When you own the ball, you make the rules

Okay, I get it. D3 wants the game approachable to players of all levels. One of the methods is scaling - we know how that is working.

But now they have their uber level characters with 5/5/5 powers? (Simulator)

well, their game, their rules, their disenfranchised formerly loyal fan base....

  • Hasn't the 5/5/5 thing been around for awhile? I could've sworn it isn't new.

    I don't remember any specifics, but it's been around for a while -- it was in the previous Simulator PVE, I think?

    It has. Of all the things op could complain about, complaining about something like this just feels petty.
  • I'm pretty sure a level 395 5/5/5 kills you just as dead as a 5/5/3
  • The enemy have been 5/5/5 by default when they're above a certain level for a pretty long while now. I'm not sure what's the point of complaining about this being unfair when they can be level 395 in the first place. It's obviously not meant to be fair.

    That said I wouldn't mind having a 5/5/5 team up level 395 hero on my side for a change, like a more extreme version of the Falcon team up node in this event (the loaned Falcon is like close to twice of the combined level of all your enemies put together).
  • There should be a node where we get to play with a level 395 Devil Dino on our side.

    I'd rather take one of the high level Hammer fellas that continually feeds AP. Preferably the Sniper as their tiles always land in the middle of nowhere and do more damage than any character has HP.
  • Not exactly a bad thing though. Would you rather play against a lvl 395 5/5/5 OBW or a lvl 395 3/5/5 OBW?

    Some character are worst off with full cover lvl like all widow variant, IM40, Yelena Anderson, Venom, Moonstone, Magneto MN.

    Because a level 395 OBW is in danger of dying before making 4 purple matches?

    Honestly, if I had to fight a OBW at that high of a level, I would rather play her with 3/5/5. At 5/5/5, she'll steal 4 AP of every single color rather than just 3 of every color except purple. At level 85, 3/5/5 is better, but at level 395? She could take all the time she needs to destroy you. At least at 3/5/5 I'll still have purple and whatever other color that still remains to try and finish her off.

    Seriously? at lvl 395, any sort of aggressive recon mean you dead the turn after.
  • I own both the balls, but my wife makes the rules.

    Yep and because you'll win that match too easily your scaling gets automatically upped 20 levels for all other nodes...

    We'll know when she has the balls though too...we won't see you on here or in game anymore. To be fair, my wife will sometimes give me the look when I'm playing...
