    They have not balanced frontlines with new skills as very evident. I don't think it is cheating in HW's you use to be able to do something similar they just patched it out eventually.

    They so much haven't balanced Frontlines for 6.1 that every objective is still using the old values from before, when our max HP was, like, 18k and we hit for 1k.

    The drones from Borderland Ruins hit for only 1500 damage, so they can be cleanly ignored. They, along with crystals from Fields of Glory, also have VERY low health pools because they're calibrated for us to be hiting, like, 400k damage on a good match (Even though now we can reach 2mil damage regularly.)

    Used to be that objectives melted fairly quick before 6.1, but now you can easily solo a Borderland Ruin drone with, like, 5 GCDs or something. It still takes you a while to solo a Fields of Glory small crystal, though, but it's MUCH faster than it used to be. And the big Ice can cleanly be burned under 20s if you have half your team in there alone, less if you're disputing points with the other guys.

    I think they just made sure that everything just... "Worked"... And decided to keep Frontlines around because otherwise they'd have to program the Frontline Roulette to be Rival Wings Roulette like we've asked for so long. And since we can't have nice things, they would rather keep this busted mode instead of just flowing people into Rival Wings...
