I guess it doesn't matter since I don't play Ultimates or go for 1st week Savage clears, but it's surely annoying knowing that something other than your own skill holds you back.

I saw other responses about less buttons, but that's not necessarily dumbing down. You can have a ton of complexity with less keys (i.e. PVP), it just requires the right tinkering. However, the battle system leashed to the 2 minute meta doesn't help this at all though.
