it's a needlessly convoluted explanation and because design issues resulting from intentional self-sabotage certainly seem less likely than design issues stemming from any other, more typical reason.

I've not called it hateful; you're again conflating or strawmanning.

Finally, why would you critique "the roots" through an explanation that you admit is irrelevant to the product, is unlikely (yes, until such time as you can prove that more problematic designs are consequent to vendettas than not, it is unlikely), and you have no actual knowledge of, rather than critiquing the actual product you are familiar with? That's like getting a bad steak and then yelling at the cook for having an affair (since who is anyone to say that's the less likely explanation in the wake of your righteous indignation) when the steak is right there and fully worth critique in and of itself. You don't need the random, "at the roots" tinfoil theories to give a valid complaint. To speak on about something you admit is irrelevant and you do not know the validity of is exactly how render your complaint invalid.

There's not more I can add to this. Either hold them accountable or spend the rest of your lives complaining in an echo chamber.

How about, again, looking at the product and making concrete suggestions instead of drowning them out by yelling pure frustration into walls as if feelings, alone, would drive results?

Perhaps enhanced Unleash and enhanced Unmend 2 will change your mind?

Right, because my critiques there were purely ironic? Enough strawmen.
