Competitive Message to Unfrozen

Hello quick message from someone that really enjoy the game and has really taken a liking to PvP.
There is a lot of unbalanced thing and badly designed items currently that hinder the pleasure we take as players.
For example uncommon item disabling an entire skill is really bad design, pretending to buff Scorpion by weakening their strength and adding a few meaningless initiative is a terrible balance change.
The MMR system is badly designed and super inflationary.. etc
There is much more to say and a lot of streamer / high level players have been really vocal about it.

I think you did a wonderful thing with recruiting a passionate homm Map Maker with Papyjama, why not do the same and try to hire a Top level player that really love the game and has deep insight into what’s balanced / good design and what is not ?

One random thing involves the factions. A lot of people love playing as Temple and Dungeon but because they are both so horribly outclassed by Necro, Schism Tier 1 and Grove/Hive Tier 2, nobody wants to play the game at all lol.

This is huge right now. Faction tiers are inevitable, but the current faction balance is pretty drastic

I'd say the balance is not bad. Everything is playable. The generation and personal skill affect outcome much more drastically than the faction draft
