The problem with Summoners

[Hiruke]

I love summoner and don't feel it is broken at all. All these threads are trying to compare apples to apples and making an orange an apple. It just doesn't work.

Whether it needs any adjustments and whether it should be completely redesigned are two completely different things. A lot of the reason why you keep seeing these threads in such quantities is that it DOES need adjustments. It doesn't NEED a complete redesign, but people take the opportunity to suggest such, because the job as it stands now is not what they want. But that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with the job.
