On the contrary, I don't really hate or love PLD in particular. Its usability/accessibility is especially good given the stringent oGCD bloat of DRK/GNB, though WAR fills this void particularly well.

If anything, I think they need to think carefully with how they handle PLD next expansion. Main reason being how screwed up things were with Fight Design this expansion as well as PLD's kit conflicting with the "meta" 2m Burst Window they perceived. All of that could've simply been avoided if they took more time in the RnD department to hammer out fight inconsistencies using the weakest and strongest compositions in the game to see if it can be done.
