i feel like this is the best argument about the changes to summoner, in that it's not BAD, per say. braindead? yes. can it be changed around, expanded upon and given more complexity to it while keeping it in line with the changes made it? hopefully, though i don't think any of us are holding our breath with the dev team. but either way, it removed old SMN in the process, and with it a complex but rewarding experience, which could still readily fit on another class, yet players who want to play old SMN's playstyle don't have anything to work with.
