But for some reason we got balances around ultimate when the new savage was coming out, like buffing gunbreaker for no reason? who even asked for this gunbreaker wasn't underperforming
Just as you said, they have to balance around ultimate, and they acted on the outrage of the community since everyone and their mother was crying for pct to be nerfed. So they got what they wanted, PCT was nerfed. Just like years ago, everyone's complained was about how their buffs didn't line up with other buffs, and what did the devs do? They listen, and they gave us the 2 min meta and now every single buff in this game might as well be a role action since they all do pretty much the same things at the same time. Same thing happened to SMN, ppl complain it was too hard or the pet ai was too chucky. So what did the devs do? They listened and removed the pets altogether(rip carby) and made the job play itself. Honestly, at this point, I don't blame even the devs all that much...I blame the community as a whole(mostly content creators like Mr Happy and others).
