I'm sure you'll love being told "just chill" when your favorite character or class gets nerfed just for the sake of monetization. Or if you're in a PVP game and you're repeatedly dying to players who only use the most overpowered classes.

No, you'll ask for buffs and/or nerfs for characters that need them. Unfortunately for the games in the Unbalanced Trinity, a certain brand of madness has gripped their playerbases to think that unfairness is somehow fair.

i unno, just chill out

So what, I should just nod my head and agree that i'm supposed to buy class buffs with real world money (KF2), replace underpowered fighting game characters with paid DLC (SCVI), and/or just bully unplayable units as an overpowered pick in PVP games (M&B MP)?

chill out lmao

I have faith KF3 wont be that monetized

And finally, and arguably the worst example is Mount&Blade: Bannerlord. In both games, the most optimal strategy is to use bows and crossbows while playing the game like a late 2000s cover shooter because all-archer teams make infantry and horsemen unplayable.

In Bannerlord specifically, even if both teams have enough honor to not spam archers, you have a multitude of factions where one of them's good at everything, one of them is absolute dogwater and two other factions are weak against the best faction in the game. Players would rather the game stay unbalanced because they wanna farm for free kills in a PVP game

Thankfully, Chivalry 2 exists if you want a PVP medieval game.

In the case of Soulcalibur VI, Geralt was an average-performing character that ended up being nerfed to the point where he may as well not be in the game, and this is to get people to buy Haohmaru, another male guest character. People's responses to Geralt being bad was "good riddance, be less poor, buy the replacement character"

On the opposite end of things, Seong Mi-na received way too many buffs with the few nerfs she received being little more than a light slap on the wrist, and her being OP is perfectly fine because who has time to work for your wins when your pants are already halfway down your legs?

These games are united under one common thing: insane dumbfucks who think that egregious imbalance is somehow balanced

Having an underpowered class in a game where players need to stick to class roles is somehow okay, because it pressures people into buying DLC guns that are better than the base game offerings
