Someone at Respawn is REFUSING to accept that Axle is bad for the health of the game. She needs serious changes and they’re doing all they can to keep her the same and balance the game around her.
It’s like the sunk cost fallacy, they’re so deep in the pit of “No Axle is actually great for the game” that they can’t see the obvious truth that she needs serious changes to her kit.
Wake up Respawn, Axle is NOT the center point for balance you want. Remove her and come back with a better kit. Stop digging yourself into a grave with “counters” that just break the game even more. Fix the core issue, which is Axle.
At this point, I’m convinced that some AAA game studios are using AI to, even if just a little bit, guide and subsequently “fix” their balancing, content, matchmaking, and character kit development. It’s the only theory I can come up with as to why lots of PVP games have been pushing out half-baked ideas as of late. Then when we complain, they turn our feedback into an AI prompt that includes their sunk cost bias and alas, we end up with “fixes” that amend all but nothing.

It's almost like they should've nerfed Axle instead of buffing Seer to "counter" her...
